The International MoonBase Summit (IMS) will convene a team of leading scientists, educators and entrepreneurs, from s
pace agencies and industries worldwide, to advance the development and implementation of an international base on the Moon. The IMS delegates will focus on identifying essential resources and technological capabilities required to enable and sustain lunar-based operations. Through the promotion of international collaborations, and public-private partnerships we can reduce costs, enhance benefits and accelerate timetables for lunar settlements. We will build on discussions and recommendations from the Lunar Exploration and Analysis Group (LEAG), the European Lunar Symposium, the International Space Development Conference, the NewSpace Symposium, the International Astronautical Congress (IAC), and other space forums worldwide, to formulate an integrated strategy for establishing the proposed multinational lunar base. We also will demonstrate why Hawaii is one of the best places on Earth to develop a prototype Moon Base. The IMS will conclude with the formation of an International MoonBase Alliance (IMA), comprised of representatives from our Summit working groups. IMA will continue to pursue the resources and milestones identified during the Summit, as well as oversee and facilitate the design and development of a prototype lunar base in Hawaii to both enable and support international operations on the Moon.
