First lunar outpost: Mission overview

Information is given in viewgraph form on the First Lunar Outpost. Topics covered include the program strategy, a mission overview, and evolution options. It is noted in the mission overview that each flight to the moon requires a single launch, greatly simplifying the operations that would be required in a multiple launch scenario. A one-way cargo mission will precede the arrival of the first crew. The crew will perform both extravehicular activity and intra-vehicular activity in the areas of surface exploration and science activities. After the mission is complete, the crew will return to earth.
