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.

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. \nThe Principles were issued last March by MVA and following 6 months of public consultation\, including several webinars\, will be presented in its present form. \nThis webinar will be the last of the Governance episodes and will present the proposed way forward to implement the Best Practices\, in the short and medium to long term as well as provide a sneak preview of the 1st Online Global Moon Village and Workshop\, 9-10 November where some announcement are expected. \nThe panelists will discuss: \n\nBest Practices for sustainable lunar activities\, updated version\nImplementation strategy:\n\nIn the short term\, as this will reduce the risk of involuntary accidents and harmful interference\, increase confidence building\, promote peaceful cooperation\, and ensure that lunar activities are conducted in a sustainable manner.\nIn the medium to long term\, the importance of COPUOS will be discussed\, to increase the consensus to the Best Practices\, with specific reference to the developing countries.\n\n\nPreliminary Programme of the 1st Online Global Moon Village Workshop & Symposium\n\nRegister on Eventbrite to participate in the webinar: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/governance-of-global-moon-exploration-and-settlement-episode-4-tickets-124546839951 \n or 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\nNiklas Hedman – Chief Committee\, Policy and Legal Affairs Section\, Office for Outer Space Affairs United Nations Office\, Vienna\nGeorge A.

SUMMARY:Addressing Capacity Building - Facilitating engagement in the Moon Village
DESCRIPTION:The vision of the Moon Village Association is to engage space stakeholders\, and most importantly non-space “actors” to implement the Moon Village. International cooperation is key in achieving this\, and furthermore engaging countries that are not the usual players in the field is important. The workforce of the near future needs to be nurtured via a wide grassroots effort. \nThe Moon Village Association has recently implemented their Program for Emerging Space Countries (PESC) which has stimulated interest from around the world. The interested parties\, agencies and entities from these emerging countries will require an educational program\, as well as a technical training program at all the levels – from schools\, to universities\, to industry. \nThe established industry from leading space faring nations will also require their future workforce to possess multi-discipline diverse skills in order to undertake the bold goals of returning to the Moon and creating the first off-world base of humanity on a celestial body other than our planet Earth. \nAll the above need synergies between key players: \n\nThe Moon Village Association\, as the institutional platform connecting multi-stakeholders for implementing the Moon Village\, utilizing its own PESC program.\nThe Space Generation Advisory Council\, as the international community of all youth that has gone out of their way to engage their interest in a career in space exploration.\nThe Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation\, as the stakeholder with a worldwide network of educational and training material\, and a global audience reaching over 1 million people in CSEO’s dissemination of outreach\, education and capacity building.\nThe United Nation Office for Outer Space Affairs\, the global official institutional body that drives international efforts for regulating and uniting that nations of our planet in a common goal of peaceful exploration of space beyond our cradle Earth.\n\nAbove key players are brought together in this unique webinar that seeks to answer and or identify the needs of capacity building for space and lunar exploration. \n  \nRegister on Eventbrite to participate in the webinar or watch live on the MVA Facebook Page and CSEO Facebook Page. \nThe admission in the webinar will be on a first come first served basis. \n  \n\n\nParticipants: \nParticipants: \n\nJorge Del Rio Vera: Office for Outer Space Affairs United Nations Office\, Vienna\nAntonino Salmeri\, Space Generation Advisory Council\nGhanim Alotaibi\, PESC Project\, Moon Village Association\nGeorge A Danos\, Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation (CSEO)\nGiuseppe Reibaldi\, Moon Village Association \n\nModerator: \nMaria Lavithi\, Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation (CSEO) \nProgram \n\n4:30 – 4:40 pm: Introduction – George A Danos and Giuseppe Reibaldi\n4:40 – 4:50 pm: SGAC – The scientists and engineers of the future\n4:50 – 5:00 pm: UNOOSA – Connecting established and emerging space-faring nations: Access to Space for All\n5:00 – 5:10 pm: PESC – Preparing Emerging Countries for the Moon Village\n5:10 – 5:20 pm: CSEO – Capacity Building and the future lunar workforce\n5:20 – 5:55 pm: Round table discussion – Moderator CSEO\n5:55 – 6:00 pm: Conclusion

SUMMARY:MVA PAYLOAD - The Overview Effect
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear perspectives of the MVA payload project goals from leaders in their fields! \nWhen humans first set off for the Moon with the Apollo program\, and in particular the Apollo 8 mission\, they were profoundly moved by what they saw. \nThey’d been further than any human in the history of our planet and were approaching a new world – but it was what they left behind that really changed their perspective. From a distance\, they saw our home – spaceship Earth – “hanging in the void”. \nThis was the first time someone had described the term the “Overview Effect” – a cognitive state of awareness only acquired when being so far away from the Earth itself\, that one becomes overwhelmed by its beauty\, fragility and loneliness in the darkness of space. When you’re far enough from home\, you really get a sense of appreciating it. \nBut not everyone has the same experience of the Overview Effect. For some\, it brought fear and overwhelming feelings of alienation and isolation.  \nWe’re very excited to be collaborating with the Moon Village Association\, to bring together a range of speakers to talk about the wonders of the Overview Effect.  \nSpeakers \n\nLiza Koumi- Moon Village Payloads Project Manager\, Space projects engineer\, and International Space University Alumni\nPhilippe Van Nedervelde- Award winning VR creator\, Advocate for Spaceflight and Futurist.\nAlice Gorman a.k.a Dr Space Junk -Space Archaeologist\, Heritage consultant and Board member of the Space Industry Assocation of Australia and Space4women.\nCarley Scott- CEO of Equitorial Launch Australia- Australia’s Spaceport at 12 Degrees\, Board of Space Industry Association of Australia and CSIRO’s Advanced Manufacturing Academy. .\nVienna Tran\, Moderator of the event\,Space medicine researcher and Writer with Space Australia.\nDr Sarah Jane Pell – Analogue astronaut \, Award winning Artist\, Researcher.\n\nThursday the 29th of October AEST 6:00pm (UTC+11) \, 8:00am CET \nTo register: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/mva-payload-the-overview-effect-tickets-124812009079

SUMMARY:Lunar Commerce & Economics WG Webinar - Commercial potential of the Moon – why and how?
DESCRIPTION:Humankind is going back to the Moon – both via robotic and crewed missions. Indeed\, it is hoped that now\, over a half century since the Apollo landings\, this time the intention will be to stay. Various architectures are being proposed which address the technical challenges of providing an environment for the future occupants of the facilities on and below the lunar surface. Also\, a great deal of work is taking place to establish the legal and regulatory basis for such a future habitation and working base. But how will the financial resources become available to make this future possible\, and how can a truly commercial set of enterprises on the lunar surface function to provide revenues\, creating the next\, permanent\, phase of lunar development? \n\n\n\nThis webinar will provide an insight into how the Moon Village Association (MVA) is tackling these questions\, by the creation of a Working Group on Lunar Commerce and Economics (LCE)\, which is working to produce a “Lunar Commerce Portfolio”. This will be created from the best available international data\, and will become a reference source for the planning community – in space agencies\, in the series of commercial entities contributing to these activities\, and to the venture capital and insurance sectors underwriting the entrepreneurial companies taking these first commercial steps. The webinar will provide you with an early insight into this important new work\, and the form in which it is being developed. The future on the Moon will have to be largely a result of commercial developments. \n\n\n\nCheck out the webinar to get an advanced insight into the nature of the businesses that will be involved\, both space and non-space alike\, and how we will be driving toward understanding the opportunities our Moon may present us. \n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nTBA \n\n\n\nAgenda: \n\n\n\nIntroduction to the MVA – Giuseppe Reibaldi (5 min)What is the Lunar Commerce and Economics working group? – Derek Webber (10 min )Why the Lunar Commerce Portfolio is needed?
