Everlight / Cislunar infrastructure
Power and navigation for everyone operating at the Moon.
Everlight is Constanellis's cislunar infrastructure program: power, awareness, navigation and communications, intended to interoperate with LunaNet.
Why shared infrastructure
Shared power, communications and timing let missions buy infrastructure services instead of carrying every function themselves. The completed LunA-10 study examined that commercial economy. It is the model behind the work here.
One economy. Connected work.
Follow an interface from the operating need to the work behind it. Artist's concept.

Explore productionWhat connects to the mission
Four interfaces.
- Power
- Energy at the operating site, connecting supply to the work that needs it.
- Navigation
- A shared position and timing reference for surface and orbital users.
- Communications
- Links intended to interoperate with LunaNet networking and relay services.
- Awareness
- Conditions and activity around the mission, shared across users.
Built to interoperate
LunaNet defines common interfaces for communications, navigation and related lunar services. Everlight's communications and navigation interfaces are intended to interoperate through that framework.
Built for the mission arriving next.
Lunar landers, surface assets, orbital vehicles and payload operators that need power, navigation and a connection to the rest of the mission.
