The Fund a Fellow campaign is back. This fall we will be highlighting our fellowship program through an exciting campaign #fundafellow.

Collaboratively developing ideas into hunches was a major milestone in Open Lunar’s development. Find out how we applied this approach to developing our 2024 Hunches.

Introducing Open Lunar's innovative approach to Lunar Stewardship! We are thrilled to announce Open Lunar's innovation process, aimed at creating sustainable support systems for lunar projects that enhance cooperation and good governance. Watch the video of the event that launched this process.

Open Lunar's focus is creating impact toward a future on the Moon that we are all proud of, not just adding more to the lunar ecosystem for the sake of its growth. This post expands on the beginning of our innovation process

The Astra Carta, a joint statement of intent towards space sustainability, was launched on 28 June by King Charles. The Open Lunar Team and Directors played a central role in the development of the Zero Draft,.

This year, Open Lunar has worked to codify and clarify our process to multiply our impact, enhance our focus, engage more people, and provide more certainty, so our engine of innovation can thrive.

Open Lunar has the potential to drive the creation of an approach to Lunar settlement that puts stewardship first.

The event celebrated the launch of the Timekeeping White Paper which discusses the potential benefits and challenges of establishing a local lunar time standard and its implications for lunar missions, including its compatibility with existing lunar initiatives.

This event marked the launch of the Registry Project White Paper which provides an insightful exploration of the creation of an open, transparent, and dedicated lunar registry that will catalogue crucial mission details such as launch state, operating actor, location, time, and more.

The Lunar Policy Handbook is a reference guidebook for government personnel and private actors in the space industry.

Norms, particularly transparency, are needed to stabilise competition and promote cooperation on the Moon.

A cooperative, decentralized network of timekeeping devices could offer an agile, affordable approach to supporting an ecosystem of actors in cislunar space.

A voluntary Lunar Registry would not replace or render governmental or intergovernmental registries obsolete.

This research is focused on considering possible architectures for an open and independent time standard for cislunar space.

Normative behaviours are integral to fostering a coherent community of actors and promoting peace and stability for existing treaties and aspirational goals.

The blog explores the incentive structures that would enable commercial participation in a Lunar Registry through a series of related posts.

There is an opportunity for actors interested in entering the lunar communications space to learn from the best practices of network infrastructure providers (ISPs/IXPs), as well as the open source community.

Every few months, we work to collate all our recent insights and share it publicly in a rare and powerful summary of the work that we do. In this event you'll hear from five researchers, four of which are part of our esteemed Fellowship program, as well as Dr Woods, Senior Researcher and lunar engineer.
