International Partnerships N A S A
The NASA Lunar Science Institute is developing a partnership program
with other international science organizations to provide collaborative LUNAR SCIENCE
opportunities for its researchers within the global science community. I N S T I T U T E
International partners are invited to participate in all aspects of the
Institute’s activities and programs, on a no-exchange-of-funds basis.

The first three NLSI Affiliate partners are:

• Canada: Gordon Osinski, University of Western Ontario.
