NASA’s Artemis mission plans to return to the Lunar surface in the coming years with the goal of re-establishing a “Moon to Mars (M2M)” manned presence using remotely controlled or autonomous construction equipment. NASA has released their blueprint to mission accomplishment and outlined objectives critical to success. This paper will further investigate the requirements and criteria for evaluating efficacy of potential solutions, primarily by focusing on the approach to planning. This will be explored by using components of critical path method, a scheduling technique used in the construction industry that is effective for navigating uncertainty. Criteria will include planning, using assumptions, comparing solutions, analyzing risk, and interoperability. This paper will also propose a logical progression of objective development to accomplish the mission of lunar colonization as an example to begin further discussion.
