SUMMARY:Astropolitik ve Hukuk Perspektifinden Ay Faaliyetleri (Lunar Activities from an Astropolitical and Legal Perspective))
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we will explore the significance of Moon Day and examine the astropolitical landscape surrounding lunar activities. We will then delve into recent legal developments\, focusing on the Initial Draft of the Set of Recommended Principles for Space Resource Activities\, presented by the Working Group on Legal Aspects of Space Resource Activities during the May 2025 session of the Legal Subcommittee. The perspectives of UNCOPUOS member states and observer organizations on this draft will be shared and discussed. Finally\, we will assess the relevance of these ongoing discussions—both political and legal—for Türkiye’s role in lunar exploration and governance.

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.

SUMMARY:Moon Through My Lens
DESCRIPTION:A single photograph has the power to capture a moment\, evoke emotions\, and tell a story that words alone cannot. On the occasion of International Moon Day (20 July 2026)\, Infinity Space Club (UPES Dehradun\, India)\, in collaboration with the Moon Village Association (MVA)\, invites photography enthusiasts\, storytellers\, and space lovers to participate in “Moon Through My Lens” – an online photography and storytelling competition that celebrates creativity through the beauty of our closest celestial neighbour. \nParticipants are invited to capture one original photograph of the Moon using any device of their choice\, whether a smartphone or a professional camera. Along with the photograph\, they must submit a short story inspired by the image. The story may be fiction or non-fiction\, reflecting the participant’s own thoughts\, memories\, emotions\, experiences\, or imagination inspired by the Moon. \nThe competition aims to encourage participants to look beyond the Moon as an astronomical object and explore the stories\, emotions\, and perspectives it inspires. By combining photography with creative writing\, this initiative seeks to foster a meaningful connection between science\, art\, and human expression while celebrating the universal fascination with Earth’s only natural satellite.
