The Lunar Policy Handbook is a reference guidebook for government personnel and private actors in the space industry. It is designed to be a high-level guide that is useful for a broad audience of space actors, outlining policy issues and operational considerations related to lunar activities. By providing a reliable, consistent reference point for space actors, the Lunar Policy Handbook builds capacity in the international community around lunar policy. The Lunar Policy Handbook is an essential tool for practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand how to implement the responsible and sustainable development of the lunar ecosystem.

Part I of the handbook outlines the current policy issues, including registration, liability, and transparency. Part II targets policy questions related to operational considerations. It follows an approach that explores the potential policy implications of specific lunar activities, such as orbital, landed, and infrastructure activities.
