Zusammenfassung |
In 1957 at the dawn of the space age the United Nations launched the International
Geophysical Year which had a profound impact on collaboration among scientists around the
globe. Its legacy includes several major scientific organizations as well as the beginnings of
collaboration among nations that see themselves as competitors on Earth. The Soviet Union
and the United States made many attempts at collaboration in space while building weapons
systems to destroy each other. Space technologies have become the infrastructure for the
ubiquitous smart phone with global telecommunications, navigation, weather forecasting,
environmental monitoring, and hundreds of other applications. In 2015, the International Year
of Light, several conferences will be held exploring the idea of an International Lunar
Decade1 An informal group, the International Lunar Decade Working Group (ILDWG) has
been formed to plan the launch of the International Lunar Decade in 2017, the
60th Anniversary of the International Geophysical Year. This report will cover the
progress of the ILDWG covering conferences planned, international organizations
involved and key publications. The activities of the ILDWG can be followed at
