Английская Википедия:DARPA lunar programs
Recognizing the rapid lunar exploration, DARPA envisions a thriving cislunar and lunar economy of scientific research and commercial development over the next decade.[1][2] It has launched two programs to address the need for shareable, scalable commercial systems essential to a robust lunar economy.[3][4]
Lunar Guidelines for Infrastructure Consortium (LOGIC)
LOGIC intends to bring industry, academia, and government together to identify critical lunar infrastructure interoperability and interface needs for commercial lunar infrastructure.[5]
In October 2023, the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) was selected to administer LOGIC as a permanent, self-sustaining, and independent forum for collaboration.[6]
10-Year Lunar Architecture (LunA-10)
Announced in August 2023, LunA-10 will conduct a seven-month capability study to create core technology concepts toward a series set of adaptable, expandable systems that can work together and be shared, “minimizing lunar footprint and creating monetizable services for future lunar users.”[2]
The LunA-10 study’s focus areas are based on key sectors identified in a report titled “Lunar market assessment: market trends and challenges in the development of a lunar economy” by PwC Australia in September 2021.[2] Transit/mobility, energy, and communications are the three areas LunA-10 sees as forming the foundation of any other lunar industries.[7] Industries that may integrate technologies into the LunA-10 infrastructure include construction, mining, medicine, sciences, communications, etc.[8]
NASA has been working on a detailed architecture for lunar and Martian exploration.[9] DARPA has coordinated with NASA to make LunA-10 complementary to NASA architecture studies.[10]
