The framework would apply to communication transmission services for science, exploration and commercial operations, distribution of navigation and timing references, and sharing of information such as space weather alerts. These standards can be introduced as part of upcoming missions to and around the Moon and can accommodate expansion as new commercial and government users and service providers join in an open and evolving architecture. The standards are intended to be compatible with other space communications standards established to date, but are focused on lunar operations, and in particular future lunar communications relay and navigation capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development of the LunaNet Interoperability Specification has been a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). As the specification is refined and new versions are produced, the effort will continue to seek input from the broad community of potential commercial service providers, lunar mission users, and other space agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1894\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?w=1894\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Artist's rendering of astronaut on the moon.\" style=\"transform: scale(1.2); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png 1894w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=1536,865 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=400,225 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=600,338 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=900,507 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lunanet-render.png?resize=1200,675 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1894px) 100vw, 1894px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Artist’s rendering of an astronaut using a tablet on the moon.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Version 4 (current version)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The LunaNet Interoperability Specification – Version 4 was published online on September 12, 2022 and can be found at the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nasa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/atoms\/files\/lunanet_interoperability_specification_version_4.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">LunaNet Interoperabilty Specification – Version 4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Draft Version 5 (for review)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A proposed update to the LNIS has been produced and is available at the link below.
