The volume NEXUS is built to watch.
Earth to the Moon, to scale in structure if not in distance: the regime beyond GEO where custody is thin and maneuvers go untracked. Drag to explore.

You cannot defend a domain you cannot see.
Space surveillance was built for orbits close to Earth. Past GEO, coverage thins to almost nothing, while national-security interest in exactly that region grows every year. The gap is not one more telescope; it is the analytics layer that turns sparse, multi-source observations into custody, characterization, and warning.
The scale is on the record. The Space Force's Future Operating Environment 2040 puts the active satellite population near 60,000 by 2040, five times the roughly 12,000 flying today, and describes operations that run at machine speed. A population that size, spread across a volume today's catalogs were never built to cover, is not watched by adding analysts. It is watched by putting the processing at the edge and selling the answer.
Cislunar Domain Awareness
Detection, tracking, custody, and pattern-of-life analysis of objects from low Earth orbit through the cislunar volume: the vast, sparsely monitored region beyond geostationary orbit.
Onboard AI & Edge Computing
Processing where the data is collected. Onboard AI and edge computing turn raw observations into tracks and alerts in real time, so the picture an operator sees is current, not archival.
Analytics & Decision Support
Conjunction awareness, maneuver detection, and anomaly characterization delivered as products an operator or analyst can act on.
Data Products & Licensing
Subscription APIs and mission data bundles for national-security, civil, and allied customers, with tiered licensing and authenticated delivery.
From photons to decision, sold as a subscription.
The cislunar volume is roughly a thousand times the regime today's space surveillance was built for, and most of it is unwatched. NEXUS decomposes the problem the way an intelligence system does: collect everything, fuse it, keep custody, deliver a picture an operator can act on.
Multi-Source Collection
Ground-based and space-based sensing of the cislunar volume, alongside partner and open sources. The network is also a sensor: EVERLIGHT link geometry and contact histories feed the same picture. No single phenomenology covers the volume, so the architecture assumes many.
Fusion & Custody
AI-assisted multi-source fusion, running onboard at the edge as well as on the ground, built to hold custody through the regimes where legacy catalogs lose objects: transfer trajectories, halo orbits, lunar approach and departure. Custody through maneuver is the product, not an edge case.
The Cislunar Catalog
A maintained catalog of objects and events across the volume, with characterization and behavior over time, versioned and traceable the way the FORGE measurement corpus is. The catalog compounds: every observation makes the next answer better.
Decision-Grade Delivery
Subscriptions, feeds, and mission-tailored analytics for national security and civil customers, with the operator in the loop. Not a data dump: an answer, with the evidence behind it one click deep.
