About this PDF file: This new digital representation of the original work has been recomposed from XML files created from the original paper book, not from the original typesetting files. Page breaks are true to the original; line lengths, word breaks, heading styles, and other typesetting-specific formatting, however, cannot be retained, and some typographic errors may have been accidentally inserted.

In no particular order, these are the study of the lunar regolith as a probe of solar history, the search for martian fossil and extant life, determination of the meteorite bombardment history of the inner solar system, and the study of martian climate history. It can obviously be argued that, in theory, any of the discussed field activities could be accomplished robotically given sufficient advances in robotics and an adequate budget. That possibility is not examined here; CHEX's sole purpose is to look at the more useful activities that human explorers might conduct given their presence on the Moon or Mars for reasons other than science.
