NIST's approach is to implement a 'highly precise network of clocks at specific locations on the Moon's surface and in lunar orbits.'
According to NIST: 'These precise atomic clocks in lunar orbit would function as the 'satellites' of the lunar GPS network, providing accurate timing signals for navigation.'
NIST physicist Bijunath Patla said: 'It's like having the entire Moon synchronized to one 'time zone' adjusted for the Moon's gravity, rather than having clocks gradually drift out of sync with Earth's time.'
