Selecting the Beacon Locations in a Radio Navigation System for Lunar Missions

Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

In the present work, an existing approach to the deployment of navigation system for use in lunar missions is further developed. The operation of radio navigation systems based on the mean wavelength and the query model of data transmission is discussed. The navigation stations are assumed to be deployed in the vicinity of potential landing points and the site of the lunar base. The beacon distribution is selected so as to ensure maximum coverage and expansion of the navigation zone, taking account of the actual relief of the lunar surface in the specified sectors.
