We are excited to announce that the first IAF GNF 海角直播 Conversations Series on the topic of 鈥 Global Exploration Roadmap - Supplement August 2020, Lunar Surface Exploration Scenario Update 鈥 is organized by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and will be taking place on Wednesday 28 October at 14:00 CET!
This lecture will be held by Mr. Naoki Sato, Director of the 海角直播 Exploration System Technology Unit of JAXA 海角直播 Exploration Center and Chair of the International 海角直播 Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG).
On behalf of the International 海角直播 Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG), Mr. Sato will present the Supplement issue of the Global Exploration Roadmap (GER), and discuss how the space agencies are going to implement the scenario and the architecture described. The GER Supplement issued in August 2020 describes the latest mission scenario and architecture for human and robotic lunar surface missions and preparatory activities for Mars, and integrates renewed and emerging national plans and commercial capabilities among ISECG participating countries. First, the common sets of objectives for human lunar surface exploration have been coordinated and summarized into 12 objectives with rationale and performance measure target. Second, the architecture and campaign sequence, to realize the objectives, have been studied and coordinated into one scenario. As a result, the ISECG came to the conclusion to have three phases approach, which are:
- Phase 1: Boots on the Moon
- Phase 2: Expanding and Building
- Phase 3: Sustained Lunar Opportunities
