Artemis Mission Spurs New Race For Moon Base

Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

National Geographic (4/10, Andrews) reported the successful Artemis II mission has ignited a new space race for a permanent lunar presence. According to National Geographic,

“The near-future moon was watched over by an array of yet-to-be-launched satellites. Earth’s companion will require its own versions of our planet’s GPS and telecommunications networks in the sky.”

The initial version “will either be launched by a private company, or by a space agency; Europe’s Moonlight project, for example, hopes to deploy a small constellation of lunar satellites in the next few years.

Lengthy base-building, particularly using LTVs, will require a network like this to operate.”
