As part of its Moonlight initiative, the agency is encouraging European space companies to put a constellation of telecommunications and navigation satellites around the Moon. To succeed, the proposed lunar missions will require reliable navigation and telecommunication capabilities. Building these independently would be costly, complex and inefficient. If this work were outsourced to a consortium of space companies, each individual mission would become more cost-efficient. Having one system dedicated to lunar telecommunications and navigation could reduce design complexity, liberating missions to concentrate on their core activities. Because missions could rely on this dedicated telecommunications and navigation service, they would be lighter. This would make space for more scientific instruments or other cargo.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xY3rHHWgMjE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>** <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/show\/21-may-2021\/broadcast-3693-dr.-namrata-goswami\">The Space Show &#8211; Friday, May.21.2021<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/guest\/dr.-namrata-goswami-0\">Dr. Namrata Goswami<\/a><\/strong> discussed &#8220;<em>space policy, Artemis, the Biden Space Policy, China and space plus more<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-23938-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3693-BWB-2021-05-21.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3693-BWB-2021-05-21.mp3\">https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3693-BWB-2021-05-21.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>** <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/show\/18-may-2021\/broadcast-3692-chris-carberry\">The Space Show &#8211; Tuesday, May.19.2021<\/a><\/strong>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/guest\/chris-carberry\">Chris Carberry<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploremars.org\/\">Explore Mars Inc.<\/a> talked about their upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploremars.org\/mars-innovation-forum\/#agenda\">Mars Innovation Forum <\/a>(May 25-27, 2021, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm EDT Daily) and about the <a href=\"http:\/\/spacedrinks.space\/\">Space Drink Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-23938-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3692-BWB-2021-05-18.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3692-BWB-2021-05-18.mp3\">https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/sites\/default\/files\/shows\/3692-BWB-2021-05-18.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>** <span class=\"-KXLs\">E60: Challenges of the US Space Industrial Base &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/spacepolicy\" target=\"_d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aerospace Corp Space Policy (Vimeo) &#8211; Center for Space Policy &amp; Strategy (CSPS)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"E60: Challenges of the US Space Industrial Base\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/548972514?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>** <a href=\"https:\/\/constellations.libsyn.com\/102-industrial-iot-cubesat-constellations-and-getting-vsats-to-work-with-leo\"><strong>102 &#8211; Industrial IoT, Cubesat Constellations, and Getting VSATs to Work With LEO<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYK0SBdyQCSheGp4EJt_7lQ\">Constellations Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/19153679\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/000000\/\" width=\"100%\" height=\"90\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>** <strong>Space Caf\u00e9 WebTalk &#8211; Aarti Holla-Maini &#8211; 30.
