“NASA has refined its plans for a return of humans to the moon. How it plans to do so is contained in its Lunar Architecture which is currently under development. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) Deputy Associate Administrator Doug Cooke and others gave a preview of several presentations they would be making at an AIAA conference that afternoon. According to Cooke, “this has been an ongoing effort for more than a year starting in June 2006″. In so doing, NASA involved a wide range of scientific, international, and commercial interests in these studies.”
