| Description: | The motivation for this study is derived from a renewed interest through missions from NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ISRO and CASC with recent talks on permanent human and robotic presence on the Moon. A framework has been developed in the report to assess space missions from a combined policy, technological and industry perspective. The framework comprises of eight key components in governmental policies, economics, scientific and outreach rationales, stakeholders and funding, TRL levels, science and business objectives, and risks. Complementary rationales and opportunities have been analyzed and new collaboration/partnership structures are proposed. Various elements of this framework have been elaborated in the report in legal feasibility, science objectives, technology assessments and outreach strategies to provide an in-depth look for a deep drilling lunar mission study. |
