NASA will return us to the Moon in the Artemis Missions. The National Cislunar Science and Technology Strategy uses a whole-of-government approach to address unique challenges associated with the proliferation of human space exploration to the Moon and beyond. One of the four objectives is to “implement cislunar communications and navigation capabilities with scalable and interoperable approaches to enable a cooperative and sustainable ecosystem in cislunar space.” NASA will rely heavily on LunaNet, which requires precise PNT services. This panel discusses international agreements, space law, public policy, and strategic competitions between the U.S. and China/Russia that steer technological requirements in Cislunar navigation and promote resilient cislunar PNT services.
