COSPAR-22-B3.1: LUNAR SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION
Since the start of our Millennium, lunar science and exploration experienced a broad renaissance with more than 12 orbiters and 5 landers sent to the Moon from multiple space-faring nations. Building on this growing experience, the next “International Lunar Decade” envisions a diverse range of small to large missions that include cubesats, landers, orbiters, sample return, and eventually human-robotic partnership in lunar exploration on the surface. This involves multiple countries and commercial endeavors, resulting in a robotic network and then functional human ‘village’ of lunar activities. COSPAR-22-B3.1 “Lunar Science and Exploration” will include invited, contributed, and poster papers, with sub-sessions:
1) Results from Recent Lunar Missions and integrated analyses: progress in lunar science from recent missions, latest science results, new insight into our understanding of the Moon, modelling and synthesis of different scientific data, and new science questions (of, from and on the Moon).
2) Concepts, studies, technology and support research towards future lunar exploration and science: new lunar mission concepts, instrumentation for the future missions, use of the next lunar decade of landers, and preparations for human lunar exploration are welcome in this session.
COSPAR-22-B3.1 will also be ICEUM17A, part of 17th International Conference on Exploration and Utilisation of the Moon from the ILEWG ICEUM series started in 1994.
