Moon Zoo
A citizen science project around classifying high resolution images of craters and various parts of the lunar surface taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) via the Planetary Data System (PDS). From billion-year-old volcanic eruptions and curving lava channels to recent asteroid impacts, the images you [...]
CSTART
The Collaborative Space Travel and Research Team (CSTART) is a non-government, non-profit, collaborative space agency whose mission is is to organize and finance the efforts of space enthusiasts around the world who are interested in using collaborative design, volunteer labor, innovative, low-cost technology and open data sharing [...]
Team FREDNET
Team FREDNET is an open source, open participation and officially registered competitor in the Google Lunar X PRIZE. Everybody regardless of background and past experience can join the effort and contribute with whatever they can contribute with. There is always room and need for one more. [...]
Open Luna Foundation
A stepped program of robotic missions that seek to return mankind to the lunar surface, and to do it in such a way that it is accessible to everyone. The Open Luna Foundation is open source and invites everyone (hardware providers, writers, wiki-editors, designers, etc.) to contribute and share what you want to do and [...]
Google Lunar X PRIZE
The Google Lunar X PRIZE is a $30 million international competition to safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth. Teams must be at least 90% privately funded and must be registered to compete by December 31, 2010. The first team to [...]
NASA Great Moonbuggy Race
The 17th Annual Great Moonbuggy Race will be held April 9-10, 2010 in Huntsville, Alabama, at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. Participating students will design a vehicle that addresses a series of engineering problems that are similar to problems faced by the original Moonbuggy team. [...]
Moon Work
Design tools and instrumentation packages for the next generation manned moon rover. The NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, the Exploration Technology Development Program, and the Advanced Planning and Partnership Office at Langley Research Center encourage college students to get involved with NASA’s return to the Moon by helping to design the tools and instrument [...]
Life and Work on the Moon
An art and design contest sponsored by NASA that invites high school and college students to submit their work on the theme “Life and Work on the Moon”. Artists/designers are encouraged to collaborate with science and engineering students. Such collaboration is not required, but would help to ensure that the art is valid for [...]
Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge
An incentive competition designed to accelerate technology developments supporting the commercial creation of a vehicle capable of ferrying cargo or humans back and forth between lunar orbit and the lunar surface. Such a vehicle would have direct application to space exploration goals as well as the personal spaceflight industry. Additionally, the prize will help industry to [...]
LCROSS Amateur Observation Campaign
A NASA mission to search for water on the moon needs help from citizen scientists with 10-12″ aperture telescopes to observe a lunar impact in early October. The project is actively asking for you to send in your images of the impact.These images will provide a valuable addition to the archive of data chronicling the impact and its aftermath. [...]
Regolith Excavation Challenge
The Regolith Excavation Challenge allows citizen inventors to participate by applying their talents to develop innovative solutions and new technologies to efficiently excavate lunar regolith.
The project is designed to promote the development of mechanical designs to excavate lunar regolith. [...]
