8. International Lunar Observatory Association Space Age Publishing Company Why Astronomy from the Moon? • Mechanical stability / stable platform – can point and track precisely • High vacuum, no atmospheric absorption or scattering • Farside free of Radio Frequency Interference • Constant, uninhibited observation (except for Sun and Earth) • Extremely long life – no expendable gases, gyro wear, etc. • Real time control possible - light travel <3 second round trip • A lunar observatory is expandable (interferometry) • Low mission cost now possible thru private space enterprise • Infinite single point observation at Poles, depth unmatched • And much more Many advantages of astronomy from the Moon are well known. There are no fundamental or engineering problems in sending a robotic mission to the Moon. It has been done many times before using much older technology!

9. International Lunar Observatory Association Space Age Publishing Company Primary and Secondary ILOMission Objectives: • Initial landing site observation, local surveillance • Search for Earth-like planets • Analyze interstellar molecules to determine origin of Solar System • Search for dangerous NEOs • Image Galactic Center • Earth observations: geocorona, etc. • Solar observations, solar storm warnings • Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) • Observe signs of life on Mars, Europa, Titan, etc. • More
