Lunar missions have always been considered the basis of the human space exploration. In this article a new synchronisation method will be presented, described and analysed, to widen the possibility to design future lunar and interplanetary programmes. Time and frequency distribution via-Satellite (TFDS) technique is a new method based on the idea that, while actual tracking techniques are based on a open-loop approach between satellites and ground stations, a closed-loop approach can deal to best accuracy and smaller delays achievable in the communication link. Such method has been applied to a lunar mission like one of those composing the Apollo programme and the results obtained are encouraging to develop further refinements.
