That Alludes To The Importance Of Spectrum Regulations To Maintain Moon Communication

JAKARTA - At a panel discussion at a conference entitled "Accelerating Space Trade, Exploration, and New Discovery", held by AICEND AIAA a few days ago, lunar communications were mentioned.

Quoting fromSpace, an official of the International Telecommunications Association (ITU) said that lunar communication material could be an interesting discussion at the 2027 World Radio Communications Conference (WRC).

This discussion can be suggested through WRC 2023 which will be held from November 20 to December 15 in Dubai. The reason is, the event will set the next WRC agenda in 2027.

"This may result in some of the most interesting technical work and preparation," said Deputy Director of the International Telecommunications Union Radio Communication Bureau (ITU) Joanne Wilson.

Wilson added that the discussion of lunar communications could be a new step for future approaches. They can build spectral regulation, resources for flight operations, on the lunar surface as well as other planetary objects.

Regulations for these spectra are important because of the increasing demand. This is evident from the articles published by IT last July. They said that radio spectral access needs to be regulated in order to be used by many parties.

" Mission planners, engineers, scientists, architects and regulatory experts must work together to ensure adequate radio spectrum access for all users," Space Aviation Spectrum Manager Cathy Sham wrote in the release.

Overall, this regulation is needed to protect the design of radio astronomy observatories on the far side of the moon from terrestrial signals and spacecraft disruptions.

In addition, the spectrum allocation also needs to be considered so that it can be used by many parties in order to achieve research results in space, precisely on the Moon.
