TYB
THE INTERNATIONAL MOONBASE ALLIANCE
is a vanguard of the next great wave of human migration, enabling multinational collaboration to help launch a sustainable human presence on the Moon and beyond.
Our Mission
To Unite Space Agencies, Space Companies, and Humankind to Build Sustainable Settlements on the Moon, Mars, and Beyond.
Our Vision
Humankind will become a multi-planetary species. We must go with humility, respect and aloha. Only with this spirit will we voyage to & settle on the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Overview
The International MoonBase Alliance (IMA) is an association comprised of leading scientists, educators, and entrepreneurs from space agencies and industries worldwide to advance the development and implementation of an international base on the Moon.
Our priority is to create an action plan that will culminate with the building of MoonBase prototypes on Earth, followed by a sustainable settlement on the Moon. Building on discussions and recommendations from the Lunar Exploration and Analysis Group (LEAG), the European Lunar Symposium, the International Space Development Conference, the NewSpace Symposium, the International Astronautical Congress (IAC), and other worldwide space forums, we intend to formulate an integrated strategy for establishing a proposed multinational lunar base.
Towards this goal, the IMA hosted a 2017 summit last October on Hawaiʻi’s Big Island and invited leading aerospace, engineering and space industry professionals for a series of conferences focusing on identifying essential resources and technological capabilities required to enable and sustain lunar-based operations. Through the promotion of international collaborations and public-private partnerships, we can reduce costs, enhance benefits, and accelerate timetables for lunar settlements.

Pictures Reveal What ‘Jet Pack Man' in Sky Near LAX Might Be — and It's Not What You'd Expect
The human-sized floating toy recorded by the LAPD flight crew may be a life-sized inflatable "Jack Skellington," a character from the 1993 Tim Burton movie, "A Nightmare Before Christmas"
What to Know
-Pictures show what appears to be a human-shaped inflatable toy floating thousands of feet above the Holmby Hills and Beverly Hills areas.
-They were captured in early November 2020, about two weeks after the second of the three sightings reported by jetliner pilots.
-A law enforcement official speculated that it was part of a Halloween decoration which broke loose and floated away.
While officials told NBC Los Angeles that the police encounter could have been a single balloon that broke loose from a Halloween display and drifted into the sky, it also emboldened one theory shared among federal authorities investigating the sightings: that pilots might have seen human-shaped inflatables or other balloons that had drifted into the landing approach routes into LAX.
There have been three sightings reported by pilots lining up to land at Los Angeles International Airport.
One was on August 30, 2020, 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 30, 2020 by an American Airlines flight crew on final approach to LAX. Another happened nearly two months later, on Oct. 14, when the pilot of a China Airlines flight said there was an object sighted at around 6,000 feet over Culver City or Century City, and responded yes when an air traffic controller asked if the object resembled a jet pack.
The third, earlier this year on July 28, occurred at approximately 6:10 p.m., when the pilot of a Kalitta Air Cargo 747 on approach to LAX over the Santa Fe Springs and Whittier areas told air traffic controllers he could see the 'jet man' off his right wing at an altitude of approximately 5,000 feet.
Officials said Monday that after more than a year of investigation federal agents had been unable to find additional witnesses who saw, or recorded video, of any of the flying objects reported by the pilots either in flight or falling to the ground.
"The FAA has worked closely with the FBI to investigate every reported jetpack sighting," the FAA said. "So far, none of these sightings have been verified."
The LAPD video was provided to federal investigators some months ago. It was recorded in early November, 2020 by two officers on a routine patrol flight near the Hollywood Hills.
Retired airline pilot and aviation consultant Ross Aimer said Monday the balloon images seem to fit with what the jet pilots reported.
"This now explains that this could possibly be what they saw," Aimer said.
He told NBC LA that he believed pilots had made honest reports to air traffic controllers, but at the high relative speed of a jetliner on approach, the flight crews may have only caught a glimpse of the objects.
"There's a very good possibility the previous ones were also balloons and pilots mistook them as jetpacks," Aimer said. "This is a better explanation to me and to the aviation community."
