Scientific paper

Future planning for operations on the lunar surface involving humans usually falls into two main areas of study. The first area being habitation and the second being commercial or science studies. Although much attention has been given to these two areas, very little has been given to the operations of the surface transportation node upon which they will be dependent-the ``lunar spaceport'' itself. Specifically, the operational factors that must be considered for flight vehicle landing, offloading, vehicle health monitoring, vehicle repair and refurbishment, reloading, and launch from the lunar surface. The complex set of parameters affecting such operations will form not only a major aspect of lunar surface operations, but a defining and limiting set of parameters for the human lunar colony or habitation element as well. The evaluation and study of such parameters as affect the launch and landing site operational environment must be conducted if lunar operations are addressed from a total systems standpoint. .
