What Are The Lunar Workshops?

The Lunar Workshops are intensely interactive, educational events for people passionate about going back to the Moon. If you want to be involved in shaping the future of space exploration, you need to attend one or more of the Lunar Workshops. Together we will solve the challenges we face to build the hardware, software, businesses and collaborative community required to go to the Moon and beyond. To attract capital, science, technology and excitement to Cislunar space we have created The Lunar Workshops and The Lunar Challenges.

If you want to know what LunarCube technologies are available today and what opportunities will be available tomorrow, please plan to attend “Opening the Lunar Frontier” in person or via the Internet

LCW 4 will bring together scientists, engineers, investors and entrepreneurs who want to be part of the fastest moving and most exciting missions in planetary science and the Lunar Frontier. The first three days of LCW 4 will focus on the science, technology, missions and systems involved in exploring and opening the Lunar Frontier.

Realizing that entrepreneurs interested in getting involved with a space-based company face some particularly unique challenges, our mission on Friday is to help you turn these challenges and potential pitfalls into wins for you and your company! Hear from New Space experts in a variety of fields on the fourth and final day of LCW 4 at our Friday workshop entitled “Entrepreneurship on the Lunar Frontier”.

LSA 4 will be a crossroads for scientist, engineers and entrepreneurs who are building and flying Lunar missions now.

After 30 years of neglect, the Moon is becoming a very active and crowded place. Russia, China and the US all plan to have active lander \ rover missions on the Lunar surface in 2017-18. In addition, there will be many secondary payloads and LunarCube missions to the surface of the Moon and throughout Cislunar space with rides provided by smaller national and private programs such as the Google Lunar X Prize teams.

In response, LSA 4 will bring together the best, the brightest and the most passionate to deliver progress updates, the latest discoveries and newest opportunities, technical presentations and discussions on lander \ rover technologies; ISRU, especially cryogenic volatiles deposits; and cryogenic planetary science and processes. The latest results from LRO, LCROSS, and LADEE will be presented, and Astrobotic, MoonExpress, Luna, and Resource Prospector will provide updates on the progress of their missions.

LSA 4 is the anchor event for a week of activities in and around the Kennedy Space Center including the 43rd Space Congress sponsored by Canaveral Council of Technical Societies (CCTS), Yuri's Night and a banquet co-sponsored by the Missile, Space and Range Pioneers, a member of CCTS.

Cislunar space, from low Earth orbit to the Lunar far side halo orbit (LL2), is a uniquely accessible environment for planetary scientists and explorers providing physical analogs for many extreme conditions from Mercury to Pluto. Cislunar space provides two primary environments for in-situ and prepared experimentation: Long duration cryogenic environments down to 25 Kelvin with natural or man made volatile ices and hard vacuum deep space partials, plasma and radiation environments.

The SOCS workshops and Challenges will focus on developing the technologies and techniques to illuminate the chemistry and physics of deep space targets such as the ice giants, icy moons, or the partials and plasmas around near Earth objects (NEO’s).

The SOCS Workshops are one day events held the weekend before major planetary workshops such as the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) and the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society (DPS). This year, SOCS will be held prior to the start of the Annual Meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society (DPS)which runs from November 9-14, 2014.

The SOCS morning session will focus on developing and testing deep space instruments in Cislunar space and the afternoon session will focus on scientific analogs in the Cislunar environment.

Registration and participation at this event is FREE, but we do ask that you register at: www.SOCSWorkshops.com
