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.
