Humanity is returning to the Moon. How we do it matters.

We work to ensure a peaceful and cooperative presence on the Moon, through collaborative technology, policy and infrastructure.

Open Lunar builds infrastructure,
leveraging expertise in governance, innovation, and technology.

We are entrepreneurs, astronauts, scientists, lawyers, engineers, and more collaborating to build an open lunar future. We have a global community led by a core staff enabling success.

We commission research on key challenges identified by the sector. We address a range of issues such as deconfliction, dust, data sharing, standards, and then build informed solutions.

We incubate infrastructure projects for lunar actors to collaborate and steward the Moon: technical standards, policies, legal frameworks, digital tools, services and hardware.

THE OPEN LUNAR BLOG

Open research progresses the sector.

We envision a long term human presence on the Moon demonstrating collaborative governance and stewardship. Shared infrastructure is the path to that future.

The precedents we set on the Moon can inspire solutions to challenges on Earth.

interplanetary species. Let’s work together to do this right.”
