NASA held the "Second Conference on Lunar Bases and Space Activities" on April 5-7 1988 at the Johnson Space Center. NASA Technical Reports Server has the technical papers presented at the conference available in two PDF files.

The Second Conference on Lunar Bases and Space Activities of the 21st Century, volume 1

Abstract:

These papers comprise a peer-review selection of presentations by authors from NASA, LPI industry, and academia at the Second Conference (April 1988) on Lunar Bases and Space Activities of the 21st Century, sponsored by the NASA Office of Exploration and the Lunar Planetary Institute. These papers go into more technical depth than did those published from the first NASA-sponsored symposium on the topic, held in 1984. Session topics covered by this volume include (1) design and operation of transportation systems to, in orbit around, and on the Moon, (2) lunar base site selection, (3) design, architecture, construction, and operation of lunar bases and human habitats, and (4) lunar-based scientific research and experimentation in astronomy, exobiology, and lunar geology.
