Positioning and Velocity Performance Levels for a Lunar Lander using a Dedicated Lunar Communication and Navigation System

Abstract

With the Moon becoming the next long-term objective in space for both agencies (ESA, 2021; NASA, 2021) and private actors (NASA, 2020), the number of expected missions to Earth's natural satellite might exceed, already in this decade, the overall number reached in the 1960s-1970s (Euroconsult, 2020).
