January 1, 1968

This report presents a preliminary Lunar Exploration Plan (LEP) for the Marius Hills region of the Moon. The Marius Hills region is one of the six sites considered by the GLEP site selection group as a candidate for manned exploration using mobility systems allowing a radius of operation of at least 5 km. The 3-day mission considered for the Marius Hills region is based on the use of one lunar roving vehicle (LRV) and two lunar flying units (LFU's) and allows for four extravehicular activities (EVA's) of 3 hours each.
