Planetary Missions
Technical Committee

The Planetary Missions Technical Committee plans how the lunar community will support manned and unmanned missions outside of cislunar space. These missions might include sending spacecraft to other planets and their moons, to asteroids, or to deep space. The committee estimates the future demand for support to these space missions and determines the resources the missions will require. They calculate the relative costs of providing these resources from the Moon vs using other methods of supply. The committee maintains a model which defines the Artemis Project's standard reference for predicting the number and type of such space missions throughout the coming century. The committee develops a finacial model for support to these space missions and provides that model as input to the economic model developed by the Lunar Base Advanced Planning Technical Committee.
