Lunar infrastructure starts with interoperability
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced the 10-Year Lunar Architecture (LunA-10) capability study. The effort will examine how a future lunar economy might move from isolated, self-sufficient projects toward shareable and scalable infrastructure for power, communications, logistics, and other services.
The timing of that architectural work matters. Interoperability is easiest to praise before systems exist and hardest to achieve after every provider has optimized a private solution.
