Rules of the Road: Engineers Have Built a Traffic Control System for the Moon
Engineers have designed a traffic‑control system to manage the near‑rectilinear halo orbit that will serve future lunar bases.

Engineers have designed a traffic‑control system to manage the near‑rectilinear halo orbit that will serve future lunar bases. The egg‑shaped orbit is influenced by the gravity of the Moon, Earth and deep‑space forces, creating a complex pathway for spacecraft. NASA’s upcoming lunar outpost is expected to host multiple vehicles simultaneously, prompting the need for coordinated rules similar to a highway system. The new system aims to prevent conflicts and ensure safe navigation as traffic around the Moon increases.
