NASA and ESA are working on a GPS-like system for the Moon

ESA and NASA are having a kind of “friendly” competition to build satellites that provide communications on their way to the moon.

As humanity approaches its return to MoonThe most important space agencies in the world are working on satellite navigation systems to make it easier to fly from Earth.

In this sense POT and WHAT They are working on systems like GPS that will be installed on rockets that will fly more than 384,400 kilometers. How will they work?

GPS and satellite navigation in space

The only current way to get from point A to point B in space is to perform complex physics calculations tailored for each mission. Since the spacecraft is drifting in space, the only point of reference is the Earth. Therefore, you need to send a signal to the planet in order to understand where it is.

According to Elizabeth Rooney, Senior Engineer at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd., insiders, “the cheapest way to implement deep space satellite navigation is to take advantage of satellites around our planet.” The company works with WHAT develop satellite navigation in space.

In 2019, four satellites were able to determine their position in space using signals from earth-based GPS satellites. However, it was about halfway to the moon.

Probes are sent to the remaining sector to try to intercept signals from Earth. WHAT will send to Navimoon via satellite Lunar Pathfinder: it is believed that he could determine the position of ships with an accuracy of 60 meters. It is expected that the probe will be able to autonomously navigate the lunar orbit.

The American side will send its own probe-detector, developed with the support of the Italian Space Agency. Their goal is to launch the first of these receivers to the lunar surface in 2024 as part of Experiment with a lunar GNSS receiver.

networks in sets

Pathfinder will launch a fleet of satellites that will support the future colony that will reside in Moon. The European Space Agency system will be called Moonlight.

WHAT she wants to test it first in 2027 and then build a more complete infrastructure in 2030.

POTfor its part will support MoonNoown network, which will work together with Moonlight.

Later, lunar colonists will be able to access high-speed internet, videoconferencing with loved ones on Earth, streaming shows, and creating their own content from space.
