An interagency workshop in May 2021 on guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) verification and validation (V&V) methods and techniques identified needs for the formulation and public release of relevant V&V benchmark problems as a practical way forward for the discipline. A decision was made by the NASA Technical Fellow for GNC and the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) GNC Technical Discipline Team (TDT) to produce a benchmark problem focusing on the problem of space observatory precision pointing. This report contains the results of the NESC assessment.

Since the beginning of the space age, the Moon has been proposed as a platform for astronomy. The Moon provides unique capabilities for astrophysics observations. NASA’s Artemis plan to return humans to the Moon in the mid-2020s in a sustainable manner provides an opportunity to advance synergistic approaches between human and robotic exploration. This NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) workshop assesses the feasibility and value proposition of using the Moon as a location for performing unique science observations, leveraging Artemis-era infrastructure while evaluating risks and key engineering challenges.
