3. With four active lunar missions
and
a robust 21st Century Education program,
ILOA continues to establish its position
as a leader in the field of Observation /
Astronomy from the Moon.

4. ILOA - 4 Missions
ILO-1 Polar Mission ILO-X Precursor Mission
(NET 2015) (NLT 2014)
ILO – Chang'e 3 Galaxy ILO Human Service
Imaging (2013) Mission

5. These four missions will allow the International ILOA
Science Team - and through the Galaxy Forum,
schools, teachers, and students - the opportunity to
observe the Galaxy / Stars, local lunar environment
and Earth with various wavelengths and from
various lunar locations...
helping to secure Hawai`i leadership in
Astronomy for the next 100 years.

6. ILO-1: Observation & Communication
From the Lunar South Pole

7. Lunar South Pole – Kaguya

8. Primary and Secondary ILO
Mission Objectives:
 First Light Galaxy Imaging
 Initial landing site observation, local surveillance
 Earth observations: albedo, geocorona, etc.
 Search for Earth-like planets
 Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI)
 Analyze interstellar molecules to determine origin of
Solar System
 VLF observation
 Observe signs of life on Mars, Europa, Titan, etc.
 Search for dangerous NEOs
 Sun-Earth observations, solar storm warnings
 More

11. Why Galaxy Education, Consciousness &
Awareness Are Important for the 21st Century:
 General Education – for primary, secondary higher, and
highest education: Knowledge, understanding of humanity’s
place in the Universe – our Milky Way Galaxy occupies a mid-
position domain between Solar System finiteness and Cosmos
infinity
 Higher Education: Astrophysics / Astronomy – Galaxy
studies internationally are of increasing interest and value;
study of our local stellar neighborhood for familiarity; center /
central 10 parsecs with supermassive black hole is most
dynamic region of Milky Way
 History of Human Civilization / Archaeoastronomy
NASA, World Space Agencies – 21st Century Program and
Policy Development Advance through Galaxy understanding
Galacticity – may be as important for the 21st Century, as is
Relativity to 20th
