Because of the Moon's unique place in the evolution of rocky
worlds, it is a prime focus of NASA's space exploration vision.
Currently NASA is defining and implementing a series of robotic
orbital and landed missions to the Moon as the initial phase of
this vision. To realize the benefits of this activity, NASA needs a
comprehensive, well-validated, and prioritized set of scientific
research objectives. To help establish those objectives, NASA asked
the NRC to provide guidance on the scientific challenges and
opportunities enabled by sustained robotic and human exploration of
the Moon during the period 2008-2023 and beyond. This final report
presents a review of the current understanding of the early earth
and moon; the identification of key science concepts and goals for
moon exploration; an assessment of implementation options; and a
set of prioritized lunar science concepts, goals, and
recommendations. An interim report was released in September 2006.
