## Caption

At Number 9️⃣ on the #UNOOSATop10 highlights, we got the work of the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG), to which UNOOSA serves as Executive Secretariat.

This year, the ICG agreed to establish a new, 5th Working Group on Lunar Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT); the work of which will be closely coordinated with the Action Team on Lunar Activities Consultation (ATLAC), also established in 2024. 

Lunar PNT will be required for:

🚀 Vehicles in transit between the Earth and Moon,

📡 Accurate navigation for landers and rovers,

🌚 Mapping the Moon's Surface. 🏘👨‍🚀👩🏿‍🚀 Supporting Lunar infrastructure.

⛏️ Resource exploration and utilisation.

⏰️ Timekeeping.

👥🌐 The ICG has also agreed on the necessity to work more closely with private sector companies, who are also Low-Earth Orbit PNT providers, to maintain the standards for compatibility of GNSS systems and protecting spectrum. ICG Working Groups will organize workshops and other efforts related to LEO PNT in 2025, focused on promoting the development of standards for performance specifications and interoperability.

🇦🇺🇳🇿🇺🇳 Finally, we were grateful to the support of Land Information New Zealand and Geoscience Australia for co-hosting the Eighteenth meeting of the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems from 7 – 11 October 2024.
