Lunar Mission One at Melbourne

Venue: Copland Theatre, Basement, Copland Theatre

Presenters: Mr David Iron

Lunar Mission One is an internationally crowd-funded effort to send an autonomous robotic lander to the Moon’s South Pole in 2024, to perform scientific experiments and leave a time capsule containing a permanent record of humanity. The lander will drill deep into the lunar surface, accessing rock samples up to 4.5 billion years old to reveal secrets about the early days of the solar system, and evaluate local conditions for a permanent manned base. This public lecture by David Iron, will introduce Lunar Mission One and its motivations, the scientific and social importance of the mission and the future of international space exploration.

David Iron is Founder of Lunar Missions Trust and a former Royal Navy Engineering Officer and advisor to national investment institutions, specialising in creating public-private partnerships.
