If mankind is to have a long-term presence on the Moon, it will require dependable communications, which Lockheed Martin believes it can offer. Crescent Space, the company’s lunar infrastructure subsidiary, has launched its first project, a Moon-to-Earth satellite network. Parsec, as it is known, employs a network of tiny lunar satellites to maintain continuous communication between astronauts, their equipment, and people on Earth. The technology will also assist with navigation.
