The article contains the overview of perspective satellite navigation systems for other planets and objects of Solar System. The example of this conception for the Moon is considered. The paper contains the brief overview of Moon exploration perspectives. An overview of countries’ space agencies programs on the Moon with automatic and human missions. The problem of lunar and cislunar navigation is considered, the ways of its solution are overviewed. One of the possible cases for lunar and cislunar navigation system realization is to create the satellite system similar to the Earth’s GNSS using the existing experiences. The main goal of the article is the conception of lunar receiver designed for the lunar navigation satellite system in case it is similar to GLONASS. The formulas’ simplifications because of Moon’s features are considered, including: absence of atmosphere and as a result absence of ionospheric and tropospheric delays; more simple gravity field because of small flattering (almost spherical shape). The conclusions on perspectives of the lunar navigation are made.
