Moon Society

It plans to design and implement the first privately funded and operated lunar base, calling the effort "Artemis Project'.

The Moon Society operates on a basis of educational outreach, friendly cooperation, and collaboration with other space advocacy groups.

Also, the Moon Society has cooperated on a number of fronts with the Mars Society, despite the latter's official and grassroots culture, which tends to view the Moon as a distraction from Mars.

The Moon Society held its first simulation exercise at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) from February 25 to March 12, 2006.

Eight researchers conducted projects aimed at learning about human factors issues related to a Moon mission.
