SUMMARY:[USA - Canada] International Moon Day Tele - Robotics
DESCRIPTION:July 20\, Online\n\n\n\nThe 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 (https://moonvillageassociation.org/technical-activities/exploration-analogues/  ) 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\nPartners\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTRATION CLOSED\n\n\n\nThere are two groups that have graciously agreed to provide a robot and tele-operations software for the International Moon Day event on July 20\, 2022: \n\n\n\nMission Control Space Services  https://www.missioncontrolspaceservices.com/software/platform/ \n\n\n\n (Canada) The Mission Control Software platform empowers mission controllers working in distributed teams to command and monitor remote assets in space and on Earth. \n\n\n\nThe Mission Control Software platform is the operations powerhouse of Mission Control’s end-to-end solution. When combined with one or more of our applications\, the solution provides core mission functions such as: \n\n\n\n\nCommand\, control\, guidance\, and navigation of spacecraft\, planetary rovers\, surface and orbital robots\, payloads\, guidance and robotic systems\n\n\n\nAI-based data processing of payloads and imagery\n\n\n\nInterfaces with common space software frameworks and protocols\, such as CCSDS\, NASA cFS\, Cubesat\, and others\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFigure 1. Mission Control Space Services Husky Rover (left) with Mission Control Software platform (right)\n\n\n\n\n\nPacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES)  https://pacificspacecenter.com/ \n\n\n\n  (Hawaii\, USA) in collaboration with  the International Moonbase Alliance https://moonbasealliance.com/  (Hawaii\, USA) and Hawai’i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS)\, (https://www.hi-seas.org/  )\, which is a Mars and Moon exploration analog research station.. The International MoonBase Alliance (IMA) is an association comprised of leading scientists\, educators\, and entrepreneurs from space agencies and industries worldwide to advance the development and implementation of an international base on the Moon. \n\n\n\nPISCES will provide the use of the HELELANI PLANETARY ROVER as a mobile testing platform for tele-robotic software and hardware systems. Named “Helelani” (Heavenly Travels)\, this 700-pound (318 kg) rover is outfitted with a suite of instruments and camera systems that can be controlled remotely via a handheld radio controller or through an internet connection from anywhere in the world. Helelani’s hardware and software systems are continually developed and refined. \n\n\n\nFigure 2. HELELANI Planetary Rover testing on a Hawaiian Volcano\n\n\n\nThe Moon Village Analogue (MVA) Working Group is organizing a tele-robotics event for the International Moon Day using the Helelani planetary rover. Each rover will be available for tele-operations from multiple sites across the globe in order to promote international collaboration and cooperation. \n\n\n\nTele-operations Schedule:\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 hourly time slot. The sessions are limited to one hour per institution and the reservations are on a “first come – first served” basis. Please sign up soon to avoid disappointment! \n\n\n\nUpon acceptance\, the Moon Village Association will send further instructions for logistics and software preparation to tele-operate a robot on July 20. 2022. \n\n\n\nResults\n\n\n\nParticipating teams \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto during a Mission Control session: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto during a PISCES/IMA session: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInternational-Moon-Day-Tele-Robotics-v2-RPM

SUMMARY:[Jordan]Jordan Space Research Initiative: Sustainable Development Goals and the Moon Village
DESCRIPTION:July 20\, Online\n\n\n\nThis event will highlight the research goals of Jordan Space Research Initiative (JSRI) \, which were largely d eveloped during theMVA Participation of Emerging Countries program\, and how these goals for establishing the Moon Village can also contribute to sustainable development on Earth.JSRI’s explicit goal is to bridge sustainable development with space exploration\, showing that it can have benefits for life on Earth. This is especially important for emerging space countries like Jordan\, which have limited natural and financial resources to contribute to lunar exploration. It is essential to highlight these synergies in order to ensure that emerging countries play a role in establishing the Moon Village. \n\n\n\nWatch on Youtube

SUMMARY:[USA] Chesley Bonestell and the Moon
DESCRIPTION:“A Lunar Landscape” (1957) painted by Chesley Bonestell\n\n\n\nJuly 17\, Online\n\n\n\nChesley Bonestell (1888-1986) is the man who got us to the Moon\, not with technology but with a paintbrush!  His amazing paintings and extraordinary life are chronicled in the award-winning documentary film: Chesley Bonestell: A Brush With The Future. \n\n\n\nFIRST:  Watch the Trailer here: https://www.chesleybonestell.com/trailer.html \n\n\n\nNEXT: Stream the documentary (there may be a nominal charge):  \n\n\n\nhttps://www.chesleybonestell.com/streaming-vod.html \n\n\n\nTHEN:  Join a special International Moon Day webinar discussion about the film with Producer/Writer/Director Douglass M. Stewart\, Jr. and Co-Producer Ron Miller.   \n\n\n\nThis event will happen on Zoom on July 17\, 2022. Time 1:00 PM PDT / 4:00PM EDT  \n\n\n\nZoom registration link:https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bXxO3rdcRBWRvq94Vacwuw \n\n\n\nYoutube stream: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Chesley Bonestell photographed by Robert E. David\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Film\n\n\n\nThe classic space artist\, Chesley Bonestell\, born in San Francisco in 1888\, had a special relationship with the Moon. It was the subject of some of his first published space art back in the 1940s and continued to figure in his art until his death in 1986. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to scores of paintings for nationally published magazines such as Life\, Bonestell contributed to books such as  The Conquest of Space\, Man and the Moon\, Rocket to the Moon\, Across The Space Frontier  and Conquest of the Moon. The latter was a spin-off of a series of articles on the future of space exploration created by Wernher von Braun and a team of experts for the popular magazine\, Collier’s. Its elaborate vision of a lunar expedition and lunar base—illustrated by Bonestell—has been widely credited with spurring the development of America’s fledgling space program. Bonestell’s contribution to immensely popular movies such as Destination Moon (1950) and the effect they had on the public perception of space travel cannot be discounted\, either. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBonestell was also almost single-handedly responsible for the popular impression of the Moon as being dominated by craggy\, Alpine-like peaks. While proven mistaken by the astronauts of the Apollo program\, there is a viable argument to made that Bonestell knew exactly what he was doing and had it not been for his dramatic renderings of the lunar landscape public enthusiasm and support for the exploration of the Moon would have been far less. \n\n\n\nBonestell’s artwork was ubiquitous throughout the 1940s and 1950s. It not only appeared everywhere\, from books and magazines to television and movies\, it influenced hundreds of other illustrators who spread the Bonestellian vision of the Moon and future spaceflight. His work even had a profound effect on the depiction of the Moon in Stanley Kubrick’s futuristic epic\, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). \n\n\n\n“Theophilus” (1944) by Chesley Bonestell\n\n\n\nThe award-winning film\, Chesley Bonestell: A Brush With the Future\, is the first-ever documentary about the “Father of Space Art.” It includes interviews with those who knew Mr. Bonestell or were influenced by his art. Featured in this film is rare commentary by author Ray Bradbury and Douglas Trumbull  (photographic effects supervisor for 2001\, A Space Odyssey) who explain how this extraordinary artist popularized the idea of traveling to the Moon\, exploring and colonizing it. Bonestell\, through his art\, helped lay the groundwork for not only our modern space program but for both public and official support and interest in exploring the Moon. Now\, with the Artemis program poised to return humanity to the Moon\, we can be grateful for the inspiration of a gentle artist whose extraordinary vision took us there decades ago. \n\n\n\nFor more information about Chesley Bonestell and this first-ever documentary on the “Father of Space Art” please visit the film’s website: \n\n\n\nwww.chesleybonestell.com \n\n\n\nBonestell paintings courtesy Bonestell LLC.   “A Lunar Landscape” courtesy Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

SUMMARY:[Philippines] Lunar Exploration: Expectations & Reality
DESCRIPTION:July 17\, Online\n\n\n\nDetails: \n\n\n\n17 July 2022\, 19:00 PST (UTC+8) Online lecture\, and panel discussion Open to the public via Facebook live Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes – 2 hours  \n\n\n\n\nManilla Street Astronomers Facebook Page\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe MSA will be conducting a lecture and panel discussion on the evening of July 17\, to discuss the significance of returning to the Moon\, and the current efforts relating to this such as the Artemis missions. The lecture will be conducted by MSA Founder – Gary Andreassen. Joining him in the panel discussion are representatives from the space sector in the Philippines.  \n\n\n\nThe targeted panel are representatives from the following:  \n\n\n\n\nSpace Generation Advisory Council (confirmed) \n\n\n\nStudents for the Exploration and Development of Space – Philippines (TBA) \n\n\n\nMoon Village Association (TBA) \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis events focus will on why it is necessary to explore and return to the Moon\, especially given that many individuals continue to point to the problems on Earth when discussing space exploration. Concerns by the public regarding its relevance can be addressed by properly communicating the necessity for continued exploration and study\, as well as the benefits from doing so. The current efforts as well as the direct and indirect benefits should also be communicated to increase awareness and understanding. In accordance to the 2022 theme Lunar Exploration Coordination and Sustainability\, the panel discussion brings together members of the space community in the Philippines. This will also help promote their respective organizations\, as well as provide an avenue for the exchange of ideas and concerns from their perspective as members of the space community. The panelist tapped are also from the youth and young adult demographic in order to inspire the next generation of space leaders in the country. The Philippines\, having only established a space agency in the recent years\, is fairly young and therefore would benefit from the growth of young professionals in the related STEM areas. Future involvement of Filipinos in efforts for lunar exploration can also offer political prestige\, and economic stimulus\, while contributing to the pursuit of scientific goals. \n\n\n\nWatch the recording\n\n\n\n\nRecording on facebook
