As part of the payloads on the Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1 (BGM1) that recently touched down on the Moon, the Lunar GNNS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE) has become the first practical demonstration

NASA and the Italian Space Agency have made history by successfully tracking GPS signals on the moon for the first time. This groundbreaking achievement was made possible by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE),

While there aren't any confused tourists finding their way from A to B on the Moon right now, accurately navigating the lunar surface is going to be crucial for astronauts on future missions. To lay the foundations for a lunar navigation system,

NASA has achieved a global (and beyond) first by accessing the Earth's GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) from the Moon. This development, which makes it possible to receive precise navigation data on the Moon from established Earth technologies,

Learn about the LuGRE experiment by NASA and the Italian Space Agency involving Earth-based navigation on the surface of the Moon.

The new milestone means NASA’s exploration missions could benefit from these signals to accurately and autonomously determine their position, velocity and time.
