The NASA Lunar Science Institute is developing a partnership program
with other international science organizations to provide collaborative
opportunities for its researchers within the global science community.
International partners are invited to participate in all aspects of the
Institute’s activities and programs, on a no-exchange-of-funds basis.
The first three NLSI Affiliate partners are:
• Canada: Gordon Osinski, University of Western Ontario.
• South Korea: Y.T. Im, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
• United Kingdom: Mahesh Anand, Open University.
International Partnerships
NASA LUNAR SCIENCE INSTITUTETHE SCIENCEOF THE MOON: Investigations of the nature and history of the Moon (including research on lunar samples) to learn about this specific object and thereby provide insights into the evolution of our solar system.
ON THE MOON: Investigations of the effects of the lunar environment on terrestrial life and the equipment that supports lunar inhabitants, and the effects of robotic and human presence on the lunar environment.
FROM THE MOON: Use of the Moon as a platform for performing scientific investigations, including observa-tions of the Earth and other celestial phenomena that are uniquely enabled by being on the lunar surface.
carrying out and supporting collaborative research in lunar science, investigating the Moon itself and using the Moon as a unique platform for other investigations;
providing scientific and technical perspectives to NASA on its lunar research programs, including developing investigations for current and future space missions;
supporting development of the lunar science community and training the next generation of lunar science researchers; and
supporting Education and Public Outreach by providing scientific content for K-14 education programs, and communicating directly with the public.
