“…Assuming success in all currently-planned Apollo experiments and an adequate data analysis, we can expect to have a thorough understanding of lunar surface properties at six sites, a good passive seismic survey, the beginnings of a good Earth-Moon laser ranging network, and a variety of information on geologic processes in the lunar environment. The Apollo orbital experiments, coupled with the results of earlier missions [14] should yield metric photography over broad regions, im proved knowledge of the Moon's equatorial geopotential and surface shapes, and a available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0074180900097473 variety of remote-sensor data on surface physical and chemical properties from the equator to middle latitudes.…”

With results of past and present lunar exploration programs in hand, it is now possible to outline the next logical steps in the exploration and use of the Moon. This paper describes first, a set of mission objectives and engineering capabilities considered desirable and feasible for projects following soon after Apollo, and second, some objectives for the farther future.

“…A class of experiments important in planetology can be carried out in lunar orbit [14]. The planned Apollo CSM instrumentation will be very useful, but the Apollo mission constraints prohibit achievement of highly-inclined orbits.…”
