International Lunar Research Park
The path to a permanent Lunar presence is daunting..
Few countries can reach it ..• USA, Russia, Japan, India, ESA, China• Only 1 has safely landed and returned humans
Launch costs are outrageous ..• Delta II cost apprx. $60M• Est. payload to the Lunar surface ~ 1,700 pounds• ~ $30,000 per pound payload to Lunar surface
What’s the driver & why the Moon ?

International Lunar Research Park
Much needs to be proven for self-sustainment
Lunar resource utilization..• Water collection, oxygen generation• Metal extraction, raw material generation• Fabrication and assembly
Lunar surface operations• Environmental – static, dust, radiation• Recycling & Life Support• Navigation, communication
Lunar Sciences• Astronomy, Geology…

International Lunar Research Park
EVERYBODY wants to be involved
Grass roots organizations..• International groups – NSS, Moon Society, etc• Local groups – LRS, L5, PASA, OASIS, etc
Academia• Science and engineering colleges worldwide
•(Small universities currently have little access)
Corporations• Large corps want to exploit new markets• Small corps want to support the big corps

THE OTHER BIG EXAMPLE
If NASA had not built the ISS backbone, ESA, Canada, and Japan would not be there.
![Page 25: International Lunar Research Park](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815643550346895dc3e7e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How do we get there ?
•Three major phases• Virtual, Terrestrial, and Lunar
• Virtual – • Loose IP Control (data gathering)• Minimal funding (free brain power)• Proposal writing• Government socializing of funding & projects
• Terrestrial – • Government & Industrial partners• Tighter IP control

![Page 32: International Lunar Research Park](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815643550346895dc3e7e8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Where’s the Money come from ?
•The money’s out there…
![Page 33: International Lunar Research Park](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815643550346895dc3e7e8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Space Solar Power is a key driver• Clean Power from Space
FINAL THOUGHTS
• RECYCLING is KEY to self sustainment• Green technologies developed during Terrestrial phase• Potential to migrate to Earth systems & products
• LUNAR SETTLEMENTS• Ala “Plymouth” mini-series• Plus hotels, restaurants, farms, mechanics, etc.
• Other new technologies could benefit Earth• Bio-leaching, Poor Ore technologies
