Ambitions to create a multinational research park on the moon will be discussed in November at a Big Island meeting of scientists, space agency representatives and entrepreneurs.

The 2011 International Lunar Research Park Leaders Summit is scheduled for Nov. 13-17 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village.

Space experts participating in the summit plan to discuss the potential costs, benefits and milestones required to develop a lunar research park prototype in Hawaii.

They’ll also analyze what it would take to establish a lunar park on the surface of the moon within a decade.

The meeting is being held by the state of Hawaii in collaboration with the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems, the Pacific International Space Alliance, NASA and others.
