A resurgence in lunar activity is taking place, and the pace of Moon-bound launches is only expected to increase. While a dozen missions have already launched to the Moon in this new era, there are now more than 80 government space agencies and an increasing number of private space companies, many of which are planning missions to the Moon. From a navigation perspective, the goals of these future missions are ambitious (e.g., the 2018 Global Exploration Roadmap identified 100-meter position accuracy as a performance target for precision landing) but will not all be able to rely on a human-in-the-loop approach—and the sheer volume of planned missions makes ground-based tracking impractical.
