SUMMARY:International Moon Day Telerobotics
DESCRIPTION:July 20\, 2023\n\n\n\nThe Moon Village (MVA) Analogues Working Group is organizing the second annual tele-robotics event for the International Moon Day using the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) Helelani planetary rover\, the Mission Control inc Husky Rover in Canada and as well as the Neurospace inc HiveR rover in Germany. The rovers will be available for tele-operations from multiple sites across the globe in order to promote international collaboration and cooperation. The event was previously held during IMD 2022 and was a big success. \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\nRegistration\n\n\n\n Schools 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 20\, 2023. \n\n\n\nRegistration CLOSED\n\n\n\nRovers\n\n\n\nHusky – Mission Control Space Services – Canada\n\n\n\nThe 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\n Mission Control Space Services Husky Rover (left) with Mission Control Software platform (right)\n\n\n\n\n\nHiveR rover – Neurospace – Germany\n\n\n\nNEUROSPACE is developing low-cost\, modular robotics systems through the use of a proprietary CubeSat-based standard for rovers. Basing the design of CubeSats will allow the use of cheap\, Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components\, already rated to work in extreme environments like the Moon.Founded by CEO Irene Selvanathan in 2020\, our team is excited to present our HiveR on International Moon Day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeurospace is hosting an IMD celebration at Rostock Laage Airport\, where the mock lunar testing trail is and the HiveR rovers will be located.  \n\n\n\n\nNEUROSPACE International Moon Day Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHELELANI Planetary Rover – Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) – USA \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\n\n\nHELELANI Planetary Rover testing on a Hawaiian Volcano

SUMMARY:1st Flight-LEAPFROG Lunar Lander Prototype
DESCRIPTION:First flight of LEAPFROG\, a University built lunar lander prototype vehicle to test landing technologies for lunar environment. The LEAPFROG vehicle is meant to fly at RC parks\, thus increasing awareness of lunar technology prototypes\, and thus increase outreach for encouraging STEM participation for both K-12 and adults. The vehicle flies by itself with a RC jet turbine engine\, takes off and lands autonomously\, and is flyable on RC fields. \n\n\n\nThe event will be livestreamed.

SUMMARY:United Moon Forum - USA
DESCRIPTION:Humans are already multi-continental\, now it’s time to expand our boundaries to other celestial bodies. After all\, we are born to explore! Additionally\, for benefits from collaborative and peaceful exploration and sustainability reasons\, we must expand beyond Earth. Moon is going to be our 1st bold step in this endless venture. \n\n\n\nInternational Moon Day i.e. 20 July marks the anniversary of the 1st Human landing on the lunar surface as a part of the Apollo 11 lunar mission back in the year 1969. This year we celebrate its 54th Anniversary as a part of the 2nd International Moon Day proposed by the Moon Village Association and officially approved by the UN General Assembly on 9th December 2021. The Human landing on the Moon has\, is\, and will continue to inspire generations to expand beyond our conventional boundaries. \n\n\n\nToday around half a century after the 1st moon landing\, many Space stakeholders (public and private alike) can send missions to the moon. To celebrate our New Lunar Journey\, LIFE-To & Beyond and SpaceCrew\, InnovaSpace jointly is organizing the “United Moon Forum” to celebrate the occasion on the 20th of July 2023 (Timing: 13:30- 15:45 GMT or 19:00- 21:15 IST).  \n\n\n\nThe purpose of the outreach event is to give a glance at the Past\, Present\, and Future of Lunar exploration. This will help spread the word amongst the people about the activities in the space sector about Lunar exploration globally. Alongside\, it will be instrumental in fostering discussion regarding the collaborative and peaceful exploration of our Moon as a common heritage of all of Humankind. \n\n\n\nThe event format includes a Series of lightning talks\, and a panel discussion hosted Online (on the Microsoft Teams Platform and also stream LIVE on the Life To and Beyond Youtube Channel) and Open to global participation. It’s a short yet significant step towards proactive and impactful outreach. We are optimistic about ‘inspiring the new generation to take up the baton of Human exploration from Earth to the Moon\, Mars\, and Beyond!’ \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcb_vw3fpjw\n\n\n\n\nFor more: https://www.lifetoandbeyond.org/united-moon-forum \n\n\n\nUnited_Moon_Forum_Brochure-1_compressedDownload
