SUMMARY:Governance of Global Moon Exploration and Settlement Episode 3 - Sharing the Benefits of Lunar Activities
DESCRIPTION:Both the United States and China have revealed their plans to return people to the Moon in the near future. Many other countries\, as well as private companies\, will partner with the U.S. and China in these endeavors. As these missions move forward\, the risk for interference or conflict arising from competition for sunlight\, ice\, and land will grow. In order to reduce this risk\, a set of basic ground rules must be implemented. NASA has begun the process of establishing these rules among its partners in the Artemis Project through a series of bilateral agreements. But the Artemis Accords are aimed to Artemis partners only. The Moon Village Association’s Best Practices for Sustainable Lunar Activity fill this gap by providing a process for developing multilateral ground rules for all countries that are heading to the Moon. The Principles were issued last March by MVA and can be seen at: https://moonvillageassociation.org/moon-village-principles-mvp-issue-2-draft-public-consultation-opens/. \nAmong the many legal issues that need clarification is the extent to which space faring countries are obligated to share the benefits of their Moon missions. The sharing of benefits is a fundamental principle of law that is enshrined in the very first article of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty: \n“The exploration and use of outer space\, including the Moon and other celestial bodies\, shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries\, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development\, and shall be the province of all mankind. “ \nBut what exactly does this article mean? What types of benefits are to be shared? And how?  \nThe second principle in the current draft of the Best Practices for Sustainable Lunar Activity attempts to elaborate on the duty to share benefits by encouraging all space actors to: \n“Conduct lunar activities in a manner that takes into account the interests of other actors and benefits all countries and humankind. Both governmental and nongovernmental actors involved in lunar activities should provide for benefit-sharing through all feasible means\, including for example the promotion of the participation in lunar activities by all countries\, and\, in particular\, developing countries. “ \nThis webinar will take up this critical issue with the intent of acquiring a better understanding of the meaning and practical impact of the requirement to share benefits according to Best Practices Principles. The panelists will discuss why developing countries should support the adoption of the Best Practices to implement concrete measure on benefit sharing for the upcoming lunar missions. \nRegister to participate in the webinar:  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/governance-of-global-moon-exploration-and-settlement-episode-3-tickets-119060935463 \nor watch live on the MVA Facebook Page. \nThe admission in the webinar will be on a first come first served basis. \n  \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nMr. Ian Christensen\, Director of Private Sector Programs\, Secure World Foundation\nMs. Fadahunsi-banjo Motolani\, Chief Legal Officer at National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)\, the Nigerian Outer Space Agency\nMs. Loreto Moraga\, Director Moon Project Committee Coordinator\, Chilean Space Association (ACHIDE)\nDr. Giuseppe Reibaldi\, President\, Moon Village Association \nProf. Mark J.

SUMMARY:Webinar – MVA Architectural Concepts Working Group
DESCRIPTION:The world is going to the Moon together. Over the coming 6-7 years\, dozens of cubesats\, orbiters\, landers\, rovers and sample returns from up to a dozen countries will be heading to the Moon. The primary focus will be on the science\, exploration and on prospects for development of the Moon – with a clear emphasis on the lunar south pole\, where large-scale deposits of water ice and other volatile materials are believed to exist. \nNumerous space agencies worldwide are now sponsoring projects – including NASA\, CNSA\, JAXA\, ESA\, RSA\, ISRO and others – which will lead during this decade to humanity’s return to our Moon. \nThe Moon Village Association (MVA)\, a non-governmental organization (NGO) formed in Vienna to advance the goal of a global Moon Village (MV)\, through its MV Architectural Concepts and Considerations Working Group (MV Architecture WG) is during 2020-2021 conducting a focused ‘case study’ examining the ambitious goal of establishing a biologically self-sufficient settlement on the Moon by 2045. Topics include: siting for such a settlement (considering current plans)\, key ‘building blocks’ that would comprise such as settlement\, interoperability\, and more. \nProgram \nThe event will be held during 16:00-17:30 CEST on 14 September 2020 (Monday in Europe). It is being organized as a ‘workshop-webinar’: about 50% of the planned 1.5-hour discussion will be dedicated to presentation of the current MV Architecture WG Lunar Settlement Case Study; co-Chair of the WG\, John C. Mankins will present. \nRegister to participate in the webinar:  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/mva-architectural-concepts-working-group-webinar-tickets-119257371007 \nor watch live on the MVA Facebook Page. \nThe admission in the webinar will be on a first come first served basis. \nClosing \nHumanity is going to the Moon; you have the opportunity to join this endeavor and to contribute now to developments that will play out during the remainder of this Century. Please join this working discussion\, and to consider joining the Case Study team is it continues efforts to define the first lunar Settlement over the coming year. \nThis event will be one step in the ongoing Case Study\, with additional events being held later this year and next; the details of this plan forward will be discussed at the meeting.
