The goal for each group is to discuss and develop a brief written response to each of the key questions posed during their breakout sessions (see below). These responses will subsequently be integrated into a draft concept for a sustainable lunar settlement (in the form of a multinational R&D park/university) to guide further discussion on this topic throughout the coming year.

DG Breakout Session 1
DG1: Developing a Multinational Lunar Settlement

Promenade Ballroom I
Discussion Group Facilitators: Stephen Day, Dan Bland, Dan Rasky, Shu Usuba

Key Questions:

  • What would be the primary benefits (e.g., scientific, educational, humanistic, commercial) for developing a multinational lunar base?
  • How might a lunar settlement optimally be developed (including timeline), structured, operated and regulated, and by whom/what?
  • What are the viable approaches (scientific, technological, legal, political, financial) to realizing this vision, and how could these be implemented?
  • What terrestrial precedents/ongoing efforts could help inform and support the development of a sustainable lunar settlement?
  • Howcouldthiseffortbemade“participatory”–i.e.,inclusiveof both professionals and the general public worldwide?

DG2: Lunar-based R&D, Education and Training
Orchid Room
Discussion Group Facilitators: Frank Schowengerdt, Greg Schmidt, Beth McKnight, Susumu Yoshitomi

Key Questions:

  • What are the principal advantages and opportunities for lunar- based R&D (including technology T&E), education and training?
  • How could these activities complement/support/synergize with related activities on Earth, aboard the ISS, and elsewhere?
  • How might these activities optimally be developed (including timeline), structured, operated and regulated, and by whom/what?
  • What are the viable approaches (scientific, technological, legal, political, financial) to realizing this vision, and how could these be implemented?
  • How could these efforts be made “participatory” – i.e., inclusive of both professionals and the general public worldwide?
