related to the Moon

The American Lunar Society

The American Lunar Society is a group dedicated to the continued study of Earth's moon. This is accomplished through both continued observation and attention to current research. Our goals also include the education of our youth through age-specific projects. ALS created the Lunar Study and Observing Certificate program which is now cosponsored by the Moon Society.


The Artemis Project/Artemis Society International

The Artemis Project
Artemis Society International

The Artemis Project is a privately financed commercial venture to establish a permanent, self-supporting manned lunar base.

Artemis Society International leads the non-profit element of the Artemis Project. ASI is an educational and scientific foundation set up to develop the Artemis Project, as a meeting ground for those helping to make it happen.


The Lunar Reclamation Society, Inc.

The Lunar Reclamation Society, Inc.

The Lunar Reclamation Society, Inc. , is an independent, non-profit, membership organization promoting "the expansion of the human economy through off-planet resources." Our stated purposes include, but are not limited to, those of the National Space Society, with whom we are freely associated for networking purposes, serving as its Milwaukee and SE Wisconsin chapter. Our focus is on the Moon: The group that gathered to organize the chapter in September of 1986 had diverse interests in space and different individual dreams as to what aspect of the space frontier they would each like to personally pioneer. But we all seemed to agree that an outpost on the Moon must come first as a gateway to everything else. Our activities center on production of our newsletter, Moon Miners' Manifesto, public outreach, and modest experiments with technologies needed on the lunar frontier.

The Lunar Research Institute

The Lunar Research Institute is The Lunar Research Institute is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation devoted to the exploration and utilization of the Moon for the benefit of Humankind. LRI had its beginnings with the innovative mission, Lunar Prospector, which produced by far the most in-depth scientific data of the Moon to date.


The Lunar Resource Company

The Lunar Resource Company

The Lunar Resources Company is organized to advance and engage in space flight as a commercial enterprise, to establish and operate a permanent manned lunar base, and to transact any and all lawful business--on Earth, in outer space, and on other celestial bodies--for which corporations may be incorporated under the Texas Business Corporation Act.

The Lunar National Agricultural Experiment Corporation

The Lunar National Agricultural Experiment Corporation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation devoted to the development of agricultural techniques and methodologies that are aimed at making a lunar settlement self-sustaining in food production. In pursuit of these goals, LUNAX devises simple experiments that can be done by secondary school students under supervision, to yield data that will aid college level investigators to design workable procedures. LUNAX formed as a spin-off of the Milwaukee Lunar Reclamation Society in 1991.


Moon Miners' Manifesto

Moon Miners' Manifesto

Moon Miners' Manifesto is a monthly newsletter, published continuously since December 1986, by the Lunar Reclamation Society, which serves as the SE Wisconsin Chapter of the National Space Society.

MMM serves several other NSS chapters, the members of Artemis Society International,  members of the Moon Society, and other space chapters.

Most issues of MMM contain speculative articles that deal with the opening of the Lunar frontier, suggesting how pioneers can make best use of local resources. Some of the points made will relate specifically to pioneer life in the lunar environment.


The Moon Society

The Moon Society

The Moon Society  is an international non-profit educational and scientific foundation formed to further scientific study and development of the moon.  We also serve as the membership organization for Artemis Society International.

P>The Oregon L5 Society

The Oregon L5 Society is a chapter of the National Space Society. Its Lunar Base Research Team ran the Oregon Moonbase Simulations project at a pair of lava tubes outside Bend, Oregon in the late 1980s and early 1990s. [1993 Article] LBRT continues to be prolific, producing high quality research papers for various conferences. ORL5 has partnered with Artemis Society International and the Moon Society since 1995.


Space Age Publishing Company

With its Lunar Enterprise Corporation subsidiary, Space Age advances and supports a wide variety of scientific, commercial and international lunar activities and enterprises &endash; such as the International Lunar Observatory &endash; consistent with a human return to the Moon within the decade. Space Age also promotes Hawaii Space Tours, Stanford on the Moon and the Ad Astra Kansas initiatives -- To The Stars.


The Space Settlement Initative

The Space Settlement Initative

The government cannot afford to spend the billions of dollars it will take to go back to the Moon to stay. Therefore, the capitalization will have to be raised from private enterprise, and the only way to interest investors in privately funded space development is to offer the possibility of a really huge profit if they succeed. The most potentially valuable asset on the Moon (and Mars) is the land itself, as real estate.

The Space Settlement Initiative explains how that huge potential value could be put to use, right now, as a powerful incentive for private investment in developing safe, reliable, affordable space transport.
