The European Space Agency is planning to return to the moon, after almost half of a century since Gene Cernan was the last man to walk on the lunar surface. That was in 1972, only 3 years after Neil Armstrong was the first. While NASA is concentrating on sending people to Mars, the ESA is inviting service providers to form partnerships to take part in a one year study to shape the In-Situ Resource Utilization Demonstrator Mission (IRUDM). Their goal is to embark on an endeavour that is viable, competitive and sustainable.
