's Argonaut European Large Logistics Lander — will be in place around the moon.
Facilitating these communications will be the ESA's Moonlight lunar communication and navigation service and an equivalent NASA service, the Lunar Communications Relay and Navigation System, linking missions with each other and with Earth. To interact and maximize interoperability, these systems will need to employ the same timescale as the crewed and uncrewed missions they support, experts say.
"The experience of this success can be reused for the technical long-term lunar systems to come, even though stable timekeeping on the moon will throw up its own unique challenges — such as taking into account the fact that time passes at a different rate there due toAccurate navigation requires extremely rigorous timekeeping. For example, terrestrial satellite navigation systems, like Galileo in Europe andin the U.S., have their own distinct timing systems.
