Description
The Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) encompasses a series of exploratory and colonization missions that will expand human presence to the Moon and Mars via an evolutionary program, whereby each succeeding phase builds on and compliments the previous efforts. The first phase in this initiative, as defined by president Bush, is to "return to the Moon, this time to stay". In order to accomplish this goal by the turn of the century the First Lunar Outpost (FLO) strategy has been proposed. In support of this mission scenario, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has designed a habitation module and cargo lander concept which offers significant advantages over the current baseline design. This paper will briefly present the Marshall design, emphasizing the cargo lander.
