Welcome to Lunarpedia!
Lunarpedia's mission is to cover everything we will need to know how to do on Luna to set up colonies, as well as related efforts, designs, and business models that may eventually lead there. Construction is underway and you can help!
| NOTICE: All articles in the main namespace are released to the Public Domain and may be used for any purpose without entangling restrictions. DO NOT add any content to these pages that you do not wish to release to the public domain and/or lack the authority to release to the public domain! |
| Articles controlled by the GNU FDL should be imported with full revision histories to the GFDL: namespace. For example, the [[Crater chain]] article from Wikipedia would need to be implemented as [[GFDL:Crater chain]] here. A tutorial is now available. |
| Articles meant to require attribution to Lunarpedia.org under the terms of Creative Commons must be placed in the CC_Lunar: namespace (for example, [[CC Lunar:Crater chain]] |

- Find an identified needed article with a red link, click here for a list of missing but linked to articles, or create your article by typing in the topic name in the URL (such as http://www.lunarpedia.org/index.php?title=articlename.)
- Refine an article stub into somthing more complete.
- Or simply tidy up an article in this category.
- Peter Kokh's outline is another place to find ideas.
- An offsite guide to Wiki formatting can be found Here.
- Our List of Lists contains links to lists of needed articles and needed lists of such articles.
Categories of interest:
- Category:Missions -- This category covers historical missions, from the early Ranger and Lunar missions, through Apollo, and covering recent missions such as SMART.
- Category:Mission Plans -- Possible future missions from potentially affordable ones to multibillion dollar exodi
- Category:Business -- How to set up a space business or an entire network of businesses
- Category:Physics -- The equations and other requirements
- Category:Components -- What you can expect to find to be able to put something together with, and what may be in the works
- Category:Vendors -- Companies you can or may eventually buy components from
- Category:Hardware Plans -- From how to build a cheap space telescope you can stick on a shared Dnepr launch, to O'Neil Colonies
- Category:Locations -- Mare Crisium, Mare Anguis, Tranquility Base, etc.
- Category:People -- Who is whom, was whom, or could be and why
- Category:Transportation -- Transportation to, from, in, on, or over Luna. (Orbital, suborbital, surface or subsurface)
- Category:Urban Planning -- Urban planning on Luna, with special regard to closed environments. Some subcategories will also fit under other primary categories such as Life Support and Transportation
- Category:Life Support (Overall) -- Life Support master category, sub categories should go in here. Most of these sub categories will eventually be listed as main categories also.
- Category:Organizations -- Organizations which support lunar or space colonization.
- Category:Selenology -- Lunar geology, composition, features of interest
Note that location and sector articles are planned to be added in bulk by an automated script that is in development. Any contributions to these topics will be at risk of being overwritten by an automatically generated article stub.
