In October 2022, the Lunar LTE Studies (LunarLiTES) team from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) conducted a series of communications field test measurements through the NASA Desert Research and Technology Studies (DRATS) campaign held near Flagstaff, Arizona. The objective of the NASA DRATS outings are to provide analog mission testing of candidate technologies for space exploration, especially those technologies applicable to human exploration of extraterrestrial rocky bodies. These activities are performed at locations with similarities to extraterrestrial conditions, such as the dry, volcanic landscape north of Flagstaff. This report describes the surface-to-surface communications testing performed by LunarLiTES as part of the 2022 NASA DRATS experiments. The objectives of this testing were to collect data for the development and refinement of radio frequency (RF) propagation models and emulation techniques, as well as to evaluate the application of terrestrial cellular communication technologies to lunar surface exploration.
