They said that because time zones make lunar missions more complex, this standardizes lunar operations and solves a fundamental problem with space travel.

The European Space Agency (ESA) tweeted, “How do we tell the time on the Moon? “, as part of its determined drive to establish a lunar time zone. A common clock is required for the new era of space travel. We are collaborating with NASA and other international partners to develop a standard time system that will enable lunar missions to coordinate, communicate, and navigate on their own.

The definition of a second is the same worldwide, even though it is understood that time will move more quickly on the Moon than it does on Earth. The ESA stated that it has not yet been determined whether a single organisation should be in charge of establishing and upholding lunar time, as well as if it should operate independently or be kept in synchronisation with the Earth.
