Abstract:

The potential market for liquid oxygen produced at the lunar surface for use by passenger launch vehicles and accommodation facilities in low Earth orbit (LEO) is estimated. It is concluded that oxygen may be the first major commercial lunar export, and so low Earth orbit tourism is potentially very important for lunar development.
