A Lunar Based Chemical Analysis Laboratory

Original price was: $50.00.Current price is: $10.00.

This book is unique in that it focuses on research opportunities afforded by a lunar base, an area of interest to persons involved in both life and planetary sciences. The unique aspects of a lunar base will provide scientists with the opportunity to address a wide range of scientific questions and problems, ranging from the utilization of extraterrestrial resources to the long term effects of reduced gravity. Because of the nature of the subject matter, this book will remain a timely summary of this field for many years to come.

Description

The Second Lunar Analysis Laboratory Workshop (LAL-II), held in Dijon, France, originated from discussions and ideas that evolved from the earlier first Workshop on A Lunar-Based Chemical Analysis Laboratory (then called LBCAL-I), which had convened at College Park, Maryland some three years earlier. The Second Lunar Analysis Laboratory Workshop was held in conjunction with the International Conference on Space Exploration and the Future of Humans in Space, in Dijon, which immediately preceded this Workshop.
