NASA to develop lunar time standard for exploration initiatives

NASA is working with U.S. and international partners to establish a Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC) following a White House directive.

The time standard, based on a weighted average of atomic clocks on the Moon, aims to support a future lunar ecosystem and can be adapted for other celestial bodies.

Initial research shows that atomic clocks on the Moon may tick slightly faster than on Earth due to microsecond differences.

This precise timing is crucial for accurate navigation and safety for future lunar missions, Phys.org has reported.
