This project concerns construction of an orbital and ground resource network that provides Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services for lunar surface operations. While functionally similar to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for Earth, this system will instead build an automated PNT framework utilizing limited infrastructure on board orbiting assets along with a controlled number of highly accurate assets, or anchor nodes. The goal is to use advanced algorithms to autonomously coordinate on demand or as needed asset participation to achieve orbit determination and time synchronization of accuracy sufficient for end-user localization. Other proposed lunar PNT solutions, such as weak signal GPS, will not meet many mission localization requirements without additional user INS augmentation and a dedicated GNSS constellation would require prohibitive infrastructure development. This proposed effort, the Lunar Autonomous Positioning System (LAPS), instead offers a design that could be deployed in the near term and is facilitated by accessible hardware technology.
