This paper examines the benefits of navigating a crewed vehicle at the Moon using both ground tracking and satellite-to-satellite tracking, where the tracking satellite is stationed in a lunar halo orbit. Linked Autonomous Interplanetary Satellite Orbit Navigation (LiAISON) is a new technique that has been shown to dramatically improve the navigation of lunar satellites, libration orbiters, and Earth orbiting satellites using simple scalar satellite-to-satellite observations, such as range or Doppler. In this paper, LiAISON is applied to the problem of navigations a crewed vehicle in low lunar orbit. It has been found that adding LiAISON observations to a ground navigation solution improves the navigation enough to reduce the number of active ground tracking stations from six to three.
