    • Some general info: 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, i.e. 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 (see below).
    2. Team members of the relevant space projects - allowing them to coordinate their internal work according to the guidelines provided by the ILEWG Charter (see below).
    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.

    ILEWG has been organising since 1994 ICEUM International Conferences on Exploration & Utilisation of the Moon with published proceedings, and where community declarations have been prepared and endorsed by community participants. ILEWG has co-organised and co-sponsored lunar sessions at EGU, COSPAR, EPSC; IAC. ILEWG task groups include science, technology, human aspects, socio-economics, young explorers and outreach, programmatics, roadmaps and synergies with Mars exploration, MoonBase, MoonVillage, EuroMoonMars, ArtMoonMars, Young Lunar Explorers, ILEWG Young Professional Grantees. ILEWG has also sponsored a number of activities, workshops, tasks groups and publications in collaborations with other organisations: COSPAR, space agencies, IAA, IAF, EGU. Besides the discussion forums, users can also obtain information on how to participate, as well as details on the latest news and events regarding lunar exploration, forthcoming meetings, relevant reports and documents of importance for the work of the ILEWG, summary descriptions of recent and future lunar exploration projects (such as SMART-1, Chang'E1-5 , Selene Kaguya, Chandrayaan-1-2, LRO, LCROSS), GRAIL, ARTEMIS, international lunar exploration projects) funded by various space agencies, and basic data on the Moon itself. Activities of the related space agencies and organizations can also be found. The ILEWG Forum also hosts the Lunar Explorer's Society.

    EuroMoonMars programme & field campaigns

    EuroMoonMars is an ILEWG programme following up ICEUM declarations as a collaboration between ILEWG, space agencies, academia, universities and research institutions and industries. The ILEWG EuroMoonMars programme includes research activities for data analysis, instruments tests and development, field tests in MoonMars analogue, pilot projects , training and hands-on workshops , and outreach activities. EuroMoonMars includes a programme of grants for Young Professional Researchers. Prof Bernard Foing (ILEWG Executive director, ESA ESTEC senior scientist, Prof VU Amsterdam) is EuroMoonMars programme manager. EuroMoonMars field campaigns have been organised in specific locations of technical, scientific and exploration interest. Field tests have been conducted in ESTEC, EAC, at Utah MDRS station , Eifel, Rio Tinto, Iceland, La Reunion, LunAres base at Pila Poland , and HiSEas base in Hawaii. These were organised by ILEWG in partnership with ESTEC, VU Amsterdam, NASA Ames, GWU in Utah MDRS (EuroGeoMars 2009, and then yearly for EuroMoonMars 2010-2013). Other EuroMoonMars analogue field campaigns using selected instruments from ExoGeoLab suite were conducted in other MoonMars extreme analogues such as Eifel volcano, Rio Tinto, Iceland, La Reunion, Hawaii. Latest campaigns have been conducted jointly between EuroMoonMars –International MoonBase Alliance –HiSeas (EMMIHS). EuroMoonMars field campaigns started with EuroGeoMars2009 (Utah MDRS, 24 Jan-1 Mar 2009) with ILEWG, ESA ESTEC , NASA Ames, VU Amsterdam , GWU and continued with yearly EuroMoonMars Field campaigns in Utah (2010-2014), and in other Moon-Mars terrestrial analogues (Eifel volcanic area, Rio Tinto, Iceland, La Reunion, LunAres base in Poland , and HiSEAS base in Hawaii).

    EMMIHS campaigns (EuroMoonMars-IMA International Moonbase Alliance- HiSEAS)

    EuroMoonMars 2018-19 supported field campaigns at IMA HISEAS base on Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii . The Hawaii - Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) habitat is located at 8,200’ (2,500 meters) in elevation on the largest mountain in the world, Mauna Loa, on the Big Island of Hawai'i. As of 2018, the International Moonbase Alliance (IMA), an organization dedicated to building sustainable settlements on the Moon, has been organising regular simulated missions to the Moon, Mars or other planetary bodies at HI-SEAS. The constraints for these missions depend on which planetary body the mission is simulating to be on. For instance, for lunar missions the time delay in communications is only of a few seconds, which is nearly negligible for EVAs and other activities. In 2019, the EuroMoonMars campaign was launched at HI-SEAS, bringing together researchers from the European Space Agency, VU Amsterdam, the International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG) and IMA. Six scientists, engineers, journalists and photographers spent two weeks at the HI-SEAS station performing research relevant to both the Moon and Mars there. The campaign aims to increase the awareness about the research and technology testing that can be performed in analogue environments, in order to help humans become multiplanetary species. Furthermore, the research and technological experiments conducted at HI-SEAS are going to be used to help build a Moonbase in Hawai’i, and ultimately to create an actual Moonbase on the Moon, as part of IMA’s major goals.

    ILEWG EuroMoonMars Pilot projects: ExoGeoLab, ExoHab, ExoLab
    The ExoGeoLab research incubator project, has started in the frame of a collaboration between ILEWG [3] (International Lunar Exploration working Group http://sci.esa.int/ilewg), ESTEC and partners, supported by a design and control desk in the European Space Incubator (ESI), as well as infrastructure. The ExoGeoLab lander was designed and built by ILEWG and Google Lunar X=prize team White Label Space. The ExoGeoLab lander and suite of instruments were brought for a test campaign at Eifel volcano park in Germany in 2009 (EuroMoonMars 2009), and more recently in 2015 & 2016. The ExogeoLab lander was also used in Lunares campaign in 2017, and in Igluna campaign on Zermatt glaciar in June 2019. Various phases were tested for a robotic lander mission (rover deployment, lander inspection , instruments remote operations, lander + 2 rovers cooperative operations, sample collection and analysis) as well as possible operations during Extravehicular activity astronaut simulations .

    ExoHab
    We studied concepts for a minimal Moon-Mars habitat, in focussing on the system aspects and coordinating every different part as part an evolving architecture. We validated experimentally the Habitat and Laboratory ExoHab concept constraints during EuroGeoMars and EuroMoonMars field campaigns . The ILEWG ExoHab concept studies and field simulations prepare the specifics of human exploration, with focus on habitability and human performance. In the ExoHab pilot concept project (supported by ILEWG, ESA NASA), we justify the case for a scientific and exploration outpost allowing experiments, sample analysis in laboratory (relevant to the origin and evolution of planets and life, geophysical and geo-chemical studies, astrobiology and life sciences, observation sciences, technology demonstration, resource utilisation, human exploration and settlement). In this modular concept, we consider various infra structure elements: core habitat, Extra Vehicular activity (EVA), crew mobility, energy supply, recycling module, communication, green house and food production, operations. This is relevant to studies from space agencies’ architecture proposals, with landers, orbiters, rovers, habitats, surface operations and protocols. We focus on the easiest and the soonest way in settling a minimal base immediately operational in scientific experimentation and exploration, but not immediately autonomous. Through a modular concept, this outpost will be possibly evolved into a long duration or permanent base.

    EuroMoonMars IGLUNA 2019 contributions
    IGLUNA is the first ESA_Lab interuniversity demonstrator project, and is hosted by the Swiss Space Centre (SSC) with the vision to create an analogue habitat inside lunar ice caps. 18 student teams from 9 countries across Europe will develop modular demonstrators that will be constructed and tested in the field test in June 2019. This field test was conducted inside the moon-like extreme environment of the Glacier Palace inside the Matterhorn glacier from 17 - 30 June 2019. During these two weeks, all the student demonstrators were combined to make a 36m2 human habitat. The Glacier Palace was open for the public during the tests, so that visitors have the opportunity to observe or even participate in the experiments. Building a habitat in ice on the moon has several large advantages; besides not having to bring a large, pressurized habitable structure, water (ice) is a great insulator for cosmic radiation and radiation from the Sun. Furthermore, a close proximity of water is of high priority to enlarge the chances of human survival, as water is essential for life, but it can also be used to produce oxygen, as fuel, and energy storage. Lastly, building a covered or subterranean on the moon also protects against micrometeorites or dust storms from landing rockets or large nearby impacts.
