Mexico
Logo to be developed	* Mexican Space Society - SEM - Sociedad Espacial Mexicana The Moon Society has helped the Mexican Space to further develop its MexLunarHab analog moonbase proposal The Moon Society has worked with SEM to put together an exciting low budget proposal [English - Inglés | Español - Spanish] for the newly created Mexian Space Agency - [AEXA - Agencia Espacial Mexicana. A March 2008 conference in Mexico City is expected to give this proposal major support.

The Moon Society also benefits from the partnership status
of the following local organizations

OR- Greater Portland
	Oregon L5 Society (NSS) Began partnering with Artemis Society International in 1994 when ASI was first founded. [The newly formed Moon Society took over membership services from ASI in July, 2000] This NSS Chapter has a strong focus on the Moon (and a second focus on Mars) and operated the Oregon Moonbase at a pair of lava tubes outside Bend, Oregon in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Oregon Lunar Base Research Team (LBRT) and Oregon L5 Research Team (ORL5RT) have produced many papers presented at various space conferences. Three Oregon L5 members, Tom Billings, Bryce Walden, and Cheryl York are on the Moon Society Board of Advisors. All OR L5 chapter members get Moon Miners' Manifesto.
WI - Greater Milwaukee
	Lunar Reclamation Society (NSS) Began partnering with Artemis Society International in 1995, after ASI founder Gregory Bennett was LRS' Science Guest of Honor at the local First Contact Science Fiction convention in Milwaukee that September. Moon Miners' Manifesto, a publication of LRS, began serving ASI members two months later with the November issue, MMM #90. LRS was the first fully merged L5 Society/National Space Institute chapter two months before those two organizations merged at ISDC 1987 on March 27, 1987 to become the National Space Society LRS contributed the first $1400, or 20%, of the rent needed for the Moon Society to use the Mars Desert Research Station for two weeks, February 26-March 12, 2006. Current LRS President and MMM Editor Peter Kokh was elected Moon Society President in 2004, and reelected in 2006.
MN - Minneapolis-St. Paul
	Minnesota Space Frontier Society (NSS) Twenty years ago, several members of MN SFS (then "L5 Minnesota"), along with several more from the Chicago chapter (both chapters of the L5 Society at the time, organized the meeting of Wisconsin L5 Society members in a Milwaukee hotel room on Saturday, August 23, 1986 that resulted in the birth of Milwaukee Lunar Reclamation Society. All three chapters have maintained close ties ever since. MNSFS has a strong focus on both Mars and the Moon. MNSFS member Ben Huset, who had been at that 1986 meeting, was directly responsible for getting Peter Kokh on his first crew assignment to the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, when they served together on Crew #34, a refit (not a research) team, February 6-20, 2005. This gave Peter the familiarity with MDRS that was needed to plan the Moon Society's first moonbase simulation the following year. (Moon Society site | Mars Society site #Crew 45) Minnesota Space Frontier Society came aboard as a Moon Society Local Partner organization shortly after the 2006 moonbase exercises, in which Ben Huset also participated. MNSFS member Tom Greenwalt administers the Moon Society Blog. MNSFS also hosts the MDRS webcams. All MN SFS chapter members get Moon Miners' Manifesto.
Alberta, Canada - Calgary
	Calgary Space Workers This dynamic group, in the largest Canadian urban area between Vancouver and Toronto, works together with the NSS-affiliated Calgary Space Frontier Society Chapter. Together they include four members who get MMM either directly from LRS or through Moon Society membership. CSW is well into the ambitious project of creating a mobile-modular lunar analog research station. They are currently reoutfitting a used 31 ft. Airstream travel trailer as their command module. Additional inflatable modules are planned. They have also identified an ideal location in "Dinosaur Valley" near Drumheller, Alberta, 90 miles NE of Calgary. Another project is creation of simulated lunar regolith. CSW wishes to partner with the Moon Society in a Lunar Analog Research Station program. What they learn as they make progress will benefit us substantially, and we have an open invitation to participate. CSW and the Moon Society agreed on this collaboration on October 8, 2006.
