ESA's Moonlight initiative

Telespazio is one of the main partners of Moonlight, the European Space Agency (ESA) initiative for the creation of Lunar Communications and Navigation Services (LCNS) and related infrastructure. Telespazio leads a consortium of satellite operators, manufacturing companies, startups and research centres that are working to support the creation of a sustainable lunar economy.
