SUMMARY:Mater Temporis: Lunar Manifestations of Terrestrial Art
DESCRIPTION:Mater Temporis: Lunar Manifestations of Terrestrial Art is an international online panel organised by Moon Village Centre Bulgaria. \nThe panel advances a central proposition: that the Moon is humanity’s primordial temporal regulator\, the origin of the calendar\, and the organiser of sacred time across civilisations. The drive to return to the Moon is not purely technological. Lunar art is the most honest expression of why humanity wants to go back. \nThe discussion moves across three registers: the deep cultural and mythological roots of lunar symbolism; the role of contemporary space art in articulating what exploration means beyond technical achievement; and the materialisation of this arc in artworks that have physically left Earth and entered orbit. \nJoin at: https://meet.jit.si/MaterTemporis2026(No registration needed) \nConfirmed panelists:Luis Bernardo Guzmán\, Radix Lucis Studio (UK)Christopher Cokinos\, Moon Village Association (USA)Remo Rapetti\, Moon Village Association (Italy)Anna Sitnikova\, Moon Gallery Foundation (Netherlands)Annick Bureaud\, Art critic and curator (France)Marcus Neustetter\, Artist and Space Art Practitioner (South Africa) \nModerated by Dr. Ivelina Kadiri\, Moon Village Centre Bulgaria

SUMMARY:Run a Lunar Mission Together: An Open-Source Hands-On Session at IAC 2026
DESCRIPTION:One Moon\, one vision\, one future.  \nJoin the LunCo team for a hands-on session on lunar surface operations\, held alongside the 77th International Astronautical Congress. We start with a live simulated landing at the lunar south pole\, a study model of a planned commercial lander-and-rover mission built from public data. Then it’s your turn: take the controls of a rover\, look inside how the lander and rover are modelled\, and plan a route across real lunar terrain data\, on your own laptop or together with a team. \nLunCoSim is an open-source (Apache-2.0) simulation environment for space mission engineering. It is currently in alpha\, and this session is built around your feedback. The last part of the evening is an open discussion: what you would need from a tool like this\, what you would leave out\, and what should come next. What we hear will shape what we build. \nProgramme (about 90 minutes):\nA live lunar landing\, and how the simulation is put together\nHands-on: drive\, explore and plan\, alone or in teams\nOpen feedback session: what you need\, what’s missing\, what should come next \nNo prior experience with LunCoSim or simulation software is needed. Students\, researchers\, engineers\, architects and educators are all welcome. Bring a laptop if you have one; if not\, you can join a team at a shared machine. Registered participants receive the download link and practical details before the session. \nLunCoSim is free to download\, runs on an ordinary laptop\, and needs no account or licence\, so you can keep using it afterwards.

SUMMARY:COAST: Commercial CisLunar Orbital Amateur Asstronaut Space Tourism
DESCRIPTION:Midterms in the Fall 2026 USC Astro Studio\nFall 2026 Topic Focus – COAST:  Commercial CisLunar Orbital Amateur Astronaut Space Tourism\nThe International Space Station is set for decommission at the end of this decade. The current US policy has a mandate to include Space Tourism in the facility manifest before retirement. The Artemis II mission has proven the capability of the SLS and Orion spacecraft to safely carry crew and return them safely back to Earth. And the advanced SLS evolution program\, the Commercial LEO Destinations and the Lunar Gateway program are all being revised and reconfigured to align with administration’s lunar return expediency mandate. NASA contracts\, not focused on expediency are being terminated or reassigned.\nThe USC graduate Astro Studio COAST project recommends a phased approach to permanent lunar development\, minimizing long term development and low Technological Readiness Level (TRL) elements in favor of flight certified and flight ready elements or those at high Operational Readiness Level (ORL).\nA Cislunar Cycler architecture has been proposed as a sturdy framework to support lunar logistics\, and celestial mechanics allows the International Space Station to be a prominent element this proposed COAST concept architecture.  It is possible for space tourists to visit the ISS\, and as celestial alignment occurs\, to depart and return from lunar orbit. Lunar surface activities can evolve from this open architecture providing ample time for lunar surface infrastructure elements to mature and be certified for human operations on the Moon.\nThis 21st century paradigm shift at NASA from one-off programs and projects like Apollo and ISS is what differentiates the permanent lunar return effort underway\, and this COAST project offers a catalyst architecture to set a sturdy foundation to accomplish this complex task

SUMMARY:Protecting Lunar Heritage: Developing Guidelines and Recommendations for Controlled Lunar Deorbiting
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the impact of the Soviet probe Luna 2\, the first artificial object to reach the Moon\, the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Aerospace Heritage proposes an event dedicated to the protection of lunar archaeological heritage\, with particular attention to the risks posed by the impacts of de-orbited satellites and rocket stages.\nThe Moon preserves the material remains of dozens of space missions conducted since 1959\, documenting humanity’s earliest interactions with another celestial body. Although the lunar environment has favoured their preservation\, these sites are becoming increasingly vulnerable due to natural weathering processes and the growing number of exploration and commercial activities.\nAs lunar traffic increases\, controlled crash landings of orbiters and rocket stages are becoming an increasingly attractive and potentially sustainable end-of-mission disposal strategy. However\, the degree to which such impacts can be effectively controlled remains uncertain\, as controlled lunar impacts have not yet been established as a sustained and consistently reliable practice. Moreover\, high-velocity regolith ejecta generated by these impacts may damage or contaminate lunar areas requiring particular protection. These include historical heritage sites associated with past lunar exploration and natural areas of special scientific or logistic significance\, including the polar regions (>75°N/S)\, which contain water-ice deposits of strategic importance; the equatorial zone\, which hosts a major concentration of near-side heritage and may support future launch infrastructure; the lunar maria\, which are of interest for both in-situ resource utilisation and radio-quiet astronomy; the South Pole–Aitken Basin\, which is of particular scientific interest for understanding the stratigraphy of the deep mantle  and contains the Chang’e 4 and Chang’e 6 sites of historical activity; and other scientifically significant formations\, such as lobate scarps\, lunar pits\, magnetic anomalies\, and Copernican-age craters. Impact ejecta may also threaten existing operational infrastructure\, including\, for example\, the Lunar Laser Ranging Retroreflectors.\nTo address these challenges\, the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Aerospace Heritage\, which is actively engaged in the study and protection of aerospace heritage\, is drafting guidelines and recommendations for controlled lunar crash landings. These are intended to provide expert technical advice to inform consensus-based decision-making within COPUOS and to support the future development of international standards and policies.\nThe event will introduce the Committee and its activities\, provide an overview of lunar heritage\, the threats to its preservation and the current legal framework\, and conclude with a presentation of the Committee’s ongoing work\, including preliminary recommendations for the safe management of controlled lunar crash landings. \nProtecting Lunar Heritage: Developing Guidelines and Recommendations for Controlled Lunar Deorbiting\nMonday\, 14 September 2026\, 14.00 – 16.00 (CEST) \n🇺🇸 Los Angeles – 5:00–7:00 AM; 🇺🇸 Denver – 6:00–8:00 AM; 🇺🇸 Chicago – 7:00–9:00 AM; 🇺🇸 New York – 8:00–10:00 AM; 🇧🇷 Brasília – 9:00–11:00 AM; 🇬🇧 London – 1:00–3:00 PM; 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 Paris / Berlin / Rome – 2:00–4:00 PM; 🇿🇦 Johannesburg – 2:00–4:00 PM; 🇹🇷 Istanbul – 3:00–5:00 PM; 🇦🇪 Dubai – 4:00–6:00 PM; 🇮🇳 New Delhi – 5:30–7:30 PM; 🇹🇭 Bangkok – 7:00–9:00 PM; 🇨🇳 Beijing – 8:00–10:00 PM; 🇸🇬 Singapore – 8:00–10:00 PM; 🇯🇵 Tokyo – 9:00–11:00 PM; 🇰🇷 Seoul – 9:00–11:00 PM; 🇦🇺 Sydney – 11:00 PM–1:00 AM (+1); 🇳🇿 Auckland – 1:00–3:00 AM (+1)

SUMMARY:Cultural Considerations WG & GEGSLA webinar - Choreographies of presence: Deconstructing the Lunar Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:Introduction by Christopher Cokinos“The Moon is not a fixed\, ahistorical entity awaiting discovery; it is a space in continuous becoming—a site of simultaneous\, intersecting trajectories that is never finished and never closed. This presentation draws centrally upon Doreen Massey’s reconceptualisation of space. In For Space (Massey\, 2005)\, she posits three foundational propositions: space is the product of interrelations; space is the sphere of the possibility of the existence ofmultiplicity (contemporaneous plurality); and space is always under construction… Human presence on the Moon is not merely an inscription upon a surface; it is a relational event that reconfigures the Moon’s ontological status. The “choreography” of this presence is not a script directed by a single author\, but an emergent property of multiple actors—robotic missions\, legal frameworks\, and artistic gestures—intersecting in a space that is continuously being made.” (Ulpia-Elena Botezatu) \n\n\n\nDr. Ulpia-Elena Botezatu holds a PhD in Engineering and an LL.M. in European & International Law\, bridging technical expertise with legal and policy acumen in space affairs. She is a Space Policy Officer at the Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) and serves as a Delegate to UN COPUOS\, ESA\, and EU COM. Her leadership roles include serving as theformer Chair of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee (STSc) of UN COPUOS (2024-2026) and as the current Co-Chair of the Action Team on Lunar Activities Consultation (ATLAC). Additionally\, she acts as the GEGSLA Implementation Support Officer for the Moon Village Association. Drawing on a background in poststructuralist urban studies\, Dr. Botezatu’s work focuses on the intersection of space technology and international law\, with a keen interest in the cultural\, ethical\, and spatial dimensions of humanity’s expansion into outer space. \n\n\n\nRegister on Zoom\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1gbWVMqaTO2x8-ytwHhjkA

SUMMARY:Farah Law School’s 4th Virtual Lecture Series-2nd Episode
DESCRIPTION:🚨ATTENTION:The future of space is NOT just written in orbit. It’s built from the ground up. \nWhen we think of the space sector\, we often focus on the established powers leading the charge. But as humanity moves toward a multiplanetary future\, true sustainability requires inclusive legal frameworks built by non-traditional voices and emerging nations.🛰️ \nIn partnership with International Moon Day\, Farah Law School presents an inspiring\, must-attend session in our Second Episode from the 4th Virtual Lecture Series: \n🌌 THEME: “Escalating The Moon Exploration Opportunities for Emerging Space Nations”🌌 SESSION TOPIC: Episode 2: “Governance from the Ground Up: The Bolivia Moon Agreement and Inclusive Lunar Frameworks” \nIndigenous communities in Bolivia produced a lunar governance framework “The Bolivia Moon Agreement”\, with no formal legal background\, drawing instead on their lived experience and governance failures in the Amazon\, and their diverse fields\, from ecology and medicine to business. It’s a living example of space governance built by non-traditional voices\, which speaks directly to the inclusivity your series champions. Plus\, it centers young people as the co-architects of the multiplanetary future they will inherit. \n🎤 SPEAKER: Dr. Lakshmi Karan\, Co-founder of LunArcDr. Lakshmi Karan is the co-founder of LunARC\, working to make space exploration inclusive and accessible. Her multiple careers span the technology\, philanthropy and social innovation sectors\, giving her a rare fluency in both technological and social systems.

SUMMARY:2026 Symposium on Humanity’s Lunar Future – in Celebration of International Moon Day
DESCRIPTION:Huntsville\, Alabama played a key role in NASA’s successful exploration of the Moon\, including the first human landing on the Moon in July 1969. This year\, some 57 years following that first landing\, astronauts returned: circling the Moon during an April 1-11 mission under the auspices of the Artemis program. Exciting plans and programs are now underway to continue the exploration and development of the Moon – including a permanent Moon Base in the lunar south polar region.  \nIn 2021\, the Moon Village Association (MVA) proposed to the United Nations (UN) the creation of a global annual commemoration of the Apollo 11 landing\, “International Moon Day” (IMD). In response\, a year later in 2022\, Drake State Community and Technical College in Huntsville organized and hosted the first highly-successful “Main Event” of the then newly-created IMD celebration.  \nThis year\, a Symposium on the topic of Humanity’s Lunar Future is being organized in Huntsville on 14 August 2026 as an International Moon Day “Global Event”\, supporting the overall theme of this year’s IMD: “To the Moon Together”. This IMD Global Event will engage thought-leaders\, engineers\, scientists and managers who are developing and accomplishing the vision of permanent lunar presence and activity. The symposium will provide an overview of the lunar opportunities\, plans and programs\, and will comprise participants from across academia\, industry\, government and non-government organizations.

SUMMARY:Frontier Business Consortium Symposium 2026
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.\nOver the past decade since its establishment\, lunar development has seen increasing activity driven by both public and private sector players. In Japan as well\, in addition to initiatives such as the Space Strategy Fund\, private-sector-led projects are rapidly accelerating.\nAgainst this backdrop of growing global momentum toward commercialization led by private actors\, this symposium will look back on the achievements and knowledge accumulated to date\, and explore the future vision for the next decade as the field transitions from conceptual planning to implementation and commercialization phases.\nWe warmly invite companies interested in new space-related business opportunities to participate in this symposium.
