Humans went back to the Moon this year. In April 2026, the crew of Artemis II flew farther from Earth than any people in history and returned safely, the first crewed lunar mission since Apollo 17 in December 1972. NASA now targets Artemis IV in early 2028 for the first crewed landing of this era.

Getting there is the easy part. Staying is the hard part.

The Moon Society exists for what comes after the flags and footprints: permanent, self-sustaining human settlement on the Moon. Since 2000 we have advocated for lunar development, published the research and analysis the field depends on, and built a community of engineers, scientists, educators, students, and citizens who intend to see it happen.

Why membership matters

We are a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Membership dues fund our publications, our conferences, our chapters, and our public advocacy. There is no endowment behind this work. There are members.

Joining also connects you to people who take lunar settlement seriously as an engineering and policy problem rather than a distant hope, and who are actively working on it now, while the decisions that will shape the next century of lunar activity are still being made.
