| dc.description.abstract | Cislunar space currently lacks the navigation infrastructure from which Earth-centric space missions benefit – e.g. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The Deep Space Network is often used, but in recent years has become saturated with missions and scheduling time is becoming increasingly infeasible. Governments and national agencies such as the White House and NASA have identified a need for a scalable and interoperable positioning, navigation, timing, and communications (PNTC) service in cislunar space to support growing scientific interest and plans for a sustained human presence on the surface. This paper explores potential navigation methodologies and analytically determines achievable accuracy for such a system; navigation simulations are also conducted for example users on the lunar south pole – such as a ground station and lunar rover – to compare several different low-infrastructure constellation designs. Sufficient coverage of the south pole to yield navigation performance in the tens of meters is achieved for these users with as little as a four-satellite constellation | |
