it is a study and not anything going forward.
That has GOT to be one of the most content-empty abstracts I've ever seen, even for something out of a NASA regional center/contractor make-work project. The people who are planning a this concept need to stop wasting their time with idealized notional plans and bury their heads on the PDR and CDR FMEA documents for the Space Station Freedom/ISS ECLSS, and then compare those to the almost 20 years since then worth of operational data. THAT'S how you're going to do real design work for the next long-duration spacecraft ECLSS.
Sorry Herb but that's not the NASA way. The NASA way is to launch a 2 year study to create a list of everything they already have that would work well, make sure everything on that list gets thrown out, dismantled or destroyed and then start all over again from scratch.

Also Yes'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress' and may cause politicians, bean counters, and NASA Administrators to gain some respect for 'If it ain't broke, don't reinvent it'. As for me, I'm looking for a LEM.
That book was a REALLY good by the way
Are there plans/ drawings of the MMSEV? I am trying to make one for Orbiter a FREE Space simulator.But I may have it too wide as a rover base doesn't fit and stretched out looks too wide.
