NASA has published Moon to Mars and Artemis architecture plans for long-term human activity on and around the Moon. These plans include surface habitats, lunar terrain vehicles, pressurized rovers, power systems, science operations, cargo, communications, and activity around the lunar south pole, where sunlight, shadow, terrain, and possible water ice all affect mission design. This project turns those lunar concepts into clearer, interactive plans. Builders will be able to show, test, improve, and share mission concepts with the community. The goal is to create useful open infrastructure tha...

Humanity is preparing to return to the Moon but before we can build habitats, landing pads, or mining infrastructure, we need to answer a simple question: How do we know the ground is safe? Today there is no open, standardized framework that defines how lunar terrain should be evaluated and prepared before infrastructure is deployed. This project proposes creating the Lunar site qualification framework: an open technical methodology describing how robotic systems can assess, characterize, and qualify lunar terrain for future missions. The framework will be openly shared with the MoonDAO co...

This is a high-level description of the idea. Please use ELI5 (explain like I'm five years old) wording and summarize things for anyone to understand what you want to achieve. I would like to propose the purchase and installation of new vacuum chamber components at the University of New Mexico's human rated altitude chamber. I would also like to propose open testing opportunities to support lunar human habitation research within the community. The budget for the project is about $300 over the maximum but I will cover that out of pocket myself.

Mission Cosmic Colombia uses the inspiration of space to democratize STEAM education for children and youth across Colombia, focusing on underserved communities and patients affected by cancer and degenerative diseases. Through a 7 day immersive program, Solidarity Space Kits, teacher training, and regional replication, the project delivers hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics experiences that build skills, emotional resilience, and a culture of curiosity. This proposal requests funding to produce and distribute educational kits, run workshops, train educators, docu...

We are building a tiny, high-tech space science experiment (a satellite payload) that will launch into space on a real rocket! Think of it like packing a "Space Backpack" with special sensors to measure radiation and temperature up in orbit. To make it fun and easy for everyone to learn from, we are creating a cartoon story series featuring a character named Luzinha the Space Scout. Kids and students will get to follow her adventures on social media, see her live data, and learn how real satellites work, and use the satellite for high school student analog mission. The mission is called LUZINH...

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.

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...
