Anna Shaposhnik is proposing the funding of a small deployable stabilizing camera capsule for capturing 3rd person point of view of rocket deployment and the fall to Earth. The project is unique for its compact size and use of common off-the-shelf hardware. This project is a technology step in her company ORBES (https://orbes.space) larger vision of providing new ways to document space projects. Problem Rockets and satellites don't have a 3rd person POV, yet visual imagery is one of the most important exports from space missions. Blue Origin is among the first to give us stunning 360 view of...

We want to tell exciting space stories through videos so more people can learn about space and feel inspired. Think of it like making a space TV show that follows real people, real missions, and real experiences—so anyone, even a kid, can understand and get excited about space.

We are organizing a series of space-focused community events in Florianópolis to help Brazilian entrepreneurs and builders understand that working on lunar settlement is realistic and within reach. The program includes 3 Space Day/Night meetups (30 people each) leading up to Space Week in October 2026 — our third year running this initiative. The main event is a dedicated MoonDAO Track inside the official NASA Space Apps Challenge Florianópolis (October 3–4, 2026, at Founder Haus in Jurerê). During the events, core MoonDAO team members will give clear talks on space technology, lunar settlem...

Imagine girls in Colombia dreaming of space but never seeing women like them building rockets. ACMA will fund 3 all-women student teams to compete in Colombia's national rocketry contest (CCCD 2026), giving them training, gear, and a shot at the stars. With $4,600 USDC, we'll launch young Latinas into STEM, connecting them to MoonDAO's multiplanetary future.

We will design a simulation tabletop game that will be used as a tabletop exercise at workshops, universities, and conferences. Participants would step into the role of a government or commercial space company operating in a future lunar economy. The simulation will also include a Lunar Development Cooperative (LDC), which aims to create hubs on the Moon serving LDC members who all follow shared standards and rules of conduct.

Voyaj connects people from around the globe for one-on-one meaningful exchanges to foster global understanding and peace. Our mission drives us forward daily. As such, Voyaj proposes hosting a large-scale Voyaj event in San Francisco in Spring 2026 featuring Inspiration4 astronaut Chris Sembroski in conversation with students from College Track, a leading college‑completion nonprofit serving first‑generation scholars from under‑resourced communities, founded by Loraine Jobbs. https://collegetrack.org/ This Voyaj event will bring together Chris’s lived experience of spaceflight, risk, resilien...

The purpose of this project is to support MoonDAO and its community in creating more meaningful and productive connections and collaborations via a custom-built member matching bot initiated in Discord.

We want to run a workshop where university students imagine how people might organize and make decisions in space. Instead of teaching them the rules that exist today, we give them tools to think creatively. Students from ecology, regenerative systems, climate justice, and law will explore ideas like: How do communities on Earth share forests or water fairly? How does nature reuse everything in circles? Then they ask: Could any of this help us work together better in space?

Access to space and space-like conditions (low pressure, temperature extremes, low gravity, radiation, etc) is still one of the leading needs in the industry. Flight capabilities for scientific exploration of Earth and our solar system, as well as the need to validate new technologies to be used for such endeavors. I would like to propose a weeklong, hands‑on workshop for the Maldives Space Research Organization (MSRO) to take place at the Addu Atoll in the Maldives, focused on teaching their emerging space agency how to build, fly, and recover stratospheric polyethylene balloons capable of ...

Open Pathways to Space: Democratizing Space Analog Missions in Brazil’s Semiarid is a project about giving 4 people from all over the world a fair chance to experience what it is like to prepare for space through a participation in a space analog mission in Habitat Marte space analog station based in Brazilian semiarid. The mission will happen from October 12th to 16th, 2026. Going to space usually feels like something only a few countries or people can do. This project wants to change that. We use a special place on Earth called Habitat Marte, a space analog station located in Brazil’s semi...
