Team White Label Space was formed back in early 2008 by a group of experienced space professionals inspired by the challenge of the Google Lunar X PRIZE. With a strong background in space engineering and knowledge of the costs involved, the group realized that there were numerous global companies that could finance a Google Lunar X PRIZE mission with less than 10% of their yearly advertising expenditure.

The Lunar Explorers Society (Lunex) handed out the "Best Young Lunar Explorers Paper Award" for 2007 during the 9th International Conference on Exploration and Utilization of the Moon (ICEUM9), to a team from the 2007 Alpbach Summer School program.

[Lunar Explorers Society Press Release - 25.10.2007]
The Lunar Explorers Society (Lunex) was awarded the Young Lunar Explorers Award at the 9th International Conference on the Exploration and Utilization of the Moon (ICEUM9), October 24th 2007. Lunex was nominated and elected as the winner of the award by the International Program Committee of IECUM9.

The prize was awarded to Lunex because of its work to involve young people in lunar exploration. In the last year Lunex has resumed its activities after a few years of inactivity, and has successfully organized workshops, tutorials, brainstorming sessions and conference sessions for young lunar explorers on several conferences around the world. It has also supported several young lunar explorers to attend the ICEUM9 this year.

The Lunar Explorers Society will be present at this years Space Generation Congress (SGC) in Hyderabad, India. Together with the SGC, Lunex will organise a workshop called "Lunar Explorers Society", where we will look at how Lunex best can organise its upcoming role at the ICEUM9/ILC'07 conference in Sorrento, Italy. We will also invite the workshop participants to come with ideas for the future of Lunex; how we can improve our website, how we can recruit more members, etc.

The Lunar Explorers Society has been present at the 11th annual ISU symposium. Out of the thirteen people that got together at IAC in Valencia and agreed to pick up the work of Lunex, three were present at ISU. This was the first public appearance of Lunex in many years, and marks the revival of the Society!

A small group of people attending the symposium have been invited to join to Lunex, to test and give feedback about the brand new internet based infrastructure. A broader recruitment approach will be done in the aftermath of the symposium, when we have confirmed the good functionality of our infrastructure.

The new website for the Lunar Explorers Society is currently under construction.

We are working as hard as we can in order to bring you a top quality site that includes many new features.

This section will contain the latest breaking news from the space industry, agencies and academia.

Keep checking back for more updates!
