SPACE ACT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION AND MOON EXPRESS INC. FOR LUNAR CATALYST ARTICLE 1. AUTHORITY AND PARTIES In accordance with the National Aeronautics and Space Act (51 U.S.C. § 20113), this Agreement is entered into by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, located at 300 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20546 (hereinafter referred to as "NASA") and Moon Express, Inc. located at 100 Space Port Way, Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920 (hereinafter referred to as "Partner" or "Moon Express"). NASA and Partner may be individually referred to as a "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties." ARTICLE 2. PURPOSE This agreement is an amended version of Space Act Agreement #18251, which went into effect on September 30, 2014. NASA recognizes that private-sector investment in technologies intended to enable commercial lunar activities has been increasing. In addition to recognizing these activities NASA wants to encourage and enable commercial successes to cultivate the increased innovation and entrepreneurship in the commercial space transportation sector. The “Lunar Cargo Transportation and Landing by Soft Touchdown” (Lunar CATALYST) initiative, is consistent with the National Space Transportation Policy. Per this policy, NASA is “committed to encouraging and facilitating a viable, healthy, and competitive U.S. Commercial space transportation industry”. This initiative also supports the internationally shared space exploration goals of the Global Exploration Roadmap (GER) that NASA and 11 other space agencies around the world released in August 2013. The GER acknowledges the value of public-private partnerships and commercial services to enable sustainable exploration of asteroids, the Moon and Mars. This initiative is managed with the Advance Exploration Systems (AES) Division with the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. AES develops prototype systems and demonstrates key capabilities to reduce the risk and costs of future human spaceflight missions. AES is pioneering innovative ways to drive a rapid pace of progress, streamline management, enable public-private partnerships, and utilize limited resources and the NASA workforce more effectively. The purpose of the Lunar CATALYST initiative is for NASA to encourage the development of U.S. private-sector robotic lunar landers capable of successfully delivering small (30 to 100 kg) and medium (250 to 500 kg) class payloads to the lunar surface using U.S. commercial launch capabilities. This no-funds-exchanged Space Act Agreement (SAA) with the Partner enables provision and coordination of NASA in-kind contributions at no cost to the Partner, of NASA civil servant technical expertise, access to NASA test facilities, the loaning of equipment, and software.

    Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research: Comprehensive Report to The NASA Lunar Science Institute March 1, 2012 Principal Investigator: Jack Burns, University of Colorado Boulder Deputy Principal Investigator: Joseph Lazio, JPL Page 1 3.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR) is a team of researchers and students at leading universities, NASA centers, and federal research laboratories undertaking investigations aimed at using the Moon as a platform for space science. LUNAR research includes Lunar Interior Physics & Gravitation using Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR), Low Frequency Cosmology and Astrophysics (LFCA), Planetary Science and the Lunar Ionosphere, Radio Heliophysics, and Exploration Science. The LUNAR team is exploring technologies that are likely to have a dual purpose, serving both exploration and science. There is a certain degree of commonality in much of LUNAR’s research. Specifically, the technology development for a lunar radio telescope involves elements from LFCA, Heliophysics, Exploration Science, and Planetary Science; similarly the drilling technology developed for LLR applies broadly to both Exploration and Lunar Science. Lunar Laser Ranging LUNAR has developed a concept for the next generation of Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) “A new Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) program, if conducted as a low cost robotic mission or an add- retroreflector. To date, the use of the Apollo on to a manned mission to the Moon, offers a arrays continues to provide state-of-the-art promising and cost-effective way to test general science, showing a lifetime of >40 yrs.

    Fuelling the Future of Mobility: Moon-Produced Space Propellants

    May 2021 Fuelling the future of mobility: Moon-produced space propellants Go Beyond The forthcoming decade is expected to witness a wave of missions to the Moon and Mars, and fuel supply is a major challenge to make these travels economically sustainable. The difference in the required energy to launch from Earth and from the Moon is causing people to reconsider refuelling point positions (e.g. NHRO, Near Halo Rectilinear Orbit) and contemplate using space-produced propellants. A whole production and transport value chain would have to be established on the Moon. Initial investments are sizeable (~$7B) but an economic oportunity for space propellants should exist if launch costs from Earth do not fall too much below current SpaceX standards. Capex optimization and increased scale should further improve the competitiveness of space propellants. Positive outcomes for ’terrestrial‘ applications are also expected to be significant.

Krekeler 2 1 Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Sciences, 203 Shideler Hall, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056, USA 2 Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Science, Miami University-Hamilton, Hamilton, OH 45011, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: 513-529-9662; Fax: 513-529-1542 Received: 10 June 2017; Accepted: 18 August 2017; Published: 23 August 2017 Abstract: The resource budget of Earth is limited. Rare-earth elements (REEs) are used across the world by society on a daily basis yet several of these elements have <2500 years of reserves left, based on current demand, mining operations, and technologies. With an increasing population, exploration of potential extraterrestrial REE resources is inevitable, with the Earth’s Moon being a logical first target. Following lunar differentiation at ~4.50–4.45 Ga, a late-stage (after ~99% solidification) residual liquid enriched in Potassium (K), Rare-earth elements (REE), and Phosphorus (P), (or “KREEP”) formed. Today, the KREEP-rich region underlies the Oceanus Procellarum and Imbrium Basin region on the lunar near-side (the Procellarum KREEP Terrain, PKT) and has been tentatively estimated at preserving 2.2 × 108 km3 of KREEP-rich lithologies. The majority of lunar samples (Apollo, Luna, or meteoritic samples) contain REE-bearing minerals as trace phases, e.g., apatite and/or merrillite, with merrillite potentially contributing up to 3% of the PKT. Other lunar REE-bearing lunar phases include monazite, yittrobetafite (up to 94,500 ppm yttrium), and tranquillityite (up to 4.6 wt % yttrium, up to 0.25 wt % neodymium), however, lunar sample REE abundances are low compared to terrestrial ores.

    Moon Village and the Role of Commercial Space Transportation

    67th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Guadalajara, Mexico, 26-30 Sep tember 2016. IAC-16-D6.1.4 The Role of Commercial Space Transportation in an International Moon Village Dr. George C. Nield Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST) Washington, DC, United States, [email protected] John Sloan Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST) Washington, DC, United States, [email protected] Nate McIntyre Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST) Washington, DC, United States, [email protected] Abstract The Director General of the European Space Agency has proposed that an international Moon Village be established as an appropriate and worthwhile follow-on to the International Space Station (ISS). This paper describes one possible implementation of the Moon Village, including specifically how commercial space transportation could support such an endeavor. It also provides some initial FAA perspectives on transportation safety that would be applicable to the project. A successful Moon Village would involve both public and private sector entities, and would be focused on carrying out a number of different missions, including exploration, scientific research, technology development, in-situ resource extraction, and even tourism. Each participant would provide specialized contributions as part of a broad, interdependent coalition. A new lunar economic structure may evolve in which both governments and corporate entities would exchange goods and services. Examples of basic products (goods and services) could include constructing and operating habitats; generating and distributing electrical power; providing food, water, and oxygen; supplying communications, navigation, and transportation services; and controlling and maintaining all of the necessary hardware and software.
