ESA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) led the simulated moonwalk with a realistic Moon setting. The space agencies will use the images as reference files for future lunar surface operations.
The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is preparing the ground for videos coming from future Artemis missions on the lunar surface. The CCSDS addresses the obstacles of receiving high quality images through the limited bandwidth available from the Moon.
