Lunar Outpost provides a detailed account of the various
technologies, mission architectures, medical requirements and
training needed to return humans to the Moon within the next
decade. It focuses on the means by which a lunar outpost will be
constructed and also addresses major topics such as the cost of the
enterprise and the roles played by private companies and individual
countries. The return of humans to the surface of the Moon will be
critical to the exploration of the solar system. The various
missions are not only in pursuit of scientific knowledge, but also
looking to extend human civilization, economic expansion, and
public engagement beyond Earth. As well as NASA, Chinaa (TM)s
Project 921, Japana (TM)s Aerospace Exploration Agency, Russia, and
the European Space Agency are all planning manned missions to the
Moon and, eventually, to Mars. The Ares-I and Ares-V are the
biggest rockets since the Saturn V and there is much
state-of-the-art technology incorporated into the design of Orion,
the spacecraft that will carry a crew of four astronauts to the
Moon. Lunar Outpost also describes the human factors,
communications, exploration activities, and life support
constraints of the missions.
