Cislunar Exploration: Challenges and Opportunities – Online Short Course

Through May 11, Four instructors convene this class because current USA / international / commercial mission plans, both crewed and uncrewed, will be challenged by multiple new hurdles, including regulatory, habitat, mining, and navigation and positioning. This course aims to present a few key challenges related to the return to the Moon and beyond that are often sidelined. It is intended for students and professionals seeking to understand select challenges of the new space era and what the return to the Moon truly entails. The course is particularly suited to those in the broader aerospace community having limited familiarity with cislunar space and the new commercial space sector.

Every Monday and Wednesday, April 27 – May 11 (5 Lectures/Classes, 10 Total Hours), the class will meet live 13:00-15:00 EDT | 17:00-19:00 UTC | 09:00-11:00 HST, but all sessions will be recorded and available for replay; course notes will be available for download.

We are going back to the Moon… learn about the meaning of this endeavor for spacefaring countries, and how sustained presence on another celestial body is more than just a technical challenge.

All students will receive an AIAA Certificate of Completion at the end of the course.
