Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium 2023 Fall Meeting

The LSIC 2023 Fall Meeting will be held October 10th -11th at the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC), just down the road from Astrobotic (https://www.astrobotic.com/) and the Moonshot Museum (https://moonshotmuseum.org/).

The focus will be on the United States, NASA, and Space Tech’s vision for enabling the development of resilient lunar infrastructure at the South Pole of the Moon during Artemis. This fall’s Keynote speakers will be Prasun Desai, NASA STMD Acting Associate Administrator (Day 1) and A.C. Charania, NASA Chief Technologist (Day 2).

Panels, discussions, and working sessions will include topics such as minimum viable infrastructure, tele-robotics, autonomous robotics and activities, repurposing/re-using initial materials for evolving lunar infrastructure, and/or keeping tabs on technical systems health. Tours will also be available of the Moonshot Museum and at some of Carnegie Mellon University’s labs yielding lunar surface technologies (e.g., the Iris and MoonRanger rovers, their development high bay and Moon Yard, as well as their Mission Control and clean room).
