<div>== '''[[Mission 1]]''' ==<br />
<br />
[[Scout Class]] rover missions<br />
<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 Candy dispenser. The lander will return to a centralized high point and start operating as a radio relay, and will also contain a web and e-mail server. -- '''NOTE: this will NOT be a [[GLXP]] mission.''' <br />
<br />
'''Scout Rovers Income''' is generated when they are teleoperated by earthbound web surfers for hundreds of dollars a minute paid by credit card. MoonDrivers will be remotely monitored to protect the rovers.<br />
<br />
'''Communications satellite'''(s) placed in orbit with the first launch and subsequent when possible.<br />
<br />
== '''[[Mission 2]]''' ==<br />
[[Sampler Class]] rover missions<br />
<br />
'''Locations''' for Sampler rover missions will be determined by the Scout rovers of Mission 1. We plan for 50-100kg of samples and a Long Endurance Rover that "prospects" and gathers information. The landing is planned for the Shackleton Crater at the lunar southern pole. We will be looking for water, other useful resources, and a good location for a future shelter and outpost. At least two of these missions are planned to give a good spread of target areas and rigorously test the technology.<br />
<br />
'''LunarLand''' will be claimed for the project (see growing and evolving discussion of lunar and other non-Earthly land ownership debates/policies). Our presence on Luna gives us claiming rights and subsequent huge, (justified), real estate deeds transactions profits which will be applied to mission expenses. Realtors and lawyers are required early.<br />
<br />
'''MoonRock samples''' will be returned to Western Ontario University for a hefty "shipping and handling fee." After being safely cleared, will be distributed to those who requested them or sold at international auction. <br />
<br />
'''MoonRock Income''' and other income opportunities will be used to fund the next mission. <br />
<br />
Media opportunities will include auctioning samples, contests to include students at various levels, naming rights as appropriate, documentary rights, etc.<br />
<br />
== '''[[Mission 3]]''' ==<br />
[[Pathfinder Class]] solo human missions<br />
<br />
When the HabSite is ready and all tests, and technology developments are satisfactory we will begin manned M3 missions. One person with a lunar "tent" will stay as long as feasible, testing technology and evaluating and preparinging sites for future construction. The first manned lander will be named "Tranquility" in honor of Apollo 11 (and Firefly/Serenity)(and Aldrin and Armstrong and Collins?).<br />
<br />
Test and operate the [[Explorer Bobcat]] general purpose rover/backhoe/forklift/grader etc. which will play the central role in M4 site prep.<br />
<br />
Formal announcement of outpost construction plans for Mission 4.<br />
<br />
''Development of licensed merchandise'' mock and real space/surface suits, other things as they are thought of.<br />
<br />
== '''[[Mission 4]]''' ==<br />
[[Explorer Class]] Human crew establishment missions<br />
<br />
Launch up to five astronauts (as many as possible given technology and supplies). Bring shelter materials and grade the site for a simple hab tank outpost. Construction workers wanted.<br />
<br />
Bury basic [[Lunar lodge]] hab tank >3 meters deep for protection from cosmic rays.<br />
<br />
When it becomes feasible, leave a volunteer live human being Living on the Moon between MoonRuns.<br />
<br />
Publicize this major human epochal event! This is when the skyrockets go off and the funding will avalanche!<br />
<br />
<br />
== '''[[Mission 5]]''' == <br />
Pioneer (?good name?) Class station construction missions.<br />
<br />
Add modules to the outpost<br />
<br />
Rent facilities to NASA, ESA, JAXA and other space agencies and to private individuals and organizations with big funding. Talk about a niche market!<br />
<br />
'''Life support improvents''' as quickly as possible.<br />
<br />
'''Micro-gardens''' for oxygen enrichment and research and enjoyment. Improve and add more hab tanks for crew and customer comfort.<br />
<br />
'''Develop Lunar Research''' Labs and Lunar Mining with strict controls. Create Lunarscape Law precedents to prevent the exportation of commercial blight to outer Space.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Flight Plans]]'''<br />
Work with a launch provider to improve launch and landing capabilities.<br />
Since all the missions are going to the same place ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon The Moon]), each will require a similar flight plan with the one way delivery only missions being truncated.<br />
<br />
'''[[Where to go first]]'''<br />
<br />
The Moon is a big place, and we can only work a small area first. The current thinking is Shackleton crater, but, either prove us wrong, or help us with our argument. Tell us exactly where to land first.<br />
<br />
'''[[Engineering and Science Goals]]'''<br />
<br />
What will we do when we get there? Just going to build an outpost is certainly a reasonable goal, but, there really needs to be more, or it will be another Skylab. We want, no, need a reason to continue, to keep striving for more. So, Come, please, tell us what you want to do, what science you want to see done. (Only ideas you can participate in please...)<br />

== Long Range Lunar Development ==<br />
Buzz Aldrin said "The moon is dead and uninhabitable but may serve as a way station on the journey to Mars." [Featured Speaker, [[ISDC]], 2009] He meant that Luna can't support life the way Mars eventually will, so ''The moon doesn't offer a homesteading opportunity''. Think Antarctica or the Greenland Icecap, anyplace where the residents would not survive without external resupply. <br />
<br />
Think Research Outpost and Tourist opportunity but not much more. Hey, we can fund missions with tourism income! [[User:Navigaiter|Navigaiter]]<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 - 10 person [[outpost]] based on a location scouted by the robotic missions. This [[outpost]] will be open for anyone's use (private individuals to government agencies), provided they respect our [[ethical conduct]] and [[cultural heritage]] policies.<br />

<br />
''Your Moon. Your mission. Get involved.''<br />
<br />
Please look at the [[People needed]] list. We certainly can use your help, because this is ''[[your mission]]''... Not NASA, Not CSA, no big corporation, ''YOURS''.<br />
<br />
For more general discussion or question asking, look in the discussion page first. You should also read all of the existing pages before starting any new ones. (Start with '''[[Mission_Plan]]''') You should also look in the discussion pages before editing anything. (Edit with care. Read the '''[[Equipment design standards]]''', [[editing protocols]], the discussion pages for your topic and the [[Mission_Plan]] before editing anything.)<br />
<br />
You should also note that we are breaking out some '''[[individual components]]''' here.<br />
<br />
'''OL Science Team''' meetings will commence in Feb 2009. Please contact Melissa (contact info at [http://www.openluna.org/bios.shtml]) if you have relevant expertise & would like to participate in future meetings. Meeting notes will be posted here: [[OpenLuna Science]].<br />
<br />

== About the Google Lunar X-Prize ==<br />
<br />
First note that we are not now, and do not ever plan on becoming a Google Lunar X-Prize team, even though we work with two. (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]. In case they change the rules, see our plan to win as [[Mission_X]] But also see [[GLXP]] as to why we will not enter unless they do so.<br />
