SUMMARY:To the Moon & Beyond: Kingston’s Solar System Walk
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate International Moon Day with a unique\, family-friendly experience in the heart of Kingston. \nThe  Solar System Walk is a free\, self-guided trail that transforms Fairfield Recreation Ground in Kingston into a scaled model of our solar system—guiding you from the Sun\, past the planets\, and Earth’s Moon. \nRunning from 20 July – 30 September 2026\, this interactive walk lets you experience the vast distances of space on foot. Along the route\, discover fascinating facts about each planet and explore the story of our Moon—from the Apollo landings to today’s renewed era of exploration. \nFollowing the successful Artemis II mission\, which sent astronauts around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years\, humanity is now closer than ever to returning to the lunar surface. This trail offers a chance to reflect on that journey and be inspired by what comes next. \nPerfect for families\, curious minds\, and summer explorers\, the trail invites you to: \nWalk a scaled journey through the solar system\nDiscover the science and story of Earth’s Moon\nCelebrate a new chapter in lunar exploration\nExplore Kingston in a fun and engaging new way \nStart anywhere\, follow at your own pace\, and take your own giant leap towards the Moon.

SUMMARY:A talk with Astronaut Dorin Prunariu
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to an upcoming talk at Kingston Museum with Astronaut Dorin Prunariu to celebrate International Moon Day. Prunariu will be joining us virtually to discuss “Humanity’s Return to the Moon” with an opportunity for the audience to participate in a questions and answers session afterwards. Whilst this is a free event\, space is limited so make sure to reserve a place. \nLocation: Kingston Museum\nDate: 17th September\nTime: 6:30PM-7:15PM\nAdmission: FREE \nDorin Prunariu: https://internationalmoonday.org/team/dumitru-dorin-prunariu/  \nFewer than 800 people in history have been to space. Dorin Prunariu is one of them. \nIn 1981\, Prunariu set off aboard Soyuz 40\, spending eight days aboard the Salyut 6 space station\, the kind of experience almost nobody on Earth can speak of firsthand. \nSince his flight\, Prunariu has gone on to help shape how the world thinks about space. He is Chair of the UN’s Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space\, President of the Association of Space Explorers\, and now Co-Chair of International Moon Day.

SUMMARY:Run a Lunar Mission Together: An Open-Source Hands-On Session at IAC 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join the LunCo team for a hands-on lunar surface operations session held alongside the 77th International Astronautical Congress. Participants take on roles in a cooperative mission near Shackleton crater — driving rovers\, managing power and communications\, coordinating with a lander — inside a single shared scene running live on the laptops in the room. \nThe software is LunCoSim\, an open-source (Apache-2.0) simulation environment for space mission engineering. It is free to download\, runs on an ordinary laptop\, and needs no account or licence — so everyone who takes part can keep using it afterwards\, at their university\, in their research group\, or on their own. \nProgramme (90 minutes): \nA short introduction to the simulator — 10 minutes\nThe group mission: cooperative lunar surface operations\, roles assigned on the spot — 45 minutes\nOpen debrief: what worked\, what didn’t\, and what open lunar tooling still needs — 15 minutes \nNo prior experience with LunCoSim\, or with simulation software in general\, is required. Students\, researchers\, engineers\, architects and educators are all welcome. Bring a laptop if you have one.. \nFree to attend. Registration and updates via the event link. \nThis session is organised independently by LunCo and is not part of the official IAC programme. The exact venue  in Belek is confirmed one week in advance and shared with everyone who has registered.
