The purpose of The Moon Society is to conduct educational, scientific, legal, and financial activities related to exploration and settlement of the Moon, outer space, and other celestial bodies.

People from all walks of life find themselves fascinated with space exploration. They want to see humankind expand to a civilization that includes more than one planet. Our own Moon is the natural place to start, and this organization is centered around promoting and learning about the efforts that will make that a reality.

The Phoenix chapter has been around since late 2007 and has about a dozen active members. Our main focus has been public outreach at events like science fiction conventions and science related events (Apollo anniversaries, etc.).

Meetings

The Moon Society of Phoenix holds monthly meetings on the third Saturday of each month, at 3 pm.  These meetings are held at Denny's Restaurant at 4403 South Rural Road, Tempe, AZ.  The restaurant rests on the south east corner of Rural Rd and the US 60.

Activities and Projects

We are an active group, and regularly visit local conventions, and are currently working on several real-world projects.

We have constructed a telepresence kit, that we take to cons for demonstration races.

Additionally, we are building our Tranquility Community College area.
