AiRANACULUS has been awarded a NASA contract to develop a communications platform for lunar exploration, incorporating AI and machine learning technologies.

AiRANACULUS has been awarded a NASA contract to develop an advanced communications platform to support lunar exploration, announced in a press release. The Massachusetts-based company will design a dynamic network architecture to enhance the range and reliability of communications on the Moon's surface.

The platform will be a critical component for NASA's Artemis missions, which aim to explore the Moon and Mars. AiRANACULUS will collaborate with experts from Virginia Tech and University of Houston to address the unique challenges of lunar communications, such as the Moon's complex geography and the infeasibility of underground fiber infrastructure.

The solution will integrate spectrum-aware cognitive radio technology and 3GPP Integrated Access and Backhaul, while also supporting legacy NASA radio devices. Additionally, AiRANACULUS will incorporate its INSPIRE dynamic Quality of Service management platform to optimize network performance across multiple vendors.
