Congress finds the following: Reliable communication and navigation capabilities are essential for sustainable human and robotic exploration of the Moon, Mars, and other deep space destinations. Fostering the development of commercial capabilities can accelerate the deployment of lunar communication and navigation services that could support the Artemis program, and the Moon to Mars program. The Administrator is authorized to ensure the availability of a robust and resilient lunar communications and navigation architecture that will support NASA’s human and robotic lunar exploration activities and requirements.
To inform the development in subsection (a), the Administrator shall develop a study and prepare a plan to— ensure the availability of interoperable communication and navigation services for NASA missions on the lunar surface and in cislunar space; coordinate with the private sector, other Federal agencies, and, as appropriate, international partners, to establish technical standards in accordance with section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( Public Law 104–113 ), protocols, and interface requirements for lunar communications and navigation services and systems, including relevant information technology and cybersecurity standards and practices; support NASA lunar activities; leverage NASA’s space technology research, development, and demonstration activities related to space communications and navigation; and evaluate the opportunities, benefits, feasibility, challenges, and possible risks of using commercial cislunar communication and navigation services, as appropriate, by United States commercial providers.
