Concept Exploration and Refinement Team Studies. [This study was supported by eleven teams and looked at approaches to lunar exploration in the context of the VSE. Each team developed their own approach, including scope and scale, to lunar exploration in the 2015–2030 timeframe and built an architecture to support this approach. These approaches were reasonably diverse and illustrate a good spectrum of ideas for a lunar program. Overview presentations at and detailed reports available through Mathew Barry at NASA Headquarters].
