NASA creating lunar time for moon missions by 2026

Summary: The U.S. government has tasked NASA with creating "Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC)" for the moon by the end of 2026. Due to less gravity, lunar time lags behind Earth by 58.7 microseconds daily. This initiative is crucial for upcoming moon missions, including sending humans to orbit in 2025 and to the surface in 2026, paving the way for Mars exploration. Standardizing time is essential for global lunar missions.
