Abstract
Since the increased interest in Moon exploration has grown from worldwide space institutions in the latest years, stable access to this natural satellite is again a top space priority. The European Space Agency (ESA)’s Moonlight initiative, born in support of NASA’s Artemis program to take humans back to the Moon, is one of the long-term existing projects that encourage many space companies to place a constellation of telecommunications and navigation satellites around the Moon. Providing dedicated and reliable lunar telecommunications and navigation services can reduce design complexity, costs, and constraints of future missions, allowing them to concentrate on their core tasks.
In the context of the feasibility studies for future Lunar Communication and Navigation Services (LCNS), Thales Alenia Space Italia (TASI) is defining a candidate concept design for a Lunar Radio Navigation System (LRNS), mainly in terms of suitable Orbit Determination (OD) and Time Synchronization (TS) techniques
