Lander programs provide a major opportunity for scientists and space entrepreneurs alike to get their hardware and instruments into space relatively soon and cost effectively during the test phase for these privately funded platforms. Presentations by scientists and engineers from NASA, commercial companies and educational institutions will disclose the cutting edge engineering and science of Lunar Polar ISRU, with an in-depth look at NASA's Resource Prospector Mission. Lunar Surface Applications (LSA 5) will provide important updates on the four US-led Lander programs, their payloads and the science that can be performed from these platforms. Friday’s focus will be on Entrepreneurship in the Space Industry. Many presenters from the Central Florida Small Satellite Community will share their new technologies and knowledge about running companies in today’s commercial space industry. Lunar Landers NASA’s Lunar CATALYST (Lunar Cargo Transportation and Landing by Soft Touchdown) program has partnered with Masten Space Systems, Astrobotic Technology, and Moon Express to deliver payloads to the Lunar surface. Join us for updates from these major players in the lunar lander arena. Surface Science The lunar surface represents the range of conditions found throughout the solar system with its rugged terrain, long diurnal cycle, and wide range of extreme thermal and illumination conditions. Lunar volatiles and dust and their interactions with fields and particles are of particular interest in future space exploration. Lunar ISRU ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) is crucial to future space exploration, as it will minimize the amount of materials carried from earth.Imagine if the raw materials needed to sustain a crew on the moon could be found or manufactured on the moon, an asteroid, or another planet. The uses of various ISRU material for life support, propellants, construction materials, and energy will be presented.
