This fascinating 1968 report describes the results of a study of a semi-permanent lunar surface observatory, called Moonlab. Many unusual aspects of a moonbase are explored, including a futuristic take on astronauts for the mission: "Another more remote possibility is that the people pool will contain "modified people"; that is, at a later extremely mature stage of MOONLAB people who have had extensive conditioning, either psychological, physiological, or both, will be available for particular tasks not easily accomplished by normals."

The Handbook of Lunar Base Design and Development provides information on all aspects of designing, building and operating future bases on the Moon, along with its commercialization. There are many plans already in place for doing so, and many companies ready to produce the necessary materials. Split into nine comprehensive thematic sections, the reference work covers the entire lunar base process, from its inception to its operation. It begins with chapters on the history of lunar exploration and present-day, essential data on the Moon and its environment. It then examines the initial mission planning and site selection phases before moving on to current lunar base designs, their development, and finally their day-to-day operation. The final sections discuss the commercialization of the Moon in depth, exploring topics ranging from lunar resource utilization all the way to the exploration of Mars and beyond. Editor-in-Chief Peter Eckart’s Lunar Handbook served as a foundational source in this field from its initial release in 1999 through the 2006 second edition, providing the inspiration for this long overdue, completely overhauled work on the subject.This book thus serves as a practical all-in-one guide for aerospace professionals and engineers of all related disciplines looking to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of setting up a commercial lunar base.

This fascinating 1959 report from the U.S. Army describes an unapproved plan for building a large manned military base on the moon in the 1960s. The document - in two volumes - provides many details of the plan, including launch and rocket plans and information about the base, life support, moon suits, and much more. Contents: CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION * CHAPTER II: TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND PLANS * Objectives and Scope of the Study * Resume of the Technical Program * Outpost * Space Transportation System * Transportation System Integration * Communications Electronics * Launch Site * Program Logistics * Research and Development * CHAPTER III: MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS * Scope of Operations * Organization and Operational Concepts * CHAPTER IV: NON-TECHNICAL SUPPORTING CONSIDERATIONS * General * Policy * Political, Psychological, and Security Implications * APPENDIX A: POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES WITH RESPECT TO ACTIVITIES IN SPACE * Statements by the President of the United States * Policy Declarations by the Congress * APPENDIX B: LEGAL AND POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS * General * Possible Precedents * The Law of Space * Political Implications * Specific Problems * APPENDIX C: TECHNICAL SERVICES SUPPORT CAPABILITIES * Resources and Capabilities * Ordnance * Engineer * Signal * Army Medical Service * Quartermaster * Transportation * Chemical * Conclusions * * CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION * CHAPTER II: OUTPOST * Location * Design Criteria * Construction Procedure and Schedule * Medical Requirements * Personal Equipment * Life Essentials Supplies * Surface Transportation * Environmental Research and Support Activities * CHAPTER III: SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM * Flight Mechanics * Orbital Carrier and Space Vehicles * Transportation System Integration * CHAPTER IV: COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRONICS * Introduction * Communications Requirements * Surveillance Requirements * CHAPTER V: LAUNCH SITE * Requirement * General Criteria for Launch Site Selection * Launch Site Operations * Launch Facilities * Possible Equatorial Launch Sites * Christmas Island Versus Brazil * CHAPTER VI: PROGRAM LOGISTICS * Manufacturing Considerations * Transportation Considerations * Movement Control * Personnel and Administration * Operations and Training * CHAPTER VII: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT * Project Phases * Basic and Supporting Research * Program Requirements, R&D * R&D, Supporting Research, Project HORIZON * Supporting Role of Other U.S. Programs * CHAPTER VIII: PROGRAM COST AND SCHEDULE * Outpost Cost * Orbital Station * Vehicles * Payload Containers * Launch Site and Operation * Communications and Electronics System * Personnel Training * Research and Development * Program Management The introduction states: There is a requirement for a manned military outpost on the moon. The lunar outpost is required to develop and protect potential United States interests on the moon; to develop techniques in moon-based surveillance of the earth and space, in communications relay, and in operations on the surface of the moon; to serve as a base for exploration of the moon, for further exploration into space and for military operations on the moon if required; and to support scientific investigations on the moon. Initially the outpost will be of sufficient size and contain sufficient equipment to permit the survival and moderate constructive activity of a minimum number of personnel (about 10-20) on a sustained basis. It must be designed for expansion of facilities, resupply, and rotation of personnel to insure maximum extension of sustained occupancy. It should be designed to be self-sufficient for as long as possible without outside support.

Our first journey to the Moon ushered in a new era in which man will no longer be confined to his home planet. The concept of traveling across the vastness of space to new worlds has stirred the imagination of men everywhere. One-sixth of the Earth's population watched as the Apollo 11 astronauts walked and worked a quarter of a million miles away, The success of this mission has opened new fields of exploration and research- research which will lead to a greater understanding of our planet and provide a new insight into the origin and history of the solar system. The Apollo 11 mission was only a beginning, however. Subsequent missions will reflect more ambitious scientific objectives and will include more comprehensive observations and measurements at a variety of lunar sites. This document is a preliminary report of the initial scientific observations resulting from the Apollo 11 mission. We expect that further significant results will come from more detailed analysis of the returned samples of lunar material, and from additional study of the photographs and data obtained from the emplaced experiments. Beyond that, we look forward to increasing international participation in the exploration of the Moon and neighboring regions of our solar system. The Manned Space Flight Program dedicated to the exploration and use of space by man. In the immediate future, men will continue exploring the Moon, adding greatly to our knowledge of the Moon, the Earth, and the solar system. It is expected that in Earth orbital laboratories men will conduct experiments and make observations that are possible only in the space environment. In standing firmly behind the space science program, it has been necessary to provide means for man to live and work in "this new ocean." A transportation system has had to be provided with a navigation system of great precision. An extensive medical program has been necessary to provide data on man's reaction to the space environment. The Mercury, Gemini, and early Apollo missions have produced, step by step, the answers needed for the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. The rapid progress of the program obscured its great problems. The success of the Apollo 11 mission was solidly based on excellent technology, sound decisions, and a test program that was carefully planned and executed. To this foundation was added the skill and bravery of the astronauts, backed up by a fully trained and highly motivated ground team. It must not be forgotten that the lunar mission was very complex from all points of view--planning, hardware, software, and operations. Of necessity, margins were small and even small deviations in performance or conduct of the mission could have jeopardized mission success. In parallel with the emphasis on engineering problems and their solution, the scientific part of the Apollo 11 mission was planned and executed with great care. The samples of lunar soil and rocks returned by the astronauts will add much detailed scientific information. The photographs and observations of the crew have already answered some questions man has asked for thousands of years. The emplaced experiments have yielded data unavailable until now. This report is preliminary and covers only the initial scientific results of the Apollo 11 mission. Much work remains for the large number of scientists involved to understand and interpret the facts that are only partly exposed today.
