The goal of this report was to assess the technical feasibility and social implications of harvesting gases at altitudes in or above the stratosphere for use on a manned lunar base. Through research and calculation, we analyzed the requirements of collection, separation, compression, and delivery of the gases to Low Earth Orbit. This analysis has found harvesting the atmosphere to not be a promising option given current technology.
