This whitepaper outlines the possibility of an Open Dashboard for Lunar Power Candidate Standards as a way to keep track of the progress achieved under any standard being proposed for future missions and allow standard implementers to coagulate around what is most needed, most easily proven, and most readily made available by the industry.
This report outlines the necessity and proposed concept for a Lunar Accidents, Incidents and Issues Reporting System (LAIIRS), a comprehensive multi-stakeholder community-led platform aimed at documenting and sharing knowledge about accidents, incidents, and issues associated with lunar activities.
Implementing Lunar Coordinated Time (LTC) is more complicated than you think. Doing it right means involving all stakeholders―public, private, military, civilian, and commercial―and allowing it to be independent of UTC.
This report expands on Open Lunar's foundational analysis of the historical and political context for the development of a Lunar Registry by providing detailed, actionable recommendations in several key areas.
This paper explores the characteristics of a common reference timing signal to serve future lunar operations. The goal is to identify a low-cost, transparent approach to the development of a Local Lunar Time Standard.
This white paper explores the creation of a dedicated Lunar Registry to catalogue critical mission details such as the launching state, operating actor, location, time, and more.
A Lunar Registry designed to encourage global multi-stakeholder participation and representation, based on consensus-building and inclusion, offers a tool to foster openness, trust, transparency, representation and social responsibility for all. This is the executive summary of a longer whitepaper.
Eliminating mistrust and building confidence between states is crucial now more than ever, with lunar ambitions emerging from different nations simultaneously. TCBMs will be critical to preserve security on the Moon and ensure that activities continue to be conducted “exclusively for peaceful purposes”.
This paper serves as a background summary of recent lunar exploration activity in the context of relevant stakeholder interests.
