Scientific paper

A COSPAR 4-day symposium was dedicated to 'Astronomy and Space Science from the Moon' at the World Space Congress in Washington, in September 1992. The goal was to assess the interest in the Moon for conducting astronomy solar system observations and space science. The lunar vacuum allows a complete opening of the electromagnetic window and distortion-free measurements at the highest angular resolution, precision and temporal stability. The Moon is perfect for continuous monitoring of the Sun, Solar System targets, and for deep observations of galactic and extragalactic objects. It is a unique insitu laboratory for selenophysics, chemistry and exobiology. It contains useful resources and is accessible from Earth for installation, operations maintenance, robotic and human activities. Scientist, engineers and space agencies are assessing the performances and possible scenarios for lunar observatories and laboratories. We summarize here the symposium, where invited papers reviewed current ideas and status, and selected oral contributed papers highlighted specific proposals or related activities. Discussions allowed further interactions about new concepts, techniques, constraints and strategies.
