📣 Save the date for the International Moon Day hosted at Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology - LIST on 20 July 📣

🌑 The next decade has the extraordinary potential to see more missions to the Moon, enabling humanity to understand more about our natural satellite and our place in the universe, as well as set the scene for the next step: the red planet, Mars.

The lunar surface contains diverse wonders that trigger the curiosity of an array of expertise: from mapping its surface, to understanding the composition of regolith and the ways it can enable a more sustainable human presence in space, the Moon is a multidisciplinary wonder.

🗓 Join us on Saturday 20 July 2024 for a fascinating edition of the International Moon Day, focused on scientific work dedicated to our natural satellite. The first part of the day will be dedicated to talks given by researchers in the field, while in the afternoon there will be an opportunity to network and exchange.

The panel will look at space resources from the research, technology and regulatory perspective: Kathryn Hadler, Dr. Edder R., Sabrina Andiappane, Güneş Ünüvar.

Date: June 29, 2024
Time: 12:15 (CET)
Location: Cercle Cité, Luxembourg, and live streamed on www.asteroidday.org.

🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE 🎧

Throughout the five episodes of Resourceful, we have had a chance to exchange with scientists, entrepreneurs and engineers, but we had not involved the regulatory experts into the conversation yet.

In this sixth episode, Steven Freeland, professor at Western Sydney University and Bond University, and Vice-Chair, United Nations COPUOS Working Group on Legal Aspects of Space Resource Activities - United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and Antonino Salmeri from Lunar Policy Platform are joining the conversation, telling us more about the big regulatory questions that arise when we ⁠make great ⁠plans for space exploration.

⚠ Listen until the end to discover some links with previous episodes and understand how everything comes together. Spoiler alert: we will be looking back at the first episode where we explored the Antarctica model together with Katherine Joy.

🚀 A small nation on the global map: Luxembourg plays a central role in the field of space. With the creation of the Luxembourg Space Agency in 2018, and then in 2020 the inauguration of the first research and innovation centre focused on space resources - ESRIC, the small Grand Duchy is no longer renowned only for its financial services and European institutions.

Furthermore, Luxembourg is hosting the event of reference that has recently concluded its sixth edition: Space Resources Week. This year’s conference brought together the community comprised of key actors from academia, research, space agencies, industry, as well as the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA).

In this episode of Resourceful, we have invited Dr Kathryn Hadler, Director of ESRIC to tell us more about the outcomes of this conference. The episode contains quotes from various presentations given during Space Resources Week from: Aarti Holla-Maini, Vlada Stamenkovic, Gerald (Jerry) Sanders, Gordon Wasilewski, PhD and Steven Freeland.

🌑 It is estimated that the lunar economy will reach a total of €170 billion of cumulative market value and lead to the creation of close to 2 million jobs in the next 15-20 years. The next decade could be marked by over 400 lunar missions, making the Moon a new priority for space agencies and commercial actors.

To demystify this topic, in the fourth episode of Resourceful, we have invited Kyle Acierno from OffWorld and Estelle Godard from Promus Ventures to share some insights on what the future of business in space looks like.

🚀 We have surrounded our planet Earth with spacecraft that make our daily lives easier to navigate, help us tackle the impact of climate change, as well as answer vital scientific questions. Today we are launching 10 times more than we did 10 years ago and even if there is a lot of space in space, it is all becoming a bit cluttered.

For this third episode of our mini-series, we have asked Sabrina Andiappane from ClearSpace and Bernd M. Weiss from Luleå tekniska universitet to clear the air for us and explain what kind of solutions they envision for a circular future of space.

🎧 New Podcast episode alert 🎧

With humanity’s desire and need to accomplish more in space, the question of sustainability arises. How can space exploration become less reliant on earth’s resources, and on public funding, and flourish in the context of a future in-space economy?

In this second episode of Resourceful we have invited two experts to tell us more about sustainability in space. Daniel Faber, the CEO and co-founder of Orbit Fab will uncover the mysteries of refueling in space, while Najwa Naimy, responsible for vehicle design and product strategy at The Exploration Company, will help us understand more about the importance of opening space up to non-traditional players and designing solutions that are reusable and versatile.

The integration of in-situ use of space resources has the potential to completely revolutionise the way space exploration is being conducted. In the long term, it can decrease the costs associated with space flights, it can make our activities in space cleaner and bring circularity into the space equation.

In the first episode of the series, we would like to understand more about what space resources are and the potential they have in making space exploration a cleaner and more
sustainable activity. We have asked Katherine Joy, professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Manchester to share her experience as a planetary scientist, as a space enthusiast and as someone who has been to one of the most remote places in the world to conduct science.
