During the current decade, the focus of space research and exploration is represented by the return of the human being to the Moon, with the aim of establishing a continuous and sustainable presence on its surface. One of the key aspects for the creation of a lunar outpost is the management of communications and services related to them. The objective of this study, performed in collaboration with Tim S.p.A. and the Polytechnic of Turin, is to carry out an evaluation on the possible use of mobile networks in the space sector. The ability to provide the services and performance currently achieved by terrestrial networks and technology is critical to the conquest of the lunar environment, now, and other celestial bodies, in the future.
