Die NASA wurde gebeten, eine Zeitzone für den Mond zu erstellen. So würde es funktionieren

>As the world prepares for [a new space race](https://www.npr.org/2023/08/25/1196002199/the-new-space-race-is-on-and-everyone-is-headed-to-the-moon), the Biden Administration is calling on NASA to create a moon-based time standard. That’s because time ticks by faster on the moon relative to Earth.

>The difference is very small, but space flight needs extreme precision. And when lunar spacecraft and satellites operate on an Earth-based time standard, that difference could create problems, according to a [memo](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Celestial-Time-Standardization-Policy.pdf) issued by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy this month.

>Hanlon said taking this step towards a unified approach to space travel is important for establishing international collaboration on the moon.

>“I hope that this is the beginning of a collaboration. When we think about the geopolitical circumstances down here on Earth, it doesn’t look particularly hopeful,“ she said.

>Hanlon said that because several players in today’s space race are looking to land near the moon’s south pole, figuring out an international standard will be crucial.
