Hall 4 – AGN Theatre;
NASA’s ambitious plan to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon is moving from concept to construction. This session brings together leading experts to examine the roadmap for building a sustained lunar base, from the first components touching down in 2028 through a fully operational outpost by 2036.
Panellists will discuss the critical infrastructure layers that will make permanent lunar habitation possible, modular habitat design and deployment, pressurised and unpressurised crewed rovers for surface exploration, and the landing and launch systems needed to keep crews and cargo moving reliably between Earth and the Moon.
The discussion will also address two mission-critical enablers often overlooked in public conversations: power generation and distribution, and the communications and navigation architecture required to keep a lunar base connected and operational.
This session is an essential look at humanity’s renewed focus on the Earth’s closest celestial neighbour.
