Application of Site Analysis to Enhance Lunar and Mars Expeditionary Base Design

Dankewicz, Cathy / Lewis, Ruthan / Micheels, Kurt A.

Revitalization of NASA's lunar robotic and human exploration program is underway. Data from previous exploration missions is being reexamined, interpolated, and extrapolated to near term and far term needs for development of human outposts. Within the development process, site analysis will use this data and propose new data required to establish the infrastructure design for which environmental effects are accounted, facility functions and arrangement are optimized, safety and health risks are minimized, and science return is maximized. The content and application of site analysis to lunar outpost and base design and utilization will be discussed.
