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.
