Small one by me, too, with either my computer or fingers doing
autocorrect, it seems - "lunar or Mars service" on pg. 3-3 should have
been "surface" albeit now, looking at consistency, it should be "/in/
the lunar or Mars /region/". As we don't have a pfd/SINR floor for
accepted unwanted emissions in the related docs to know if orbital
(probably LLO, as Apollo demonstrated that you can orbit at 10's of km
perilune!), or incoming landers in descent phase, infrastructure can
interfere. We already know from previous analysis by SFU that you run
into problems to/from Earth once you get much below ISS altitude, using
ITU pfd limits and 3GPP-specified unwanted emission acceptance floors
(which are pretty much the input to the usual ITU and regional
regulatory body pfd limits). Rest of my text is "region" because of that.
