From a recent article in The Hindu Moon to have no-fly zones by month end, NASA announces no-fly zones on the Moon! By the end of the month NASA will be declaring a long list of landing sites and artifacts from the Apollo missions as “historical sites” and “property of the US government”. These locations will be considered off limits. “Apollo 11 and 17 sites [will] remain off-limits, with ground-travel buffers of 75 meters and 225 meters from each respective lunar lander,” states the July 20 guidelines of NASA, obtained by the Science journal.

According to Science,
by the end of the month NASA is expected to provide a set of “recommendations”
for spacecraft and astronauts visiting the “U.S. government property on the
moon.” However, these recommendations will not be legally binding due to the
1967 Outer Space Treaty, which clearly states that the lunar surface has no
owner.
