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.

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?

LunARC’s MoonDAO Project Proposal: Governance Design Workshop at Universidad NUR

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 carrying 1000’s of pounds to near space.

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 semiarid region. This environment looks and feels a bit like the Moon or Mars: dry, remote, and challenging. Because of that, it is perfect for practicing how humans might live and work in space.  
Through this project, participants from different countries, backgrounds, and professions will be able to take part in realistic space missions on Earth through Habitat Marte space analog station. They will

Open Pathways to Space: Democratizing Space Analog Missions in Brazil’s Semiarid

This project aims to bring the experience and curiosity about the space world to remote communities that do not have access to telescopes or astronomical education, through a mobile planetarium and sky observation activities.  
Using a portable inflatable planetarium, a projector, and a telescope, along with educational materials and workshops, engaging activities will be carried out for children and young people. These activities will help them learn about space, stars, and the universe in a practical, theoretical, democratic, accessible, and fun way.

One of the greatest dreams of space enthusiasts is to reach more people, especially those who do not have access to such experiences. Being part of motivating this new generation would be an honor for me.

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, resilience, and teamwork with the stories of immigrant and first‑generation students striving for college success. By creating a dynamic dialogue between exploration in space and personal journeys of overcoming obstacles on Earth, this event will inspire students to see themselves as future leaders, problem‑solvers, and potential contributors to humanity’s exploration of the unknown.

I want to give everyone a simple way to write one short wish and send it to the Moon. People can do it for free, or they can choose a digital or printed certificate as a keepsake. After the Moon delivery is confirmed, participants receive a personalized certificate that includes their wish and the date it touched the lunar surface. This proposal brings that global participation model to MoonDAO as a community growth engine, a cultural public good, and an optional revenue stream, implemented in collaboration with LifeShip (lifeship.com).

This follow-up proposal builds upon the exceptional success of the Art Rocket Project in Brazil, highlighting the extensive creative, technical, and community‑driven work completed between July and November 2025. The team not only achieved but significantly exceeded the original objectives—producing 14 professional‑quality videos, composing original music, ensuring copyright compliance, and developing outreach initiatives such as the Baikonur Contest, which successfully attracted new MoonDAO citizens and continues to expand community engagement.

The Q4 initiative focuses on finalizing and publishing these videos, which document MoonDAO’s humanitarian impact, astronaut Eiman Jahangir’s outreach, and the collaboration between MoonDAO, the Unity Foundation, and Brazilian partners, as well as the Baikonur launch coverage. It includes the publication of photos and videos from the launch, featuring MoonDAO citizens and the contest winner, and a follow‑up campaign to engage and onboard new M

The Lunar Open-source Rover Standard (LORS) creates a shared framework for designing, building, and operating lunar rovers—like CubeSat standards did for satellites. Every team builds rovers differently, wasting time and money. LORS changes this by researching what standards exist, mapping who’s building rovers, and creating a roadmap for an open standard everyone can use.  

This Phase 1 is a research—collecting all the relevant information in one place and making a plan.  

When finished, anyone—from students to startups—will have a clear path to build compatible lunar rovers without starting from zero.

Lunar Open-source Rover Standard (LORS) - Phase 1: Foundation Research

The purpose of this proposal is to lay the foundation, in November and December of 2025, for the Overview Effect Comparison Project campaign, to be launched in January of 2026. Key milestones/objectives/goals for this project include contacting launch service providers, identifying potential supporters, writing a strategic communications plan , and developing promotional materials .  The result of this project will be an executable plan to raise funds for OECP.

Celestial Commons is a community‑driven initiative focused on engaging new audiences and bringing new communities into the space sector through participatory policy making. The goal is to overcome public feelings of alienation from and apathy towards the benefits of space, by engaging citizens globally in the policy process, ensuring that everyone has a voice and a stake in the future of humanity beyond Earth.

Citizens Space Policy Initiative

This proposal is focused on driving growth within MoonDAO with initiatives that support each stage of the growth marketing funnel - from awareness, adoption, activation, engagement, retention, and revenue.

Accelerate MoonDAO Growth

Over the past six months MoonDAOs executive branch has been focused on creating sustainable revenue via new initiatives and adding value to our core services like Citizens and Teams and the MoonDAO website, all while continuing to execute on the core functionality of community operations such as governance, incentives, and social media, while having an eye for how to reduce cost of maintenance for DAO operations by developing automations and workflows in-house. This proposal is an extension for six more months of budget, with the core deliverable being our flagship launchpad initiative to generate sustainable cashflows for the DAO.

Executive Branch Proposal Q4 2025 - Q2 2026

In the last year the executive branch created automations and workflows for most basic operations to reduce the overhead of maintenance substantially across Governance and Incentives. Separately, the team has been working in the form of quarterly projects to drive revenue for the organization, specifically the Space Acceleration Network, Launchpad, and affiliate sales for partners. This proposal is focused on using those revenue-generating systems to achieve sustainable cash flows for the DAO. This is a six month budget for MoonDAO to operate from Q2 2025 to the beginning of Q4 2025 to attempt to achieve that level of sustainability, shifting the focus of the executive team from mere maintenance of operations, to growing the onchain annual recurring revenue of the organization.

Executive Branch Proposal Q2 2025 - Q4 2025

A high-impact scientific experiment (NASA’s *Rodent Research-20/RR-20*) flown aboard the ISS in 2023 was recently defunded due to NASA budget cuts. The data from this experiment - and more importantly the future data that could be collected from the subject mice colony - is exceptionally valuable to humanity’s future settlement of space, due to its unique focus on mammalian reproductive systems and long‑term genetic impacts of spaceflight. MoonDAO member organization Advanced SpaceLife Research Institute (ASRI) has been developing a crowd‑raise funding campaign in cooperation with MoonDAO to raise a target equivalent amount of $1.5 M USD, which would extend/fund the RR‑20 experiment for an additional three years at University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). Additionally, MoonDAO intends to use ASRI’s *RR‑20* crowd‑raise campaign as a flagship project for its newly upgraded platform, but both ASRI and MoonDAO require additional time to adequately prepare for the official launch.

This project is a monthly, in person speaker series held on the full moon, focused on how humans think about, govern, and build for the Moon. It is a direct continuation of the Moon Dialogs series founded by Jessy Kate, founder of the Open Lunar Foundation, which demonstrated sustained community interest in accessible, interdisciplinary conversations about lunar development and stewardship.
Hosted at The Fold in San Francisco, the series carries forward the Moon Dialogs ethos while introducing a more structured arc, clearer objectives, and tighter integration with active lunar infrastructure projects. Each event brings together experts and practitioners alongside a broader community to hear short talks, share food and drinks, and engage in discussion across lunar policy, development, geology, philosophy, and systems infrastructure.
The series also serves as a public facing platform to introduce and discuss the forthcoming Lunar Timekeeping whitepaper and to invite new contributors into

Pulse v0 is a compact, smart wearable that can deliver medicine automatically and safely. In extreme or confined environments like spacecraft, analog habitats, or remote Earth locations giving yourself a shot is difficult. Gravity doesn’t help, spaces are tight, and even small mistakes like needle jams, backflow, or sensor errors can be dangerous. Medicines such as anti-nausea drugs, painkillers, antibiotics, allergy treatments, or even cancer therapies need precise delivery to keep people safe. Pulse v0 is a bench-top prototype, built to test whether a wearable can reliably and safely deliver medication without putting anyone at risk. It allows us to study fluid dynamics, dosing accuracy, and sensor reliability under controlled lab conditions. The design is human-centered, focusing on safety, usability, and reliability. Testing this prototype now generates critical data to guide future iterations, including wearables for space, remote missions, or emergency use. Beyond space, Pulse v0

PULSE v0 (TRL 2): Bench-Top Testing of Safe, Automated Medicine Delivery

This proposal outlines a strategic initiative for MoonDAO to establish a temporary physical presence in Florianópolis, Brazil, during April 2026, leveraging two major ecosystem events: **Discover Floripa** and **Ipê Village**. The goals are to strengthen MoonDAO’s visibility, partnerships, and community growth in Latin America through Florianópolis as a leading regional hub for startups, digital nomads, and crypto innovation, making it an ideal entry point for MoonDAO’s long‑term expansion in the region and ecosystem.

The initiative includes renting an apartment for one month to function as a MoonDAO base, hosting community events and workshops, and organizing a focused hackathon. The hackathon will explore a novel crypto‑native model that combines elements of stock markets and startup incubators to connect investors with space‑focused startups developing solutions for Earth‑based challenges. The project aims to generate tangible prototypes, onboard new contributors, and position Moon

The Earth-Space Conservation and Demonstration Center (ESCDC), is a 338 acre space education and research analog site in Washington, New Hampshire. Founder David Cheuvront, was the visionary study team member and co-author of NASA’s “ The Evolvable Lunar Architecture” document and a NASA ISS and Safety & Compliance focused Systems Engineer.  MoonDAO’s 2030 target of a minimum viable, self-sustaining lunar settlement by around 2030, culminating in a celebratory gathering is quickly approaching. During this past 4Q2025 Autumn, ESCDC’s 3 crew members rapidly stood up our first ESCDC operations for a successful World Biggest Analog (WBA) pilot; we're seeking to continue building the vision of our Founder David Cheuvront.  The site needs basic 'life support' base systems— power, water, communications and environmental control, so we can further develop and host space: education, research and analog events (The 2030 celebration) that feels like it's happening on the Moon.

According to the [MoonDAO roadmap](https://docs.moondao.com/About/Roadmap) the organization should start designing Lunar Settlement this year. Rovers are major elements of it.

No unified standards for lunar rovers exist. By supporting this initiative, MoonDAO fulfills its mission and establishes itself as a leader in lunar exploration.

The standard should cover all the aspects of rover design, from the physical interface to the software stack.

Rover projects can realize immediate benefits by adopting specific components of the standard, such as command protocols, even without full implementation.

To succeed we need to form a global collaboration and adopt the standard. To secure the necessary resources, we plan to leverage the MoonDAO launchpad.

Phase Two focuses on preparing for a launch via the MoonDAO launchpad, formalizing community development processes, and establishing the initial draft of the standard.

Lunar Open-source Rover Standard (LORS) - Phase Two

Space is a new frontier in biology for two reasons: firstly we can use the lack of gravity for experiments that outperform terrestrial settings, and secondly because we need a whole set of new technology and know-how to tackle the space environment for human life. This project will produce a shared, peer‑reviewed technical baseline for MoonDAO’s future biological mission design and funding. The paper will collect and organize research, examples, and companies into a reliable review paper to help guide the whole sector. This helps MoonDAO and others understand the landscape of space bio, helps direct research, funding, and policy. The work will be coordinated by Expanse Bio, a new hub accelerating space biotech. The team of scientists leading this project have multiple experiences publishing high impact studies.

We launched a pyramid to the moon in January 2025 with Meme World Order, LifeShip, and MoonDAO - a physical artifact containing a private key that maps to crypto wallets from multiple communities. Now we're building the digital infrastructure to keep that mission alive and bring new people into space culture. This proposal funds a Base mini-app that tracks the lunar pyramid's wallet balance in real-time, shows its location on the moon, and lets people submit digital art and messages to add to the bounty. The goal is simple: make space interesting again for retail crypto users and grow the lunar bounty into something impossible to ignore.

0g-SPOT is an audio and visual podcast that explores human intimacy, relationships, and philosophical questions related to spaceflight. While most public conversations about space focus on technology and engineering, 0g-SPOT centers on the human experience - using thoughtful, tongue-in-cheek dialogue to make space more relatable and engaging to a general adult audience. Season 1 is already well underway: eight episodes have been recorded, with the first episode currently in professional post-production. Current episode guests include medical leaders in space, Star Trek royalty, sex experts, design experts, and health and wellness leaders in space. This proposal supports the completion, polishing, and distribution of the first eight episodes, enabling timely delivery of a high-quality media project that contributes to MoonDAO’s mission to shape a more human future in space. The first season is anticipated to consist of approximately 12–16 episodes. The first eight episodes have already

Type 2 Labs is building a lunar rover that Youtubers, streamers, and Chat (stream viewers) can control.
The Mission: Chat, We are Going to the Moon.
We are in the process of prototyping the rover, finding mission sponsors, planning live rover pits at conferences, and planning analogue streaming missions.  Our marketing strategy: If it doesn't make people laugh or inspire them, we don't do it. Audiences are tired of polished corporate messaging — they want something that feels human and self-aware. Everything we do has a hint of irony, and that's by design. Serious Engineering. Unserious Marketing.  Our sponsorship model: We're building a roster of category-exclusive sponsors where each company owns their category as the 'Official [Category] of Chat, We are Going to the Moon.' The semi-ironic 'Official' title is audience-tested and memorable — viewers find it entertaining, which means more engagement for sponsors.
