Four candidate imaging aperture synthesis concepts are described for possible emplacement on the Moon beginning in the next decade. These include an optical interferometer with 10 μarcsec resolution, a submillimeter array with 6 milliarcsec resolution, a Moon- Earth VLBI experiment, and a very low frequency interferometer in lunar orbit.
