NASA and ESA are collaborating under the Artemis program to establish a standardized lunar time system. This system aims to facilitate coordination among various lunar missions by addressing challenges like the Moon’s unique day-night cycle, lack of natural timekeeping references, and communication delays. Potential solutions include linking lunar time to UTC or creating a custom time scale. This initiative is crucial for future lunar exploration, including permanent human presence and missions to Mars.
