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: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.

The Husky Satellite Lab is providing students with the opportunity to collaborate with industry mentors\, developing bleeding-edge technology\, and partaking in one of the grandest engineering challenges of a Lunar mission that is planned to launch in the 2030s. Ultimately\, one of the primary goals of the Husky Satellite Lab is to empower interplanetary exploration on a CubeSat level.Currently\, HSL is working on HuskySat-2 (HS-2)\, a 3U Low Earth Orbiter meant to investigate the performance of our in-house and open-source Star Tracker and Horizon Tracker systems nicknamed LOST  (Lost Open-source Star Tracker) & FOUND (FOund Universal Orbital Navigation Determiner). The objective of HS-2 is to eliminate reliance on GPS or other external infrastructures for orbital navigation. With a successful demonstration of LOST & FOUND\, the HSL hopes to further enhance interplanetary exploration capabilities of future CubeSats. \n\n\n\nOur next mission\, HuskySat-3 (HS-3) is amongst one of the most novel uptakings in CubeSat development. HS-3\, set to launch in the 2030s\, will be a Lunar orbiter with the objective of mapping Subsurface Lunar Lava Tubes using a Ground Penetrating Radar within the Lunar Maria regions. These underground lava tubes are extremely promising candidates for long-term human habitation zones as they provide protection from natural phenomenon such as meteorites and radiation\, as well as provide a stable temperature environment. Onboard HS-3 will be some of the most groundbreaking CubeSat technology to ensure mission success and longevity. The success of HS-3 not only shines light on the viability of long-term human settlements on the moon but also will carve the path for a CubeSat level exploration of our beloved moon.  \n\n\n\nFurthermore\, the HSL collaborates with various partners such as Blue Origin\, Apex Space\, and many more for many different developments and projects. Currently\, the HSL is undertaking a mission in partnership with Blue Origin and our local community for a suborbital payload nicknamed CHNOOK. CHNOOK will deliver a flashdrive of artwork and meaningful messages that comes from K-College schools in the Washington area into space as well as continue HSL’s impact on interplanetary exploration by investigating the effects of launch and microgravity environments on a DNA nanostructure (“origami”) which have the potential to make future astronaut drug administration much more efficient. \n\n\n\nBy merging education with celebrating peaceful affairs in Lunar research at the University of Washington by HSL\, the HSL hopes to achieve a peaceful mission meant to benefit all international space companies and institutions. Additionally\, the HSL strives to further collaboration with international partners throughout the development of HS-3. Our vision is to advance scientific exploration on the Moon to unite industries across the globe for a collective goal of shared success. \n\n\n\nClub Promotion Video
