NASA tasked with creating a time zone for the moon

The White House has directed NASA to establish a new time zone for the moon and other celestial bodies, aiming to standardize timekeeping for future space missions.

This initiative, known as Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC), seeks to enhance navigation precision and scientific endeavors in space.

Arati Prabhakar, head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), outlined the mandate in a letter, urging NASA to develop the time zone by the end of 2026.

The U.S. aims to collaborate with allies and partners to facilitate lunar exploration efforts, anticipating increased space activity from various stakeholders, The Hill reported.
