NASA Awards Solstar Space SBIR Contract to Develop Lunar Wi-Fi System
Solstar will develop Lunar Wi-Fi Access Point to provide robust, multi-band connectivity for astronauts, surface vehicles, and moon orbiting assets.
Solstar Space (Solstar), a pioneer in space-based communications, has been awarded a NASA Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract valued at $150,000 to develop a next-generation Lunar Wi-Fi Access Point (LWIFI-AP) to support the agency’s Artemis program and Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiatives.
NASA has identified critical communication infrastructure requirements to support its upcoming missions as momentum builds around lunar exploration. One crucial aspect of the Artemis and CLPS programs includes deployment of SWaP-efficient (Size, Weight, and Power) Wi-Fi and 3GPP communications hardware across a range of lunar assets. This will include landers, rovers, and habitats as well as cislunar (moon orbit) spacecraft and assets like the Lunar…
