Abstract
Lunar reference systems represent a fundamental aspect of lunar exploration.
This paper presents a review of the topic in the context of the ESA lunar
programme, MoonLight. This paper describes the current state of the art in the
definition of the lunar reference frame and introduces TCL, a lunar time scale
based on IAU resolutions. It also proposes several possible implementations of
this time scale for orbiting and ground-based clocks. Finally, it provides an
assessment of the improvement of the lunar reference frame that would result
from the addition of lunar retro-reflectors on the Moon surface and the use of
orbiter altimetry. This document is an appendix dedicated to lunar reference
system definition of a more global document dedicated to the presentation of
new concepts in orbit determination and time synchronization of a lunar radio
navigation system.
