Links to Things Moon skip to more links

The Lunar and Planetary Institute is a NASA-funded institute in Houston, Texas, devoted to studying the solar system and sharing the excitement of space exploration with the public. They have a section on the Moon called Exploring The Moon

Their home page at LPI has links to Photo Moon Atlases.

The Inconstant Moon by John Walker at Fourmilab shows The Moon at Perigee and Apogee and explains why the differences in size.

Luna Corp was formed in 1989 by a group of ex-NASA officials, businessmen and space activists with the common goal of finding non-traditional funding mechanisms for space exploration and development.

LUNARSAT Europes First Lunar Micro Orbiter Launch Date 2002. Interesting Educational Outreach program planned. For the first time, a spacecraft -primarily designed and built by young professionals and students- will investigate the Moon's suitability for an extraterrestrial outpost. Lunar Links at LUNARSAT.

ILEWG Current Events if you are following what is happening with going back to the Moon - see what's happening at the 4th International Conference on Exploration and Utilisation of the Moon - (ICEUM4), ESA/ESTEC Noordwijk, The Netherlands, 10-15 July 2000

WWW Sites of Interest listed at ILEWG web site. A number of links to sites that have information about the Moon.

Space Calendar at JPL. The Space Calendar covers space-related activities and anniversaries for the coming year. Included are over 1,400 links to related home pages. This Calendar is compiled and maintained by Ron Baalke. Please send any updates or corrections to baalke@kelvin.jpl.nasa.gov.
