Volcanic activities on the terrestrial planets tell us about fundamental processes of volcanism that operates under different initial and boundary conditions from those on the earth. Therefore it is very important to make comparative studies on volcanic phenomena among terrestrial planets for understanding essential mechanisms of volcanic processes in the earth. As the first step of geoscience surveys for terrestrial planets, a program of the Lunar Science Surveyor Mission is planned by a group of geophysicists, geologists and physicists in Japan. In this program, it is planned to investigate lunar internal structure by a seismological technique, and mineralogical and chemical compositions of lunar surface by remote sensing techniques. The collaboration with Japanese volcanologists, who have strong desire to study such a comparative planetary volcanology, is evidently essential. The Japanese Lunar Science Surveyor Mission will hopefully be made by the early 1990's by using a modified version of the main rocket to be developped in the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan.
