About the MV-PESC Project
The Moon Village – Participation of Emerging Space Countries (MV-PESC) Project is a core initiative of the Moon Village Association designed to make the Moon a truly international destination. While lunar missions are rapidly increasing worldwide, many countries and communities remain outside this movement. The goal of the team is to define and implement a Roadmap for lunar activities to be conducted in the country The MV-PESC Project provides mentorship and structured support for teams from emerging space countries to identify opportunities for engagement in lunar exploration. These opportunities can be scientific, engineering, commercial or cultural.
Through this program, participating teams work with international mentors to outline national lunar strategies, assess capabilities and develop plans for participation in the Moon Village. The project strengthens global cooperation and expands access to space activities, aligning with the vision of a diverse, inclusive and peaceful Moon Village.
