"Challenges of Enforcing Radio Silence on the Moon's Far Side"

The International Academy of Astronautics is advocating for the preservation of radio silence on the far side of the Moon to protect its use as an ideal location for radio telescopes to pick up faint signals from the cosmic past. However, with increased lunar activity and plans for constant communication with lunar assets, such as NASA's Lunar Gateway and China's satellite constellation, the quiet days of the far side may be drawing to a close. This raises concerns among astronomers about the potential compromise of future observations of the cosmos and the need for regulations to protect the Moon and other celestial objects.
