lunar communications network
A lunar communications network consists of satellites and ground stations around the Moon that facilitate data transfer between lunar missions and Earth. It enables real-time communication, navigation, and data relay for lunar rovers, orbiters, and future habitats. By establishing a dedicated network, scientists can ensure continuous, reliable contact with lunar explorers, support scientific research, and coordinate operations efficiently. This network enhances safety, mission progress, and prepares the infrastructure for sustained human presence on the Moon.
