1st Convention of Lunar Explorers
The 1st Convention of Lunar Explorers, organised by LUNEX , ILEWG and ESA, will be held Palais
de la Decouverte, Paris, on 8-10 March 2001. ESA’s SMART-1 mission to the Moon will be
presented to the public and the press. The Lunar Explorers Society (LUNEX ) is an international
organisation created in July 2000, which aims to promote the exploration of the Moon for the benefit
of humanity. LUNEX wants to bridge the gap between space agencies and the general public to promote
planetary exploration and space. The 1st Convention will allow the discussion of the science of the Moon,
technology, future utilisation of the Moon, lunar bases, public outreach and education, lunar and planetary
exploration, and the recommendations of Young Lunar Explorers.
For more information please visit the LUNEX website, where a copy of the Announcement and Call for Abstracts for the Convention can be found (See also “Call for abstracts for the LUNEX convention” ). There will be special grants for Young Lunar Explorers aged less than 35 years old (See also “Young Lunar Explorers special grants”)
The abstracts and grant requests should be submitted before 2 February to discussion@lunarexplorers.com and to dheather@so.estec.esa.nl
