THE increase of human activity on the lunar surface that can be expected to follow the first manned landings will present a special problem in translunar communications. The lack of an ionosphere about the Moon, the lack of any appreciable atmosphere on the lunar surface, and the nearness of the lunar horizon, require solutions to this problem that may be somewhat different from those most easily available on the Earth's surface. Extended radio coverage about the lithosphere, such as occurs on Earth because of the atmospheric density gradient and temperature inversions, will not be possible because of the vanishingly low density of any gaseous envelope that may exist around the Moon.
