NASA USES GPS ON THE MOON FOR THE FIRST TIME

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost has successfully demonstrated the ability to use Earth-based GPS signals on the Moon. Accurate and reliable navigation will be vital for future missions to the Moon. NASA currently tracks spacecraft using a mix of onboard sensors and Earth-based tracking signals, which generally requires oversight from a team of engineers. Using GNSS could reduce the need for human operators as the signals can be autonomously picked up by spacecraft.
