Registry outreach began at the first ever UN Conference on Sustainable Lunar Activities as Samuel Jardine from Open Lunar’s Registry team participated in the proceedings and socialised the work that had been undertaken over the last two years with key stakeholders.
At Conference
International Astronautical Congress 2024
Building on successive rounds of 1-1 stakeholder engagement with a range of private, public, and related lunar stakeholders Open Lunar’s Registry team attended the IAC and brought together over 40 leaders from government, academic, space agency, scientific and commercial lunar space, and space-adjacent actors for our 'Responsible and Coordinated Operations in the Lunar and Cislunar Environment’ Workshop.
This groundbreaking session was made possible through collaboration with Sustainable Markets Initiative, The Karman Project, and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA).
Working in focused groups, participants tackled three core aspects of the proposed Lunar Registry: institutional frameworks, field operations, and technical implementation. These structured discussions revealed a compelling insight: despite representing different sectors and priorities, participants consistently emphasized the need for new ways to share lunar operations information. Drawing from the extensive feedback received, we've identified several potential paths for prototyping the registry next year.
UNCOPUOS 2024
Part of Open Lunar’s presence, in its capacity as a UNCOPUOS Permament Observer, at UNCOPUOS 2024 was to get further feedback from government, space agency and related stakeholders and explore the appetite for lunar information sharing mechanisms and the need for a Lunar Registry. We also made two statements to the plenary that can be found here;
Key takeaways were that information sharing mechanisms where a top priority for member states and observers, but that ensuring their neutrality was fundamental.
