As lunar missions transition from exploration to sustained operations, precise Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services are becoming essential infrastructure.
On July 24, 2025, Inside GNSS and Spirent Communications will host a free live webinar, “Pushing the Boundaries of Lunar PNT,” showcasing groundbreaking developments from the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Qascom, and Spirent.
This session offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from international leaders at the forefront of lunar PNT innovation. From Japan’s Lunar Navigation Satellite System (LNSS) to ESA’s Moonlight LCNS, the discussion will explore how interoperable constellations and advanced receiver technologies are being built for the lunar environment.
Masaya Murata of JAXA will outline Japan’s LNSS program and its contribution to LunaNet’s Lunar Augmented Navigation Service (LANS), an emerging global framework for interoperable lunar navigation. His insights into the joint JAXA-ESA-NASA specification efforts offer a timely perspective on international collaboration.
Samuele Fantinato of Qascom will walk through the success of the LuGRE receiver, which achieved the first GNSS fix on the Moon’s surface during the Firefly Blue Ghost mission. He’ll also preview the next generation of Moon-compatible GNSS + LCNS receivers under development.
Ricardo Verdeguer Moreno of Spirent will present high-fidelity lunar simulation results—including 3D terrain models of Shackleton Crater and system testing using simulated LEO satellites and Earth-based GNSS signals.
Whether you’re building spacecraft systems or simply tracking the future of space-based PNT, this webinar delivers timely insights into the challenges and breakthroughs of lunar navigation.
