SUMMARY:Introductory Class: Understanding Legalese in the 1979 Moon Agreement (A Way to Broaden Public Awareness)
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\nLegal English\, or legalese\, plays a significant role for practitioners in comprehending international instruments such as treaties\, agreements\, decisions\, etcetera. This is not limited to human activities on Earth but also in outer space\, including lunar exploration and exploitation. Therefore\, understanding the significant impact of legalese\, we address our second topic to familiarize students and professionals with one of the international space law instruments\, the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (1979)\, or the Moon Agreement. \n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReport\n\n\n\nPost-Event Report Farah Law School 2Download\n\n\n\nScope\n\n\n\nFarah Law School will continue participating in the International Moon Day Celebration by enhancing people’s awareness of the space sector\, especially in the law and moon fields. The event will be held online via Zoom Meeting on July 18\, 2024. It encompasses: \n\n\n\n1. What is legalese\, and why is it important?;2. How this class will contribute to public awareness of space activities\, especially on the moon;3. Introductory Class of the Legalese in the 1979 Moon Agreement;4.

SUMMARY:International Moon Day Tele-Robotics 2024
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations approved the creation of the International Moon Day (IMD) as an annual educational\, cultural and scientific event. The International Moon Day is to be observed annually on 20 July to raise awareness among the public and generate support for sustainable Moon Exploration and Utilization. The International Moon Day encourages and promotes events around the globe on 20 July\, including community panel discussion\, lectures\, webinar\, concerts exhibits and screening of educational videos. \n\n\n\nThe Moon Village Exploration Analogues (MVA) Working Group provides a forum for identifying and coordinating activities related to terrestrial analogues for the Moon Village. It also addresses the associated topic of the use of the Moon as an analogue/testbed for future exploration of Mars and other destinations. This Working Group will support the creation of Analogue test sites around the world as a tool to contribute to capacity building in space developing countries and in general as outreach to the public. \n\n\n\nIn order to support the International Moon Day (IMD) and demonstrate the leadership of the MVA\, the Moon Village Exploration Analogues (MVA) Working Group is organizing an International Moon Day Tele-Robotics event for schools and universities. In this event groups of up to 4 students from each institution can tele-operate a lunar rover prototype in Canada or Hawai’i\, USA from any location around the world. \n\n\n\nThere are 5 groups that have graciously agreed to provide a robot and tele-operations software for the International Moon Day event on July 19 & 20\, 2024. \n\n\n\nPartners\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nSchools and Universities are invited to sign up below for a tele-robotics experience. Groups of 4 students can be accommodated in each time slot. The sessions are limited to one slot per institution and the reservations are on a “first come – first served” basis. In order to make sure that people from all over the world get the chance to participate\, reservations exceeding 2 per country\, will go on a waitlist. \n\n\n\nPlease sign up soon to avoid disappointment! Upon acceptance\, the Moon Village Association will send further instructions for logistics and software preparation to tele-operate a robot on July 19-20\, 2024!Registration is now Closed \n\n\n\nNeuroSpace HiveR Rover \n\n\n\nIntroducing HiveR\, the future of moon exploration.
