Cislunar Communications & Navigation

WIRES

Wireless Infrastructure for Remote Exploration Systems

WIRES is the communications and navigation backbone of the cislunar stack — the relay and position-navigation-timing layer that lets everything operating beyond Earth orbit be reached, know where it is, and send its data home. Connectivity and navigation, delivered as a utility instead of rebuilt for every mission.

The Backbone

Connectivity and navigation, delivered as a utility.

Everything operating beyond Earth orbit needs to be reached, to know where it is, and to send its data home. WIRES provides all three — so operators subscribe to infrastructure instead of flying their own.

Relay Network

Persistent communications between Earth, cislunar space, and the surface — including the far side and shadowed regions with no line of sight to Earth.

Position, Navigation & Timing

A PNT layer independent of Earth-bound ground stations — the equivalent of GPS for cislunar space, interoperable with emerging lunar network standards.

Ground Segment

Antennas, scheduling, and mission operations connecting customer spacecraft to the network and to their teams on the ground.

Relay-as-a-Service

Communications and navigation on a per-mission or subscription basis. Recurring infrastructure, not a one-off build — the highest-leverage layer of the stack.

Coverage, link budgets, and service-level detail available under NDA.

How it works

Built to be plugged into, not rebuilt.

Interoperable by design

Built to emerging lunar network standards with published interfaces, so government and commercial users plug in rather than rebuild.

A utility, not a project

Operators subscribe to coverage and navigation the way they buy connectivity on Earth — recurring service over one-off hardware.

Dual-use backbone

The same relay and PNT layer that serves commercial missions provides the nation assured access and awareness in cislunar space.

Capability briefings and relay-service terms are available under NDA to qualified government and industry partners.
