Total weight requirements for three types of manned, round trip, soft landing lunar missions are investigated, all starting out from space station circling Earth at altitude of 350 mi; first and second missions follow direct hit flight trajectories and employ chemical and nuclear power plants; third uses nuclear power to reach circular orbit around moon, whereas for landing and ascent portions final payload is propelled by chemical rockets.
