S84-43855 (October 1984)--- An artists's rendering gives a possible preview
of 21st century lunar base activity. A lunar surface crane removes
a newly arrived habitation module from an expendable lunar lander.
The crane operator would place the module on the flat trailer for hauling
back to the main base. Other expendable landers (background) tell-tale
earlier shipments as a buildup plan gradually progresses. The artwork
was done by Patrick Rawlings of Eagle Engineering. PLEASE NOTE: This
artwork was unveiled during an October 29-31, 1984, conference in Washington,
D.C. titled Lunar Bases and Space Activities of the 21st Century. It
was originally done for a NASA report titled Impact of Lunar and Planetary
Missions on Space Station. |
