ESA says the planned lunar communications and navigation systems will perform much better if they " employ the same timescale, along with the many other crewed and uncrewed missions they will support."

欧空局表示，如果计划中的月球通信和导航系统“采用相同的时间尺度，以及它们将支持的许多其他载人和非载人任务”，它们的性能会更好。

One of the companies known to have expressed interest is Houston-based Intuitive Machines, which is already under contract with NASA to develop a lunar communications network, among other projects.
