ABOUT US

We are the only dedicated international source of independent, non-governmental research on Lunar development.

We focus on developing research that contributes to sustainable development on Earth and in Space.

We provide a 'third-way' perspective - pursuing research that would not normally be undertaken by government and industry - and that unlocks efficiencies through enhancing cooperation and standardization.

We believe that these efficiencies are well understood on Earth and could be applied more effectively in space, and specifically in the Lunar context.

We aim to demonstrate those efficiencies through funding research that turn into projects that deliver in active technology and policy implementation results.

Explore our work to discover how we fund research through fellowships, project grants and convening.
