7 LEWG Task Groups (2000 -) & NASA et al. themes 2006 Science of, on and from the Moon -> Scientific Knowledge Pursue scientific activities that address fundamental questions about the history of Earth, the solar system and the universe - and about our place in them. Technologies and Resource Utilisation -> New Technologies Test technologies, systems, flight operations and exploration techniques to reduce the risks and prepare future missions to Moon, Mars and beyond. Human Aspects, and Lunar Bases -> Human Civilization Extend human presence to the Moon to enable eventual settlement. Collaborative Roadmap & Moon-Mars Synergies -> Global Partnerships Challenging, shared and peaceful activity that unites nations Social, Economical Commercial, Societal Aspects -> Economic Expansion Expand Earth's economic sphere, and conduct activities with benefits to home Education Public Outreach & Young Lunar Explorers -> Public Engagement To engage the public and youth students, and help develop the high-tech workforce required to address the challenges of tomorrow.

9 IAA Next steps to Moon: What Science and How? Lunar outposts for exploration on the Moon Search for evidence of the origin of the Earth-Moon system Determine the history of asteroid and comet impacts on Earth Obtain evidence of the Sun s history and its effects on Earth through time Search for samples from the Early Earth Determine the form, amount, and origin of lunar ice Expand life on the Moon, and exploit local resources Human exploration enhanced by robots Exploration architecture A proving ground: Learn to explore the Moon and beyond Transportation systems synergy with SunEarth-L2 and Mars requirements Extended robotic & human presence on the Moon : cultural milestone

10 240 experts and 300 students from 18 countries, Beijing from 23 to 27 July 2006 SMART-1, SELENE, Chang'E 1, Chandrayaan 1 and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter/LCROSS 1. Internationally coordinated analyses 2. Specific targets: cross-calibration & train young explorers 3. Solar monitor data be made available as rapidly as possible 4. Common, improved Lunar Coordinates Reference Frame 5. Archive, PDS-PSA compatible form, international standards 6. Common standards for S-band spacecraft communication, common tracking operations 7. Data cross-check and validation for modern-era vs data and experience from Past missions 8. Impact events/probes campaigns coordination International Lunar Decade & Lunar Global Robotic Village 9. Standardized telecommunications, navigation, VLBI support for orbiter, lander, rover missions Global Moon Navigation and Positioning System, lunar internet/gps 10. Document missions plans for end of operations, frozen stable orbits, data relay, navigation, 11. Geophysical network studies of the interior of the Moon & common standards (cf Earth) 12. Protecting the Moon becomes more urgent than ever, space agencies to give their attention to it 13. Outreach activities, student participation, public outreach events We reaffirm our commitment, with the international lunar missions and research community, to prepare the way for global participation in the extension of human presence on the Moon and beyond, for the benefit of all mankind.
