Abstract
The lunar scientific community is currently exploring and planning a new vision of scientific experimentation and exploration using the lunar surface as a platform for scientific investigations that include Earth observations, lunar science, Solar System studies, and the Universe that are uniquely enabled on the lunar surface. This lunar exploration science begins with robotic precursor missions, eventually followed by human missions to the lunar surface. The concept of a central lunar operations facility can be envisioned to support the challenge of coordinating lunar operations and science across a myriad of participating institutions. A Center for Lunar Exploration Operations (CLEO) could be implemented at a facility such as the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center where significant infrastructure is readily available.
