ANNOUNCING :
**** THE JOURNAL OF LUNAR EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ****
PURPOSE:
This publication is meant to serve as a forum for discussion of lunar
science and development activities. Because workers in this area are
scattered around the world, it is important to keep in touch with work
going on through this type of publication. There has proved to be
widespread interest in returning to the Moon, both in the private and
government sectors. It is our aim to publish all articles relevant to
the Moon.
FORMAT:
Articles on anything relating to the Moon are welcome.
Some examples:
* Scientific papers on any lunar studies
* Summary articles on past lunar studies
* New analysis of old lunar data (which may or may not
have been looked at before)
* Lunar Base studies,designs
* Materials processing as related to Lunar materials
* Power systems for lunar utilizations
* Designs for robotic prospectors and mining missions,
as well as manned ones.
* ETC...
These are just a few items, not meant to cover everything. We
encourage submissions of all kinds to find out all the different Moon
related work going on. You may request peer review for articles.
In addition to technical articles there will be a section for news;
that is, who is doing what, where and conference and meeting
announcements. There will also be a forum for opinions (viewpoints and
letters to editor). And there will be some departments, such as
'Problem of the Month'. Feel free to suggest other sections,
departments.
This journal will be completely public, so please do not send
proprietary information.
