Spanish company GMV is bringing GPS to the Moon


Multinational technology company GMV is developing GPS navigation for the Moon.

GMV, a Spanish capital business group with extensive experience in the space sector, has announced a navigation system for the Moon akin to GPS. The technology leverages existing Moon-orbiting satellites and signals similar to GPS to help rovers and astronauts find their real-time exact location on the Moon's surface. This system will also be adapted to particular areas of interest (for example, the lunar south pole, the far side of the moon, and permanently shadowed regions)," the company adds.
