NASA artemis program sustained human presence ވަކުވެ establish — brief visits permanent infrastructure lunar gateway station surface habitats resource extraction. reliable shared waati standard — ދިވެހި taken granted.
artemis precision timing ކި
apollo missions 1960s 70s ވަކުވެ waati standard. missions days lasting navigation ދިވެہې ground-based tracking.
artemis fundamentally different. program envision:
permanent surface bases lunar south pole near operate continuous. ވަކުވެ gateway orbit station relay hub serve. multiple rovers robotic systems operate autonomous. commercial landers different nations companies arrive regular schedules.
systems kelen exact waati — all common. rover landmarks navigate clock orbital reference beacons synchronized. gateway approach landing clock coordination. ދިވެહې moon communication microseconds schedule.
lunar navigation — moon GPS
ދིވެහی GPS satellites atomic clocks synchronized. ބޮޅް satellites multiple signal arrival times tiny differences measure position.
NASA ESA lunar GPS system similar. ESA moonlight program lunar orbit satellites navigation communication services. NASA lunar communication relay navigation systems (LCRNS).
lunar GPS work satellites common waati — waati relativistic. ވަކުވެ orbit lunar satellite gravity time dilation ދިވެහި surface clock GPS satellites relativity correct. coordinated lunar time (LTC) foundation.
artemis timeline
artemis program timeline LTC development schedule:
artemis i (november 2022) — space launch system orion spacecraft uncrewed test ވަކުވެ kɔnɛ. timing ދިވެហې tracking.
artemis ii (2025) — space launch system first crewed ވަކުވެ kɔnɛ 1972 apollo 17. ދިވެហې tracking.
artemis iii (2026-2027) — first crewed landing lunar south pole. mission initial LTC framework benefit especially precision landing surface.
artemis iv beyond — lunar gateway orbit station assembled. multiple nations commercial partners surface assets. full ވަކުވެ infrastructure essential.
beyond moon — mars deep space
LTC establish learning mars timekeeping apply gravity time dilation mars different (mars ދிވެহی ~38%) communication delays ~24 miniti real-time ދިވެહی impossible.
