This chapter firstly introduces different examples of Earth applications based on the integration of different communication, navigation and sensing technologies. Then, it focuses on a case study for space applications based on definition of high level concept of a satellite communication and definition architecture for Moon exploration. In particular, it describes different ODTS (Orbit Determination and Timing Synchronisation) technologies able to enable an accurate lunar satellite navigation service. A dedicated analysis for each identified ODTS technique is provided in terms of achievable performances, solution complexity, scalability and near term implementation. Then, a candidate baseline ODTS concept for a precise lunar radio navigation is reported with a detailed performance analysis in terms of SISE (Signal in Space Signal Error), assuming an initial target value of 25 m at 95% as main system design requirement.
