  3. Agenda • 09:15 – 09:30 Introduction and objectives (Chairs) • Robotic Missions to the Moon(09:30 – 12:30) Moon Exploration (Espinasse, ASI) Lunar Exploration in JAXA’s Long Term Vision (Matsumoto, JAXA) An Introduction to the Robotic Lunar Exploration Program (Jasin, NASA) SMART-1 (Coradini, ESA) • Human Lunar Architecture (14:00 – 18:00) ESA Human Lunar Architecture Activities (Hovland, ESA) Lunar Strategic Roadmap Status (Guerra, NASA) ISS as spaceport for human Moon mission Lorenzoni, ASI)

  4. Robotic Missions to the Moon • Two missions are under way • SELENE to be launched in 2006 • LRO for launch in 2008 • ASI, JAXA and NASA study future missions • ASI looks at a wide range from orbiter to lander with mobility • JAXA wishes to continue the SELENE series, potentially followed with an ISRU mission • NASA is working on a lander as Mission 2 and another orbiter to complete research from orbit • ESA, through its Science Directorate, is considering and discussing participation in Chandrayan and Chang’e • An orbiter following on LRO seems to be an excellent opportunity for international co-operation • Science goals match or are complementary

  5. Human Lunar Architecture • ESA presented a vision for Lunar Exploration which was backed-up by architecture studies in the ESTEC Concurrent Design Facility • A further architecture study addressed an excursion scenario and a lunar base scenario • More studies are planned to help identify elements which Europe could contribute to an international endeavour • NASA’s presentation addressed the outcome so far of the Lunar Roadmapping activity, which is now accelerated and shall lead to an overall architecture by July • The following scenario options were elaborated Lunar Evolution Early Outpost Early Lunar ResourcesExpedited Moon-to-Mars • Need for a heavy lift launch vehicle identified from Mars requirements • More intense exchange on architecture trades desirable • All participants agreed to further discuss how this can be done in a rapidly changing environment

  6. Working Groups • The group was concerned about the many different groups discussing exploration and claiming to co-ordinate • In view of the complexity of the exploration scene there no easy way out • It was suggested to try and reduce the number of groups and to define the relations and interfaces between them by identifying clear terms
