In 1984, with the Space Shuttle in service, a team based at the Johnson Space Center made a feasibility study for NASA's return to the Moon. It anticipated later studies in using NASA's planned infrastructurethe Shuttle, a Shuttle-derived heavy lift vehicle, a space station, and an orbital transfer vehicleto build a permanent 18-crew moon base sometime between 2005 and 2015. ==Design details== The Space Shuttle was to have transported the empty 21,000-kilogram lunar lander and payload to the space station, where they would rendezvous with the 100 ton propellant module. The first objective was the creation of small semipermanently manned "camp" on the lunar surface in 2005-2006. NASA was to have launched a lunar orbiting space station in 2008-2009 to support the creation of a permanently manned moonbase by 2009-2010. This operational surface base would have contained an expanded mining facility, lunar materials processing pilot plants and a lunar agriculture research laboratory; pilot oxygen production and experimental mining facilities would have been landed previously. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JSC Moon Base」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
