LunARC is a not-for-profit initiative founded in 2022 by Dr. Lakshmi Karan and Topher Wilkins. Today, we are a diverse community of people driven by the principles of boldness, curiosity, humility and collaboration. Until May 2024, we were organized as a community project that successfully launched our inaugural lunar and deep space missions. We are now in the process of securing a US 501c3 status.
