This submission will examine anticipated electromagnetic spectrum requirements for space communications over the next quarter-century in planning lunar and Martian spacecraft transit, navigation, orbiting, docking, and landing missions. Missions, goals, and requirements will be identified, including those necessary for Earth-based ground network antennas. Six nations/organizations are planning lunar or Martian space missions which will require collaboration to ensure that sufficient spectrum is identified and that there will be compatibility among all spacecraft, modules, capsules, probes, and relay satellites. The timeframe for introduction of missions will be proposed. Technical requirements for protocols, hardware compatibility and perhaps also interoperability among these nations/organizations will be postulated.
