Six ways we work with partners.
Prime / subcontractor
We team as a prime on programs where our five-program stack is the right fit, and as a subcontractor on programs led by a larger integrator. We negotiate teaming agreements before proposal deadlines, not during them.
Platform co-development
Platform-level joint development on lunar, cislunar, or defense programs that combine our hardware and software stack with partner capabilities in adjacent areas (propulsion, launch, payload, ground segment).
Research partners
Collaborative research agreements with universities and national labs on autonomy, sensing, in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), materials science, and manufacturing processes. Formal CRADA structures, joint IP, and co-authorship where the work warrants it.
Integration and hosting
Third-party payloads hosted on our platforms. Third-party software running on our autonomy stack. Clear interface control, predictable integration schedules, and documented support.
Technology partnerships
Licensing, cross-licensing, and joint IP arrangements with commercial technology partners whose components sit upstream or downstream of our systems.
Consortia and standards
Participation in industry consortia and consensus standards efforts where coordination reduces cost and schedule risk across the ecosystem.
Where partners plug in.
Each layer of the architecture is built with published interfaces for third-party integration. Detailed interface control documents and accommodation specifications are available under NDA.
Modular payload accommodation with published mechanical, power, thermal, and data interfaces.
For developers who need a number a third party can check: a measurement definition, the boundary and conditions, and an uncertainty budget for a power-transfer claim, with characterization under agreed conditions as the program matures. In architecture.
Sourced briefs on infrastructure questions: what the evidence supports, what it does not, and where the gaps are, with every figure carrying its source and date. In development.
Precision optics, vacuum EO/IR qualification, and COTS-to-flight screening for partner-designed hardware.
Shared measurements, studies against a published method, and data requests, structured as a CRADA, a joint study, or a data agreement. Civil datasets are released as campaigns return data.
Not every contribution starts with a contract.
The Constanellis Collaborative Framework is built for more than traditional teaming arrangements. Researchers, policy thinkers, international programs, and domain experts are welcome to express interest in the program before a formal engagement is the right fit. The window to help shape the infrastructure layer is open now.
Research Partners
Universities, national labs, and independent research institutes. Tiered data access, joint-study agreements, CRADA structures, co-authorship, and platform access for experiments hosted on ATLAS or the EVERLIGHT network.
Relevant to: aerospace eng., autonomy, ISRU, materials, lunar science, PNT
Policy & Governance
Policy thinkers, international programs, and legal scholars working on cislunar governance, space resource frameworks, and spectrum coordination.
Relevant to: space law, ITU/COSPAR, national space policy, allied agencies
General Interest
Anyone with relevant expertise who wants to be in the room as the infrastructure layer is built. No formal role required to start the conversation.
Relevant to: any discipline that touches the cislunar economy
