1. Artwork of the unmanned hab lander (SSF module on top of the lander descent stage).

2. Manned lander, having landed nearby, crew transfers provisions and equipment to the hab.

3. one of the telescopes on the telescope farm.

4. crew awaits the rescue helicopter after landing in the southwestern desert (presumably) after
returning from the Moon.

5. lunar surface ops-- emplacing experiments, laying cables to the telescope farm, etc. with rover.

6. another telescope at the telescope farm.

7. a solar telescope for studying the sun at the telescope farm...

8. ISRU experiments-- using lunar soil to produce oxygen, combined with hydrogen from Earth to
make water, and experiment with making bricks or blocks from sintered lunar soil.

9. ISRU brick making experiment...

10. The manned lander, atop its 33 foot diameter upper stage, inside its protective payload
fairing. Unlike the Apollo which used Lunar Orbit Rendezvous, and left the CSM in orbit for
the return to Earth, the FLO would land the CSM on top of an oversize descent and landing
stage, and the return to Earth would be directly from the lunar surface to TEI.
