Lunar Index
The Starbench Lunar Index is the best single source of information and projections for the emerging cislunar and lunar economy. It tracks the buildout of the United States commercially-procured base on the Moon, and what it means for the primes and challengers building the hardware. Landing dates come from a correlated slip Monte Carlo fit to NASA program history, hindcast against Artemis I and II, and benchmarked against China's Chang'e cadence.
What's inside
- Government: federal appropriations for lunar programs including Moon Base, a contract tracker, and a full breakdown of the Artemis program, its components, and projections for dates of key events

- Infrastructure: up-to-date information on lunar surface infrastructure including rovers, power grids, and construction
- Lunar data: breakdown of programs for lunar PNT, relay comms, and mapping/prospecting campaigns
- Applications: lunar science, mining and resources, propellant production, and compute (i.e., silicon production)
- China: information and projections for China's crewed lunar program and its International Lunar Research Station
