ILO Human Service Mission,
1st Women on the Moon (2020s)
ILO-1 to Malapert Mt
South Pole Mission (NET 2021)
ILO-X Precursor Mission
(2021)
ILO – Chang’e-3
Galaxy Imaging (2013-present)
ILO-2 backup to Shackleton Rim (TBD)
South Pole Mission (NET 2022)

4. ILO Mission Objectives
Primary: Galaxy First Light Imaging
Lunar surface observation
(help develop lunar base)
Earth observation
(climate change, precession, etc)
Additional applications:
VLF, SETI, NEOs, Solar storm warning
Lunar South Pole
Top of 5000-m Malapert Mountain
• Line-of-sight observations & communications with Earth
• Nearly continuous Sunlight for power
• Proximity to water ice in permanently shadowed craters
=> likely Moon base site.
• Aitken Basin geological assets
• Southern skies observations including Milky Way
• Antarctica South Pole analog
• Local Lunar South Pole observations & communications

11. Could the First Women on the Moon be as
Significant as the First Men on the Moon?
64 Women have been to Space
out of 566 people
12 USA Men have walked on Moon;
Eugene Cernan was the last 47
years ago
21st Century mission for Women on the
Moon could advance equal rights,
inspire next generation ideas,
technologies, research and science
Establish Humans as Multi World
Civilization
Facilitate large-scale international
collaborations
~1,000 times farther from Earth than
any woman has traveled before
Expand sphere of women’s domain and
influence by ~1 Billion

12. Mission: Advance 21st Century Education worldwide to
provide greater global awareness, capabilities and action in
Galaxy science, exploration and enterprise.
