About Open Lunar
Open Lunar is a 501 (c)3 founded in 2018 by a group of respected new space executives, astronauts and scientists after four years of discussion and analysis. After conducting a plethora of activities and programs from 2018-2021, in 2022 the founding team retrofitted the organisation readying it for succession. They set up an innovation process styled off RnD/venture studio models. Today, Open Lunar’s project pipeline is a robust representation of the needs of the sector, chosen by the sector itself. Open Lunar has garnered a strong international reputation and is the leading nonprofit for lunar issues globally. With a rigorous and streamlined set of systems and strong backing, these roles we’re hiring for will leverage the foundations we have today to help scale the organization 3X.
