To build a vibrant and sustainable commercial lunar economy, it is critical to design for interoperability from the start to ensure the interfaces are in place to enable shareable, scalable systems that work together. Utilizing DARPA’s 10-Year Lunar Architecture (LUNA-10) capability study, DARPA has established the Lunar Operating Guidelines for Infrastructure Consortium (LOGIC), bringing together stakeholders from commercial corporations, academia, and government entities to rapidly develop foundation technology concepts and standards for:

• Power
• Communications / Position, Navigation, Timing (PNT)
• Mobility
• In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) / Mining
• Robotics / Construction
• Market Analysis

LOGIC will facilitate working groups focused on the creation, adoption, and adaptation of technical standards to promote an interoperable lunar economy. This will be an iterative process to consider the impacts of new technologies as they emerge.
