The newly founded United States Space Force has revealed intentions to establish CHPS or the Cis-lunar Highway Patrol System.
We’ll need a mechanism to monitor space trash and the expanding number of missions orbiting the moon and beyond as human activity expands outward into the solar system. The newly founded United States Space Force has revealed intentions to establish CHPS or the Cis-lunar Highway Patrol System. CHPS will give a serious study into space traffic farther out in orbit around the Earth-moon system, despite its name harkening back to a certain corny TV series from the 1970s. Private enterprises and space organizations are expected to return to the moon in large numbers in the following decade, necessitating the creation of such a network. The issue was recently exposed when a rocket booster collided with the moon on March 4. Despite being far from unique, this was one of the first “lost items” to be found just before impact.
