ILO – Chang'e 3 Galaxy Imaging (2013)
ILO-1: Observation & Communication From the Lunar South Pole
Lunar South Pole – Kaguya
Primary and Secondary ILOMission Objectives:
First Light Galaxy Imaging Initial landing site observation, local surveillance Earth observations: albedo, geocorona, etc.
Search for Earth-like planets Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Analyze interstellar molecules to determine origin of Solar
System VLF observation Observe signs of life on Mars, Europa, Titan, etc. Search for dangerous NEOs Sun-Earth observations, solar storm warnings

General Education – for primary, secondary higher, and highest education: Knowledge, understanding of humanity’s place in the Universe – our Milky Way Galaxy occupies a mid-position domain between Solar System finiteness and Cosmos infinity
Higher Education: Astrophysics / Astronomy – Galaxy studies internationally are of increasing interest and value; study of our local stellar neighborhood for familiarity; center / central 10 parsecs with supermassive black hole is most dynamic region of Milky Way
History of Human Civilization / Archaeoastronomy NASA, World Space Agencies – 21st Century Program and Policy
Development Advance through Galaxy understanding Galacticity – may be as important for the 21st Century, as is
Relativity to 20th
Why Galaxy Education, Consciousness & Awareness Are Important for the 21st Century:
