Maybe some of you who are nearer to Italy than I will have a chance to
attend this years ILEWG conference.
Already it is number 9. Just seems like yesterday that I had posters up
in my office at NASA Ames for the first one.
Bernard Foing even dropped in one time to see what we had done with the
Lunar Prospector mission.
Here are some more links.

International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG)
What is ILEWG?
The International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG) is a public forum
sponsored by the world's space agencies to support "international cooperation
towards a world strategy for the exploration and utilization of the Moon
- our natural satellite" (International Lunar Workshop, Beatenberg (CH), June 1994).
The Forum is intended to serve three relevant groups:
1. actual members of the ILEWG, ie delegates and representatives of the
participating Space Agencies and organizations - allowing them to discuss
and possibly harmonize their draft concepts and plans in the spirit of the
Beatenberg Declaration
2. team members of the relevant space projects - allowing them to coordinate
their internal work according to the guidelines provided by the Charter of the ILEWG
3. members of the general public and of the Lunar Explorer's Society who are
interested and wish to be informed on the progress of the Moon projects and
possibly contribute their own ideas
The ILEWG Forum also hosts the Lunar Explorer's Society.

Welcome to the online home of the Lunar Explorers Society!
Working for a permanent presence of humanity on the Moon
The Lunar Explorers Society is an international space advocacy
organization that aims to promote the exploration of the Moon
for the benefit of humanity. We believe that the Moon is the
next and most important step in the human exploration of the
solar system. We are dedicated to help achieve this goal
through furthering international cooperation, outreach
activities and general enlightening of the public. In pursuing
this aim we hope to bring the best of humanity to the Moon,
and to bring the benefits of the Moon to all people on Earth
through a sustainable exploration process.
