SUMMARY:Frontier Business Consortium Symposium 2025
DESCRIPTION:Space development toward the moon\, Cis-Lunar\, and Mars is becoming increasingly active both domestically and internationally as a “future” market that is expected to develop in the medium to long term. In response to this situation\, Mitsubishi Research Institute\, Inc. and ispace\, Inc. launched the “Frontier Business Consortium” at the end of 2016 with the aim of playing a leading role without lagging behind the global trend. Currently\, about 50 companies from various industries\, from large companies to startups\, are participating. \nAs many companies\, including the member companies of this consortium\, reach the moon one after another\, it is becoming important to consider what to do after reaching the moon’s surface. We will hold a public symposium to inform a wide range of people\, including those involved in private companies\, governments\, and research institutions\, about the results of the Frontier Business Consortium’s activities to date and its future vision. \nWebsite: https://www.mri.co.jp/seminar/20250718.html

SUMMARY:Mezinárodní den Měsíce 2025 – Měsíc jako symbol poznání a velkých výzev
DESCRIPTION:ENGLISH TEXT BELOW\nMezinárodní den Měsíce (schválený organizací OSN) je každoroční událost\, která se koná pro širokou veřejnost a slaví se okolo 20. července. Na tento den totiž připadá výročí prvního přistání člověka na Měsíci\, které v roce 1969 uskutečnila posádka americké kosmické mise Apollo 11. Tento den je zároveň oslavou neutuchající fascinace lidstva Měsícem – naším nejbližším nebeským sousedem a symbolem objevů. Měsíc vždy vzbuzoval zvědavost a ambice\, od starověkých mýtů až po přistání v programu Apollo a budoucí lunární mise. S Hvězdárnou a planetáriem Brno můžete být opět u toho! \nPřednášky a následná panelová diskuse v sále velkého planetária (189 míst k sezení): \nMgr. Pavel GabzdylHvězdárna a planetárium BrnoHvězdáři bez Měsíce \nDnešní astronomové se Měsíci často vyhýbají – ruší pozorování a nezapadá do jejich výzkumných plánů. Přesto to byl právě Měsíc\, který po staletí utvářel naše poznání vesmíru. Od prvních pokusů změřit vzdálenosti ve vesmíru\, přes potvrzení Einsteinovy teorie relativity až po naděje spojené s budoucím výzkumem. Přednáška nabídne pohled na roli Měsíce v dějinách astronomie a výzkumu Sluneční soustavy. \nIng. Tomáš Přibylpopularizátor kosmonautikyNový malý krok \nPět z šesti obyvatel této planety se narodilo po roce 1969 a nezažilo tak legendární dobytí Měsíce Apollem 11. Nyní ale mají šanci být svědky zopakování této historické události\, protože návrat člověka na naši přirozenou družici se uskuteční ještě v této dekádě. Bude ale ve znamení vlajky americké\, nebo čínské? Jaký je „letový řád“ pilotovaných letů na Měsíc\, jak bude vypadat technika pro jejich realizaci\, kdo všechno je do přípravy „nového malého kroku“ zapojený? Mnoho otázek\, mnoho – často překvapivých – odpovědí. \nMgr. Petr Brož\, Ph.D.Geofyzikální ústav AV ČRMěsíc očima geologa \nCo všechno víme o vzniku a vývoji Měsíce? A jak to víme? Co nám prozradily vzorky\, které přivezli astronauti Apolla a některé sondy? Proč je přivrácená a odvrácená strana Měsíce tak rozdílná? Je dnes Měsíc geologicky mrtvým tělesem\, nebo se tam stále něco děje? A jaké další otázky ve výzkumu Měsíce zůstávají stále bez odpovědi a jak na ně najdeme odpovědi? Na to se společně podíváme v rámci povídání věnované geologii Měsíce! \nA pozor\, na závěr Mezinárodní dne Měsíce 2025 si promítneme fulldome projekci s názvem Vzhůru na Měsíc! (česky\, délka 26 minut). \n——————————- \nENGLISH\nInternational Moon Day (approved by the UN) is an annual event held for the general public and celebrated around July 20. This day marks the anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon\, which was carried out in 1969 by the crew of the American space mission Apollo 11. This day is also a celebration of humanity’s unceasing fascination with the Moon – our closest celestial neighbor and a symbol of discovery. The Moon has always aroused curiosity and ambition\, from ancient myths to the Apollo landings and future lunar missions. With the Brno Observatory and Planetarium\, you can be there again! \nLectures and subsequent panel discussion in the large planetarium hall (189 seats): \nMgr. Pavel GabzdylBrno Observatory and PlanetariumObservatories without the Moon \nToday’s astronomers often avoid the Moon – it interferes with observations and does not fit into their research plans. Yet it was the Moon that shaped our understanding of the universe for centuries. From the first attempts to measure distances in space\, through the confirmation of Einstein’s theory of relativity\, to the hopes associated with future research. The lecture will offer a look at the role of the Moon in the history of astronomy and research into the Solar System. \nIng. Tomáš Přibylpopularizer of space explorationA new small step \nFive out of six inhabitants of this planet were born after 1969 and did not experience the legendary conquest of the Moon by Apollo 11. But now they have the chance to witness a repetition of this historical event\, because the return of man to our natural satellite will take place later this decade. But will it be under the sign of the American or Chinese flag? What is the “flight schedule” of manned flights to the Moon\, what will the technology for their implementation look like\, who is involved in the preparation of the “new small step”? Many questions\, many – often surprising – answers. \nMgr. Petr Brož\, Ph.D.Institute of Geophysics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech RepublicThe Moon through the Eyes of a Geologist \nWhat do we know about the origin and evolution of the Moon? And how do we know it? What did the samples brought back by the Apollo astronauts and some probes reveal to us? Why are the near and far sides of the Moon so different? Is the Moon a geologically dead body today\, or is something still happening there? And what other questions in lunar research still remain unanswered and how can we find answers to them? We will look at this together as part of a talk dedicated to the geology of the Moon! \nAnd be careful\, at the end of International Moon Day 2025\, we will screen a fulldome projection called Up to the Moon! (in Czech\, duration 26 minutes).

SUMMARY:Adapting Lunar and Martian Soil for Plant Growth
DESCRIPTION:Transforming lunar and Martian soil for agriculture is essential for sustainable space exploration. Lunar regolith lacks organic matter and nitrogen\, while Martian soil contains toxic perchlorates. Key strategies include enriching soils with fertilizers\, removing toxins (e.g.\, washing perchlorates)\, and introducing microbes to enhance nutrient cycling. Hydroponics and genetic engineering may supplement traditional methods. Experiments with simulants show promise\, but challenges like low gravity\, radiation\, and soil structure remain. Overcoming these barriers could enable future colonies to grow crops\, reducing reliance on Earth. Research continues to optimize plant growth in extraterrestrial environments. To this end\, Sichuan University will organize in-person talks on this topic.

SUMMARY:100 Years from the Moon Landing to a Cislunar City
DESCRIPTION:International Moon Day is an opportunity to recognize the central role the Moon has played and continues to play in the history of space exploration. A symbol of cosmic proximity and technological challenge\, the Moon has represented a point of reference for humanity for millennia. Today\, between the memory of historic landings and ambitious future plans\, this anniversary renews the scientific community’s commitment to a new era of lunar exploration. As in 1969\, every extraordinary journey begins with a simple step. \nTen years ago in July\, the Center for Near Space of the Italian Institute for the Future was founded with the aim of spreading Space Culture\, supporting the development of Civil Astronautics\, and fostering the growth of the Private User Community. The launch of conceptual studies of orbital architecture with its OrbiTecture team soon evolved into the pioneering studies of the Cislunar City\, in the belief that the scientific enterprise of space exploration is rapidly evolving toward a permanent human presence in space. \nOn this basis and with these elements\, the session “100 YEARS FROM THE MOON LANDING TO A CISLUNAR CITY” aims\, on the one hand\, to celebrate man’s first step on the moon as humanity’s first step off Earth\, and on the other\, to project forward a century later\, when the stable existence of a community of approximately 1\,000 people in a dozen “neighborhoods” located between low Earth orbit and the Moon\, both orbit and surface\, will be possible and probable.The prospect of the emergence of the Cislunar City and its long-term configuration as a coordinated community\, not subordinated to terrestrial power centers\, requires a radical rethinking of the legal paradigm applicable to it. The purely geocentric perspective that informs the spirit of current regulations is proving increasingly inadequate to meet the needs of an autonomous\, stable\, and structured community in space. It is therefore appropriate\, if not necessary\, to establish a normative paradigm that goes beyond the limits of traditional international law to develop a space law for space\, conceived in light of the environmental\, social\, and operational specificities of the cislunar context.
