NASANight
354 h
About fifteen Earth days without sunlight, every month. Power has to be stored, beamed or generated through it.
ATLAS · WIRES
354 hours of night · −173 °C · 1.28 light-seconds
Built for the lunar night.
Constanellis Aerospace builds the power, communications and qualified hardware that keep a permanent presence on the Moon running when the sun goes down.

The constraints
The Moon sets the requirements.
Every system we build answers one of four physical facts. None of them can be negotiated.
NASA
NASA / LROCold
−230 °C
Inside the permanently shadowed craters where the water ice is. Hardware has to be qualified for it before it flies.
FORGE
NASADistance
41%
Of the surface never faces Earth. The rest is 1.28 light-seconds away, and every mission competes for the same antennas.
HERMES
NASACost
$100k
Per kilogram, at the delivery price advertised for the next generation of landers. Every kilogram has to justify itself.

FORGE
Reindustrialization starts with parts that work where they fly. FORGE builds precision hardware in America, measures it under vacuum across the thermal swing of its mission and ships the record with every article. The same process control is what additive manufacturing and in-situ resource use need before anyone builds on the Moon.
