Annual Meeting of the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group : November 1-3, 2016, Columbia, Maryland

The meeting goals are three-fold: 1. Integrate the perspectives and interests of the different stakeholders (science, engineering, government, and private sector) to explore common goals of lunar exploration. 2. Use the results of recent and ongoing missions to examine how science enables exploration and exploration enables science. 3. Provide a forum for community updates and input into the issues that affect lunar science and exploration.NASA Lunar Exploration Analysis Group (LEAG) Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) Universities Space Research Association (USRA) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) NASA Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI)Organizing Committee, Clive Neal, Convener, University of Notre Dame, Stephen Mackwell, Convener, Universities Space Research Associatio
