Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC), a single standard for timekeeping on the Moon and other celestial bodies, is to be established by NASA. Time standards, as opposed to time zones, help define time intervals and facilitate timekeeping. Given the disparities in gravitational pull and the effects of stars, a standard is essential for planned lunar missions.
