    MOON VILLAGE ASSOCIATION DECEMBER 5-8, 2019 3RD MOON VILLAGE WORKSHOP & SYMPOSIUM TOKYO & KYOTO, JAPAN Tokyo & Kyoto, JAPAN Moon Village Workshop & Symposium – 2019 December 5-8, 2019 FINAL REPORT 1 MOON VILLAGE ASSOCIATION DECEMBER 5-8, 2019 3RD MOON VILLAGE WORKSHOP & SYMPOSIUM TOKYO & KYOTO, JAPAN Section 1.0 Introduction The Moon Village Association (MVA) was created as non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Vienna, Austria. The goal of the MVA is the creation of a permanent global informal forum for stakeholders like governments, industry, academia and the public interested in the development of the Moon Village. The MVA fosters cooperation for existing or planned global moon exploration programs, be they public or private initiatives. The Association comprises more than 200 individual and 25 Institutional members from some 40 countries around the globe, representing a diverse array of technical, scientific, cultural and interdisciplinary fields. MVA held the first International Moon Village Workshop at, and in cooperation with International Space University (ISU) in Strasbourg, France in October 2017. The second Moon Village Workshop & Symposium (WS&S) was held at the University of Southern California (USC) in cooperation USC and National Space Society (NSS) in Los Angeles, California in November 2018. During December 5-8, 2019 the Moon Village Association organized the third Workshop & Symposium, which was held in Tokyo & Kyoto, Japan, in cooperation with Tokyo University of Science, Kyoto University, and Keio University Institute of Space Law. The third workshop & symposium had over 250 participants from across Japan and the world. See below for a “group photo” from the meeting. Group Photo from the 3rd Moon Village Workshop & Symposium (December 2019) There was a total of 234 registered participants, all of whom attended the Tokyo session.

  • IM-1 Lunar Lander Mission
    IM-1 Lunar Lander Mission Intuitive Machines, LLC (“IM”) is seeking to launch and operate the NOVA-C Lunar Lander (“NOVA-C”) spacecraft for approximately 20 days in the 2025-2110 MHz and 2200-2290 MHz bands (the “IM-1 mission”). The IM-1 is part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (“CLPS”) program sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) to explore the surface of the Moon. The NOVA-C spacecraft will deliver several NASA and several commercial payloads to the lunar surface, including operations that will advance important U.S. commercial, government, and scientific interests. Spacecraft Description: The NOVA-C spacecraft is a 3-axis stabilized bus, with an approximate wet mass of 1908 kg, measuring 2.19 m x 2.385 m x 3.938 m. Three fixed body-mounted solar panels provide a maximum of 788 W of power, stored in Li-ion batteries, with a total energy capacity of 1554 Wh, and an unregulated 28 VDC bus voltage. Attitude determination and control is achieved with redundant inertial measurement units (“IMUs”), star trackers, and a dual- redundant cold-gas (pressurized helium) reaction control system (“RCS”). The spacecraft will be separated from the Falcon 9 launch vehicle via a RUAG zero-debris deployment system. Spectrum Usage: The NOVA-C spacecraft will transmit and receive using the licensed S-Band frequencies during the planned mission, including: (i) 2025-2110 MHz band (Earth-to-space); and (ii) 2200-2290 MHz band (space-to-Earth). All such operations will be appropriately coordinated with incumbent Federal users. Two commercial payloads on the spacecraft will communicate with NOVA-C during lunar surface operations via 802.11ac Wi-Fi frequencies in the 5.5-5.85 GHz band using off-the-shelf equipment.

  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation: the Practitioners' Perspectives
    71st International Astronautical Congress 2020 Paper ID: 61357 oral IAF BUSINESS INNOVATION SYMPOSIUM (E6) Entrepreneurship and Innovation: The Practitioners' Perspectives (1) Author: Mr. Pavlo Tanasyuk Spacebit Global Ltd, United Kingdom, [email protected] Mr. Charles Lauer Rocketplane Global, Inc., United States, [email protected] INVESTMENT AND MONETIZATION OF EARLY STAGE LUNAR SURFACE EXPLORATION MISSIONS Abstract NASA and its international space partners are moving ahead on plans to return to the Moon, based on the US Space Policy Directive 1 and the goal of accomplishing a new human landing in the South Polar region by 2024. International agency partners are signing up to contribute to the overall mission architecture and contribute elements and logistics support to the Lunar Gateway, which will provide an operations and transit base for lunar surface missions. As part of the lunar exploration policy, NASA has initiated the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program for robotic landing and surface exploration missions beginning in the second half of 2021 and continuing with several missions per year over the next seven year. The CLPS program is being implemented through innovative commercial partnerships with multiple companies buying the lunar landings as a service, similar to how NASA procures ISS cargo and crew flight services. The CLPS program has created a commercial marketplace worth almost $3 billion over the next 7 years, and has dramatically lowered the cost of getting to the lunar surface for commercial missions due to rideshare opportunities with the NASA CLPS contractors. Spacebit is planning a series of commercial lunar surface exploration missions using CLPS lander rideshare opportunities, beginning with the Astrobotic Peregrine first mission in the fall of 2021.
