Three man lunar shelter to be landed using the Grumman LM/Truck. Capable of supporting a 50 day lunar mission. Proposed uses included as a mobile habitat and as a lunar astronomical observatory.

The attached two documents are all that I had downloaded before the 'Cry Woolfe' incident and comprise volume 4 of the final report (Which was never fully available.) and a viewgraph presentation.

Thanks for Data, Graham1973

Before someone wonder a 3 man shelter ?
Grumman study a LM Taxi version with 3 astronauts on board.
while CSM remain unmanned under Remote controls or Hibernation Mode in Luna orbit.

I have the documentation for the extended CSM/LM study somewhere I will post that to a separate thread when I locate it. From memory that study covered the idea of using RTGs to provide standby power during the hibernation period.
