Abstract

The regulatory aspects of spectrum coordination are described. The definition of the shielded zone of the moon as a radio quiet zone is explained. The roles of the international Space Frequency Coordination Group and its Lunar and Planetary Exploration Intersessional Working Group are explained. Existing plans for lunar missions are reviewed, and the known radio frequency spectrum requirements are summarized. Implications and limitations to communication systems required to protect radio astronomy observations in the shielded zone of the moon are discussed.
