GEGSLA Working Group 2: Lunar Technical Coordination

GEGSLA Working Group 2:
Lunar Technical Coordination

The Lunar Technical Coordination Working Group (WG 2) is a vital component of the GEGSLA Operational Phase, focusing on coordinating technical standards, protocols, and best practices to ensure safe and efficient lunar activities. WG 2 serves as a platform for facilitating the exchange of information among organizations engaged in lunar surface missions or planning them. This group plays a key role in communicating the GEGSLA Recommended Framework to the lunar stakeholder community and receiving feedback, especially for chapters 5, 6, and 7. Furthermore, WG 2 is dedicated to identifying and prioritizing the essential best practices that ensure safe lunar activities while safeguarding the lunar environment. The group also strives to promote the implementation of these best practices among organizations operating on the lunar surface. Lastly, WG 2 aims to foster compatibility and interoperability by coordinating technical standards in support of its overarching objectives.
