Current thinking is a small/inflatable buried structure with absolute minimal facilities. An inflatable 4 metre diameter tube roughly 6 metre long, laying on its side, buried 2-3 meters, with 2-3 meters of regolith overburden. Say 6-10 bunks on a wall, a couple desks, a RV style shower/head and a small sink. Maybe if we are really lucky a place to heat food. (all inflatable furnature/barriers, filled with varying densities and consistencies of spray foam) There will probably be three airlocks, one outer lock leading to a suit room, a second lock between the suit room and the living quarters as a dust mitigation lock, and a third as an emergency exit. There will be a limited amount of water recycling, and until we get the in-situ resource manufacturing down, most supplies will need to be brought it. Of course power will be supplied by solar panels over the overburden, (A little more protection) and perhaps as a sun shade over some of the external equipment. Power storage for overnight is still in the 'air'. (Sorry) Depending on the location though. (see <br />

==An idea to reduce the volume of the payload==<br />
<br />
By: [[User:Len|Len]]<br />
<br />
By filling the inflatable items on the mission with expanding foam (it comes in various densities) things such as the sleeping cubes, the tables and chairs, and room dividers are all items that can be collapsed to a fraction of the volume of standard items. Since the expanding foam generates CO2 it will self inflate the object. <br />
<br />
The foam comes in several different densities - ranging from styrofoam to rock. Filling inflatables with foam will have the benefit of adding rigidity to the item. <br />
<br />
This assumes that the foam will expand normally in a vacuum at lunar gravity levels and it should be noted that the foam is temperature sensitive during expansion - extensive testing would be required.<br />
<br />
This is another off of the shelf solution available to the mission.<br />

<hr />
<div>Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
I'm member amesoliman. I am proposing here the modification of the OpenLuna wiki to better organize it. I hope this will make it easier to navigate in the future. <br />
<br />
Please use this discussion page to identify any weaknesses in this proposal. Also feel free to change any misleading information or errors.<br />
<br />
I have been advised to rename the project management area to Board of Directors. My main aim of project management is for project heads and subsystem leaders to meet and discuss any issues of mutual interest. I guess it would also be a good idea for the BoD to also 'mingle' in this portal to follow the latest progress.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to your comments!<br />
<br />
<br />
--[[User:Paul|Paul]] 17:19, 11 November 2009 (UTC)<br />
I am reading this in detail, but so far I like the idea. I know Gary had some details he was adding as far as Organizational details, but over all, we like it. And please - Keep it up. We desperately need a wiki gardener, and looking at what you've written so far, I think you'd do it well. <br />
<br />
Note for further reference for every one; We no longer number missions, we only name them. We don't know if there are going to be one two three or more [[Scout_class]] or [[Sample_return_class]] missions, for example.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
--[[User:Amesoliman|Amesoliman]] 19:02, 13 November 2009 (UTC) <br />
Thanks Paul, really appreciate the input.<br />
<br />
I don't think I can organise the whole wiki on my own, I think we need to all jump in for the effort. <br />
<br />
Engineering discussions seem to be very little, so that would be a good place to start. Since I'm volunteering in engineering, I can help in establishing the new portal.<br />
<br />
I'll see if I can design the skeletons for each portal, then people could simply put in the relevant info. I'll try to do it, but can't promise anything.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for your comment!<br />
<br />
Welcome Amesoliman,<br />
<br />
The proposal sounds good to me. I think it would help if someone started with just creating empty pages that form an outline of sorts. Then people can jump in and move or add stuff. Could you get us started by taking that on?<br />

<div>The volunteer hours suggestion would solve Melissa's concerns for her science team. We don't want to loose them over this. But as the organization grows there has to be a simple way of identifying members as voting or non-voting.<br />
<br />
Another way, which would be great if we can pull it off, is to have members decide at sign-up (can change it anytime) to accept or decline voting rights. That way, the people who just want to follow won't impact our quorum calculations. <br />
<br />
It could also be incorporated into a [[membership drive]] where by members get an extension on their dues if they recruit a couple people. Debi-Lee June 21</div>Debileehttp://openluna.org/wiki/index.php?title=Proposed_membership_PolicyProposed membership Policy2009-06-21T00:49:45Z<p>Debilee: </p>

<br />
SECTION 2. CLASSES OF MEMBERSHIP. General Members - must pay periodic dues, as established by the Board of Directors; are entitled to full voting rights at Annual or other meetings of the Membership; may hold office as a member of the Board of Directors; and may serve as a corporate officer, upon designation by the Board of Directors. Membership may be terminated upon the recommendation of the Membership Committee, pursuant to a due process hearing, affording complainants and defendant/member ample opportunity to be heard, as the circumstances and good judgment may require; and Membership shall be deemed to have terminated voluntarily by the failure of any member to pay established dues on a timely basis. General Members - may include several 'status' labels, or groupings, including 'Founding Member', 'Explorer', 'Settler', 'Life' Member (i.e., one who has 'paid up for life' of a predetermined dues amount) and a category for 'Sponsor' members.<br />
<br />
Sponsor Member - would enable a corporation, foundation, other institution such as a college or university, or other not-for-profit entity to be recognized by name, and to appoint one or more of its officers or other designees to membership, on behalf of, or representing the named entity, as a General Member, as established by resolutions properly adopted by the Board of Directors. A named designee, as a General Member, would enjoy the same standing as others regarding voting rights and eligibility for election to the Board of Directors, or appointment by said Board to a Committee or to serve as an officer of the OPENLUNA FOUNDATION.<br />
<br />
Founding Member - shall include those persons who have contributed time, money or expertise for the pre-formative period from January 1, 2008, through and including the adoption of these By-Laws, to be effective on the ___ day of June, 2009, according to the list of named Founders, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by this reference. Founding Members, or 'Founders' shall become General Members upon payment of initial dues, as established by the Board of Directors and upon satisfying such other requirements as are noted above.<br />
<br />
Patron, Explorer and Settler Members - shall be included as General Members upon satisfying the 'status' requirements, including level of contributions of funds, property or other values, as defined and to be deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, by specific resolutions of said Board, when and as such measures are properly adopted. Upon acceptance, such Members shall be afforded all of the privileges and responsibilities of General Members, as noted above.<br />
<br />
Student Member - available to high school or college students; not required to pay annual dues; ascribes to the purposes of the Foundation; may apply for General Membership upon attaining the age of majority as defined by laws of the State or other jurisdiction of the student's residence or domicile and payment of annual dues; may remain in a non-dues paying 'Student Member' status through college before being called upon to join 'General Members' class. Conditions regarding Student Member status, initiation fee or reduced Dues, Voting rights, and eligibility to serve by Board appointment on Committees shall be as determined and set forth by properly adopted Resolutions of the Board of Directors.</div>Debileehttp://openluna.org/wiki/index.php?title=MemberMember2009-06-21T00:37:28Z<p>Debilee: New page: [Join]no link yet ---- Membership Policy</p>

<div>Drop any references to claiming any part of the Moon and you should be left alone long enough to get something done. U.S. and signatory nations to the '67 UN 'Outer Space Treaty' cannot subborn an act that is clearly in violation of the treaty provisons banning private appropriation of the Moon 'or any part thereof'. They will move to shut you down if you actually try to launch or attempt to actually stake a claim. You do NOT want a legal war over this as you will lose. . .AFTER you have racked up so much debt the orgnaization would have to fold.<br />
<br />
^^^^^ Not sure what this is in reference to on preceding age ^^^^^<br />
<br />
A1 S1 - perhaps the BOD should approve (en mass) the memberships acceptance of new members? checks and balances.<br />
<br />
A1 S2 perhaps Founding member would be better pronounced Founder member. Allows us to run around as founders instead of f***ing members. Is there any legal ramifications of such a title change? This would parallel the naming of Patron (patronising) Explorer (exploring), Settler (settling), and Student (studending/studing :) Members.<br />
<br />
A1S3 the establishing of procedures needs to be voted on, not just published by the membership committee. I assume the procedure for passing resolutions and other issues of governance will be covered in a later article.<br />
<br />
A1S4 Should all membership dues be for the same period with all membership renewing on the same date ? This would allow for a unified "pay - your dues and vote on this years plan' style operation. It also gives an excellent opportunity to publish an annual report and financial statement. Members could join with a partial payment for the remaining annual membership.<br />
<br />
A1S5 this one seems a little odd. I think it is the RESPONSIBILITY for the BOD to solicit input and support form individual members, not really an option, but don't really know if it goes in this article. The voting and record keeping seems to go in this article, possibly with it's own section ???<br />
<br />
GES 5/13/09<br />
<br />
No one else is commenting ???<br />
<br />
On AIV should some provisions be made for telecommuting (tele-attending ?) the general or Directors meetings ?<br />
<br />
ges 5/20/09<br />
<br />
== DRAFT OF BY-LAWS ==<br />
<br />
I finished the Draft of Articles IV, V, and VI, for review and comment; Rick<br />
<br />
in reverse order - I think that the Tele-commuting issue has been addressed by the provision for Members or the BOD to take actions by 'counterpart' signature/date documents; good question, please see Sec. 3, Art. VI, added today.<br />
<br />
As to GES comment about 'Founders' - I think what we are do-'ING' now, presently, is Found-'ING'; hence, upon adoption of By-Laws and completion of the First and Organizational Meeting - we - the Founding Members - will slip quietly into the past tense, as the 'Founders' for historical context; but we would carry forward as General Members.<br />
<br />
I agree, the BOD, as initial Membership Committee, should approve all of the Founding Members as the initial General Members, by a Resolution at the 1st & Organizational Meeting; and should then develop an Application Form and process for review and approval of subsequent Member prospects, to be accepted by Resolutions, at future BOD meetings. - could use some help on form and process, anyone?<br />
<br />
Dues - there is a blank line, to be filled in by us - the Founders, about an amount for annual dues- by each of us, then by new Members added later. What are we willing and able to pay/donate, now, to get OpenLuna started? I put a $50 charge on my credit card, to pay the incorporation fee to the Colorado Secretary of State; I would deem that $50 as my initial dues, but, for what period of time?<br />
Others of you have 'fronted' your own funds for the benefit of OpenLuna, in various ways; I did see a receipt for the cost of printing, for OpenLuna business cards, 'fronted' by someone. If I am going to set up the initial set of books for OpenLuna, I will want receipts (copies) for expenditures each or any of you have made, 'fbo' (for benefit of) the entity. If someone has made large expenditures, we should treat that total amount, minus $50 [or whatever amount we designate] for 1st year/initial dues, as an Account Payable, by OpenLuna, to the individual Member; it would be nice to have the documents/copies, in support of these transactions 'out on the table' so we can discuss, decide and Act, by Resolutions at our 1st & Org. Mtg. - this month!!!<br />
As you will note in the finished 'Draft' of our By-Laws, I designated our fiscal year as July 1 to June 30; therefore, we should review, final 'fixes' as needed, agree to adopt By-Laws, and conduct our 1st & Org. Meeting - NOW - before end of June; it will serve as our 1st Annual Meeting; we would run a long year, a few days (June 2009) to end of our first full fiscal year, June 30, 2010; hence, our next annual meeting of Members, and BOD would be scheduled next June or July.<br />
From that, should my $50, as dues, carry me to next June, or renewal as of July 1, 2010? The same question would apply to each of you who put money into/'fbo' OpenLuna over the past year or so.<br />
<br />
Please send me your receipts/copies, with a brief explanation, so we can resolve these matters; Paul will call to schedule a teleconference Meeting, for our 1st & Org. Meeting, soon. Rick<br />
<br />

A-V One thing that is important to Paul and I is the financial statement. We have seen other organizations misappropriate funds, or at least use funds in ways not in the intent of the original donation. I think we discussed a 'open books' policy that would explicitly state all incomes and expenses with a tag describing intent and disposition. At the time we talked about this being on the website. the whole 'open' thing. Should we add to Article V a part about open books?<br />
<br />
GES 6/4/09<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I agree with Gary here. I think an enumeration of the open financial statement would be good. However I am prepared to vote "Yes" in the current form, saving the operational specifics for the first amendments to the bylaws.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hello :)<br />
<br />
I have skimmed the by-laws and failed to find anything that seemed obviously in-appropriate. Reading the comments here, I agree with the open-book financial thing. I might suggest specifying where funds can be invested if ever we start raking in more than we dish out, for example, requiring investments to always be in guaranteed payback form, ie, risk free. Could save huge head-aches down the road, as you hear about financial shenanigans once a week these days.<br />
<br />
Something I found quite interesting was the stipulation that general members must be 18 or more years old. I guess that is because they have to pay to become general members, and under that age they can't be trusted to really know whether they want to invest or not, and we don't want to be branded as coercing money out of them. The other question would be: Can a founding member be a student member, and therefore not pay any dues while they remain a student?<br />
<br />
Something else I might suggest is specifying what happens to funds contributed by members beyond the standard membership fee. Is there any kind of system of recognition in place? Will somebody who contributes a thousand dollars to the cause be recognized more than another who contributes a thousand dollars worth of equipment, or a thousand dollars worth of time and effort? (In my opinion, we will most want to thank those who contribute time and effort).<br />
<br />
A final thing I found interesting is that new members have to request membership, and their membership has to then be voted on at either a scheduled or special meeting for the purpose. Wow. You're really taking this membership thing seriously! The million dollar question: What would make the membership committee refuse a new member? Is this organization going elite, or is that sentence in there just to prevent criminals becoming members?<br />
<br />
anyway, my two cents worth,<br />
<br />
cheers,<br />
<br />

I like everything I've seen - fiscal transparency is important, and I like that there's an option for student members with NO dues, instead of reduces dues. Even $25 is a couple of meals for a college student, which is significant.<br />
<br />
I should be a bit more active now - I'm moving at the beginning of July to Norfolk, but school is done (whoo!).<br />

<br />
I have addressed the concerns for financial reporting; it would usually be a task of the Officers, such as the Treasurer, and subject to the direction of the Board. We should be able to provide, for Board & Members use, a 'narrative' format, which would include "Sources and Uses of Funds"; 'Sources' would show categories such as 1.]Member Dues; 2.]Contibutions - Individual; and Corporate/entities; 3.]Grants - by governmental or institutional entities; 4.]Revenues - from fees for services, or sales of products & services; 5.]Other - might include contract revenues.<br />
"Uses" would include our 1.] Costs, for producing revenues, as in items 4. or 5., above, such as Purchases - of goods or services from others; Labor - as wages to our people, or contracted labor or services by others; 2.] Overhead, such as Office Rent, Heat, Lights, other utilities, supplies, telecommunications expenses, etc., 3.] G & A, or 'General and Administrative' Expenses, such as a filing fee, to incorporate, or to apply for tax exempt status; Service charges, by banks, other entities with whom we do business; postage, printing, supplies, stationery; 4.] Deferred Expenses - such as 'R & D' or Research & Development - I saw pictures of some unique wearing apparel for those who would venture into outer space, along with comments by several of you, that 'WE' - OpenLuna - could become involved in the production and sale of such items; who has done the 'R & D' for a product such as that?; it would fit the nature of a Deferred Expense, with a hope of recovery, by amortizing the outlay, carried on our books, over an extended period to allow for future sales to help pay back our outlay, or 'investment'; If we do not advertise and sell the 'suits' in a quantity to recover our investment of funds - some from each of you - we would eventually have to recognize a 'Loss' --- sorry, there are no 'guarantees' in this or other aspects of life. We will try to be 'prudent' in analyzing opportunities, and 'practical' in ventures we undertake, for the benefit of OpenLuna, and do so to the best of our ability - collectively as well as indivdually.<br />
<br />
Concerns about MEMBERSHIP: 18 yrs. is the age of majority, according to most States; it enables one who has passed from adolescence to adulthood to enter into, and be bound by contracts or other similar obligations as a responsible adult. yES, PERSONS should apply for, or be proposed for Membership, - before becoming Members, in any category. It is for both preventive reasons, as well as a provision - due process - for remedy. Experience - is said to be a good teacher; an eligible veteran walked into my American Legion Post, filled out an application and tendered his dues; our Membership chairman accepted his money, issued a membership card to him; he got drunk, accosted - or worse - two women, one in the parking lot, all on his first night. Complaints, and threats came up; our Membership guy sent him a letter and his money; advised him he was not accepted as a member of our Post, based on his "conduct unbecoming..."!! He could have sued, or petitioned for reinstatement, because of the backwards way we handled it. We could have filed a criminal action or complaint for his conduct; however, neither of the long-time members of our Women's Auxiliary - and friends, were up to the hassle of filing a complaint, then having to testify, etc. Needless to say, we amended our By-Laws to provide preventative 'screening' procedures, henceforth. That was July, 2007; I have seen other "issues" arise, i.e., when someone becomes associated with a group, as in a Member; but then holds him/herself out as an official (or something they are Not) and on behalf of the 'group' makes commitments, contracts or other actions which could impair, or at least cloud the Name, reputation or 'good standing' of the group or Entity. We are about to become a formalized Entity; it behooves us, to the best of our ability, to prevent the kinds of pitfalls, bad practices, even criminal type conduct that we are all aware has happened - throughout human history - as a function of human frailty. Agreed, we should even maintain a commitment to 'checks and balances' upon ourselves.<br />
<br />
As an accountant, I learned long ago that when I add columns of numbers, down (called 'footing') that I should then add the same numbers in rows, across (called 'cross-footing') as a double-check on Myself!; I hope you would not expect me to do less with regard to OpenLuna or any of you.<br />
<br />
I appreciate the feedback from several of you. I have tried to address the questions and ideas you have included in your comments. Some of these matters seem to fit "Policy" issues, which would become the responsibility of the Board of Directors, with input from the 'Founders' now, and the Membership, generally and into perpetuity. "Procedural" matters should be seen as responsibilities and duties of the Officers, who will be named/appointed by the Board to carry out the day to day affairs, or activities of OpenLuna, and who would do so pursuant to "the authority and direction.." of the Board.<br />
"Policy" issues are usually handled by Resolutions, either by the Board of Directors, at a regularly scheduled meeting, or by the Members, at the annual MEMBERS Meeting, or by either group, at a 'Special' Meeting of the (BOD/Members) called for that purpose, and according to our By-Laws.<br />

The membership acceptance process seemed exorbitant to me too. I see from above why but I don't see how we can screen in any effective way. But I can go with it. It just seems like membership management becomes a burden the way it is listed. <br />
<br />
I think we need to give some thought as to how the membership roster will be maintained, i.e. database, to handle who is an active member and how to attach their votes for accurate accounting. Do we have such a beast? Do we have a place for it? Who maintains it? I think that effects the cost of membership. Minimum $50. It has to be cost effective to put that much work into it. How do we track their contributions. For the various membership levels Patron, Explorer, Settler, is that for any one year's contribution. Or can it be cumulative? So that after 5 years, a general member becomes a patron... etc.<br />
<br />
AII Section 7 was unclear.<br />
<br />
I think they need a bit more work before being adopted.<br />
<br />
AIII-S1.<br />
<br />
appointment of the Nominating Committee must be 30 days before the call of the annual meeting. So the committee is formed 60 days from the date of the meeting, has 30 days to recruit nominees and post the list 30 days before the meeting. Yes?<br />

'''OpenLuna Science Team Meeting Notes'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''In attendance:''' Dom, Simon, Matt, Haley, Ed, Mel<br />
<br />
'''''Absent:''' Rhi, Em, Rod, Laura, Annie''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Location:''' University of Western Ontario, Centre for Planetary Science & Exploration, http://planetsci.uwo.ca/<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Meeting Agenda:''' <br />
<br />
1. Overview of the tasks at hand (scouting class & sample return class missions, for now);<br />
<br />
2. Top-level brainstorming of major science goals & requirements on the planned near-term lunar robotic missions;<br />
<br />
3. Discuss specific points: <br />
<br />
• Possible landing locations (regions, not specific sites) + rationale?<br />
• What instrumentation do we need on each of the rovers?<br />
• Science payload requirements for each of the landers?<br />
• What sort of payload space/mass do we need to plan for on the landers & satellite?<br />
• How small of a payload could be useful? Note that Science Payload = roughly 20 lbs per rover,<br />
for ~10 rovers (exact mass of payload will determine the number of rovers, therefore limiting or increasing # of potential landing sites)<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Results of brainstorming:''' <br />
• Camera on each rover (TBD)<br />
• Reflector on top of each rover for lazer ranging<br />
• Test life detection tools on “planted” organic matter<br />
• Petri dish “mini-dome” or spores (seed a panel of the lander?)<br />
• Plant growth experiments with regolith<br />
• Micrometeorite flux measurement: aerogel on each rover<br />
• Dosimeter: flux of one or more types of radiation<br />
• Save one rover for PR: just a camera & arm<br />
• LIDAR for dust settling (but ~100 lbs)<br />
• Mini-mass spectrometer (Carleton engineering, working with CSA – toaster sized)<br />
• Dost lofting at the terminator<br />
• Microwave sintering experiment; before & after shots, “lunar fire pit”<br />
• Reactivity of lunar dust: measuring oxidation state<br />
• ChemMin – XRD, XRF<br />
• APXS<br />
• Trenches, stratigraphy, look for permafrost<br />
• GPR, stratigraphy, look for permafrost<br />
• Study carbon (meteorite implanted) in regolith<br />
• Lunar volatiles<br />
• Geophysics (seismics, part of International lunar network) <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Landing sites:''' near south pole, permanently shadowed + sunlit areas, spanning to terminator “The D” – recently outgassing volcano<br />

<br />
''The Moon Shines on all the Earth''<br />
<br />
The Open Luna Foundation aims to return mankind to the moon through private enterprise. Initial goals focus on a stepped program of robotic missions coupled with extensive public relations and outreach. Following these purely robotic missions, a short series of manned missions will construct a small, approximately 6 person settlement based on a location scouted by the robotic missions. This settlement will be open for anyone's use (private individuals to government agencies), provided they respect our ethical conduct and heritage policies.<br />
<br />
== About the X-Prize ==<br />
<br />
First note that we are not no, and do not ever plan on becoming a Google Lunar X-Prize team, even though we work with one. (and are open to working with others.) Having said that, The Google Lunar X PRIZE is a $30 million international competition to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth. Teams must be at least 90% privately funded and must be registered to compete by December 31, 2010. The first team to land on the Moon and complete the mission objectives will be awarded $20 million; the full first prize is available until December 31, 2012. After that date, the first prize will drop to $15 million. The second team to do so will be awarded $5 million. Another $5 million will awarded in bonus prizes. The final deadline for winning the prize is December 31, 2014. More can be found at [http://www.googlelunarxprize.org GLXP website].

== About Open Luna ==<br />
<br />
The Open Luna Foundation aims to return mankind to the moon through private enterprise. Initial goals focus on a stepped program of robotic missions coupled with extensive public relations and outreach. Following these purely robotic missions, a short series of manned missions will construct a small, approximately 6 person settlement based on a location scouted by the robotic missions. This settlement will be open for anyone's use (private individuals to government agencies), provided they respect our ethical conduct and heritage policies. Please see our [[Mission_Overview]]<br />
<br />
== About the X-Prize ==<br />
<br />
The Google Lunar X PRIZE is a $30 million international competition to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth. Teams must be at least 90% privately funded and must be registered to compete by December 31, 2010. The first team to land on the Moon and complete the mission objectives will be awarded $20 million; the full first prize is available until December 31, 2012. After that date, the first prize will drop to $15 million. The second team to do so will be awarded $5 million. Another $5 million will awarded in bonus prizes. The final deadline for winning the prize is December 31, 2014. More can be found at [http://www.googlelunarxprize.org Sponsor's Website]. See our plan to win as [[Mission_X]]<br />

Okay so I made a [[Mission_Overview]] page to link all the mission. I also added a Mission X which is just about winning the X-Prize. I copied the Mission plan from the main openluna page which is a great plan to colonize the moon. But if we want the x-prize winnings to help fund the other steps, then the first mission has to be focused on the X-prize and its requirements. Mission-X and Mission-1 may end up the same, but I think it should be left open at this time.</div>Debileehttp://openluna.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_PageMain Page2008-08-03T02:15:57Z<p>Debilee: /* About the X-Prize */</p>

Long Term Mission Plan<br />
<br />
[[Mission X]] - Win the Google Lunar X-prize<br />
<br />
[[Mission 1]]<br />
Google Lunar X-Prize clone-like rovers, delivered by a single lander. The lander will "hop" around to deposit the rovers, similar to an upside down Pez-dispenser.<br />
<br />
Missions 2-3<br />
The locations for these sample return missions will be determined by the rovers from Mission 1. We plan for 50-100kg of samples and a rover that can hang around indefinitely "prospecting" and gathering information. The landing is planned for the southern pole. We will be looking for water, He-3, and a good location for a future shelter and outpost. Land will be claimed for the project (see growing and evolving discussion of lunar and other non-Earthly land ownership debates/policies). Place at minimum one communications satellite in orbit with the first launch. At least two of these missions are planned to give a good spread of target areas and rigorously test the technology. Rock samples will be returned to Western Ontario University and, after being safely cleared, then distributed to those who requested them or auctioned. Profits from this and other income opportunities will be used to fund the next mission. Media opportunities will include auctioning samples, contests to include students at various levels, naming rights as appropriate, documentary rights, etc.<br />
<br />
Mission 4<br />
Presuming satisfactory site characteristics, tests, and technology development, this mission will be manned. A person with a lunar "tent" will stay as long as safely feasible, testing technology and preparing the site for future construction. This first manned lander will be named "Tranquility" in honor of Apollo 11 (and Firefly/Serenity). Formal announcement of outpost construction plans for Mission 5. Development of licensed merchandise, mock and real space/surface suits, other things as they are thought of.<br />
<br />
Mission 5<br />
Launch up to five astronauts (as many as possible given technology and supplies). Bring shelter materials as determined by Mission 4 and spend approximately one day building an outpost. If feasible and safe, leave a volunteer on the surface. Announce the completion of the outpost and offer reservations and use to NASA, ESA, JAXA, other space agencies, and private individuals and organizations.<br />
Further Plans<br />
Develop mining, a scientific outpost, in-situ life support as quickly as possible. Work with SpaceX to improve launch capabilities.<br />

Question = How do we make new pages? Answer = As per the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide], just type a new URL in...<br />
<br />
Okay so I made a mission_overview page to link all the mission. I also added a Mission X which is just about winning the X-Prize. I copied the Mission plan from the main openluna page which is a great plan to colonize the moon. But if we want the x-prize winnings to help fund the other steps, then the first mission has to be focused on the X-prize and its requirements. Mission-X and Mission-1 may end up the same, but I think it should be left open at this time.</div>Debileehttp://openluna.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mission_1Mission 12008-08-03T01:53:58Z<p>Debilee: New page: move stuff from the main page</p>

Long Term Mission Plan<br />
<br />
Mission X - Win the Google Lunar X-prize<br />
<br />
Mission 1<br />
Google Lunar X-Prize clone-like rovers, delivered by a single lander. The lander will "hop" around to deposit the rovers, similar to an upside down Pez-dispenser.<br />
<br />
Missions 2-3<br />
The locations for these sample return missions will be determined by the rovers from Mission 1. We plan for 50-100kg of samples and a rover that can hang around indefinitely "prospecting" and gathering information. The landing is planned for the southern pole. We will be looking for water, He-3, and a good location for a future shelter and outpost. Land will be claimed for the project (see growing and evolving discussion of lunar and other non-Earthly land ownership debates/policies). Place at minimum one communications satellite in orbit with the first launch. At least two of these missions are planned to give a good spread of target areas and rigorously test the technology. Rock samples will be returned to Western Ontario University and, after being safely cleared, then distributed to those who requested them or auctioned. Profits from this and other income opportunities will be used to fund the next mission. Media opportunities will include auctioning samples, contests to include students at various levels, naming rights as appropriate, documentary rights, etc.<br />
<br />
Mission 4<br />
Presuming satisfactory site characteristics, tests, and technology development, this mission will be manned. A person with a lunar "tent" will stay as long as safely feasible, testing technology and preparing the site for future construction. This first manned lander will be named "Tranquility" in honor of Apollo 11 (and Firefly/Serenity). Formal announcement of outpost construction plans for Mission 5. Development of licensed merchandise, mock and real space/surface suits, other things as they are thought of.<br />
<br />
Mission 5<br />
Launch up to five astronauts (as many as possible given technology and supplies). Bring shelter materials as determined by Mission 4 and spend approximately one day building an outpost. If feasible and safe, leave a volunteer on the surface. Announce the completion of the outpost and offer reservations and use to NASA, ESA, JAXA, other space agencies, and private individuals and organizations.<br />
Further Plans<br />
Develop mining, a scientific outpost, in-situ life support as quickly as possible. Work with SpaceX to improve launch capabilities.<br />
