Remcom Secures NASA Contract for Lunar Communication Enhancements

September 23, 2025
Remcom has received a NASA SBIR Phase I contract to improve wireless communication for Artemis spacesuits and lunar rovers, enhancing astronaut connectivity on the Moon.

NASA has awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Remcom to advance wireless channel modeling for antennas on astronaut spacesuits and lunar vehicles, announced in a press release. This initiative aims to enhance communication links for astronauts on the Moon's surface, supporting the Artemis lunar exploration missions.

Remcom will utilize its Wireless InSite® 3D Wireless Prediction Software to address the challenges posed by complex materials in modern spacesuits, which affect antenna radiation and transmission. The project will employ Huygens surfaces to integrate near-field and far-field antenna behavior, optimizing device-to-device communications between astronauts. Additionally, new acceleration methods will reduce simulation runtimes significantly, facilitating faster analysis of dynamic scenarios.

The technologies developed through this contract will not only meet the specific needs of the Artemis missions but also benefit commercial wireless device design, particularly for wearables and on-body sensors in complex environments.
