LUNET PLATFORM

An imminent, significant step in achieving the shared exploration vision is to land a human crew on the Moon. NASA has announced they will do this with their Artemis program. A lunar orbiting space station, Lunar Gateway, is in development internationally to facilitate various Moon surface, cislunar, and deep space missions. Space agencies and private companies alike are making substantial investments into commercial space ventures. Important examples are cargo transport, payload ride-shares, and in-situ resource utilization. This expansion of lunar exploration must be supported with reliable data services. The Lunet Platform's purpose is to ensure connectivity remains uninterrupted within the lunar environment.
