Lunar Ledger highlighted in Secure World Foundation’s global analysis of space information sharing
The Lunar Ledger is identified as one of a small number of emerging lunar information-sharing initiatives in a new report by the Secure World Foundation.
It is highlighted alongside UNOOSA Index of Article XI Submissions and the International Lunar Research Station Cooperation Organization as part of a growing ecosystem aimed at improving coordination, transparency, and safety in lunar activities.
A recent report by the Secure World Foundation on space information sharing highlights the Lunar Ledger as part of a small group of emerging initiatives shaping how data is exchanged in the lunar domain.
The study examines how information sharing underpins space sustainability, noting that current practices remain fragmented, inconsistent, and constrained by political, technical, and institutional barriers. These gaps can limit coordination, reduce trust, and increase the risk of misunderstanding or escalation in an increasingly congested space environment.
Within this context, the report points to a growing set of initiatives designed to improve transparency and coordination. The Lunar Ledger is identified alongside two other efforts, the UNOOSA Index of Article XI Submissions and the International Lunar Research Station Cooperation Organisation, as part of a broader shift toward more structured and accessible information-sharing mechanisms.
The inclusion of the Lunar Ledger reflects its role as a practical, operational approach to information sharing that is designed to complement and support existing and emerging UN and nation-state efforts. Developed as a voluntary, open-access platform, it is designed to enable governments, companies, and researchers to share data on lunar missions and activities in a consistent and accessible way. By improving visibility of planned and ongoing operations, it supports safer mission planning, reduces the risk of interference, and facilitates cooperation across an increasingly diverse set of lunar actors.
More broadly, the report reinforces a key premise underpinning the Lunar Ledger: that transparency and data exchange are essential foundations for long-term stability in space. It highlights the need for common standards, improved coordination, and practical tools that can bridge gaps between civil, commercial, and national security actors.
As lunar activity accelerates, the recognition of the Lunar Ledger within this analysis underscores its relevance as part of the emerging infrastructure supporting safe, sustainable, and cooperative operations on and around the Moon.
