#BlueGhost1 va allunir dans les prochaines semaines. Et pour la première fois, la sonde tentera d'obtenir une positon... GNSS! 🛰

En effet, étant donné la distance entre l'orbite MEO et la Lune, la précision théorique est d'environ 10jm. Néanmoins, ce sera testé à l'aide de Galileo🇪🇺 et du GPS🇺🇸

Through the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, NASA is working with American companies to deliver scientific, exploration, and technology payloads to the Moon’s surface and orbit. The CLPS model aims to enable new avenues of completing high-value/high–priority scientific investigations and exploration while expanding the lunar economy and build a marketplace on the Moon. The first payloads heading to the Moon through CLPS are being launched ahead of crewed missions to help NASA better understand how to operate in the lunar environment before landing the next generation of explorers. - NASA
