- The European Space Agency (ESA) at the International Astronautical Congress, launched its Moonlight Lunar Communications and Navigation Services (LCNS) program.
- It aims to offer critical support for over 400 moon missions planned by space agencies and private companies in the next 20 years.
- The programme will have a constellation of about five lunar satellites that will allow accurate autonomous landings, high-speed communication, and surface mobility.
- These satellites will reportedly enable data transfer over 2,50,000 miles or 4,00,000 kilometres between the Earth and the Moon.
- Europe reportedly also has plans to land its Argonaut spacecraft on the moon by 2031.
