Abstract

Military forces are now limiting their activities to near-space, and they carry out their missions within this section of the space. Therefore, familiarity with new concepts of spatial geographic factors is necessary for maneuvering in a modeling environment.
In the study of spatial geographic factors, through the nineteenth and twentieth parts of this series of papers under the title “an introduction to military geography”, the first two of the four following regions were discussed.
A) Intermediate section of aerospace;
B) Near- space (close to the environment of the Earth);
C) Moon and its surroundings;
D) The outer space without a definite or fixed shape beyond it;
This paper deals with "the Moon and its surroundings".
