The Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) works on the international, national and local level to link together university students and young professionals to think creatively about international space policy issues and inject the new generation point of view into international space policy creation.

Our network is our strongest asset. SGAC has thousands of members in over 100 countries around the world. Through our projects, events and information dissemination resources, we aim to be the premier linking organisation of young space professionals and students. We provide an environment for growth and engagement for our members around the world to gain skills that can prove essential to their future careers. In effect, SGAC is in part a “sandbox” for the future space workforce.

The European Space Agency has stated, "It’s been almost 50 years since man first walked on the lunar surface and the end of the Apollo programme. But now, for many people, a permanent base is the next logical step following the cooperation of countries from all over the world for the International Space Station. One key thought is to use the Moon’s own natural resources to build and sustain a base - its water ice, metals, and minerals - using its own materials to 3D print a structure or building element."

Johann-Dietrich Werner, Director General, ESA has also commented, "the advantage of the idea of Moon village is that we don’t need a big amount of funding at the beginning. We don’t have to define everything and just to say ok we build a big structure. The idea is that the different actors, the different players worldwide, they look in their special capabilities, their special interests, and they bring just their small part into the idea."
