Lunar Outpost’s Stargate Ground System Software is an all-encompassing mission control solution for spacecraft operation, data management, and payload operations.⁠ It enables humans to teleoperate robotic systems and task them with complex autonomous functions. Stargate can simultaneously command multiple spacecraft for various purposes, including testing, simulation, development, and flight, with customizable operator permissions. It can be configured for payload customers to access essential features like command execution and telemetry viewing. Additionally, Stargate supports the creation of mission-specific dashboards, offering flexibility and detailed insights. Stargate's configuration management capabilities enable missions to be crafted with 'Test Like You Fly' principles, allowing for earlier integration of spacecraft into the ground software. This accelerates mission timelines and ensures mission readiness. With Stargate, mission operations are secure and efficient, paving the way for advanced space exploration. #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech

Happy Fourth of July from Lunar Outpost! Today, we honor and celebrate the spirit of independence - past and present - that has propelled us to new frontiers! #TheNextLeap #4thOfJuly #IndependenceDay Photo credit: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration 

Designed to tackle the extreme lunar environment, Lunar Outpost's MAPP rover introduces unprecedented autonomy for planetary rovers, expanding humanity’s ability to operate sustainably in space. Using advanced cameras and sensors, MAPP autonomously navigates and avoids hazards. Unlike Earth-based autonomy technology, which heavily relies on satellite navigation systems such as GPS, MAPP's navigation systems are engineered to operate seamlessly in GPS-denied lunar terrain, using visual cues and wheel data to maneuver the lunar terrain confidently.  MAPP's lightweight, efficient systems withstand space's harsh conditions, ensuring reliability and minimizing mission risks. With its autonomous capabilities, MAPP speeds up mission timelines, enabling efficient lunar exploration. Join us for Lunar Voyage 1 this year as MAPP makes history as the first commercial rover on the Moon and the first to reach the lunar south pole! #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Innovation

The Lunar Outpost team successfully conducted another drive test of our Lunar Voyage 1 MAPP rover. This test was executed using our mission control center and a simulated lunar environment at our Lunar Outpost facilities. The mission simulation focused on our operational protocols and procedures for controlling and interacting with the rover through our Stargate Ground Station software. Tests like these provide invaluable insights, allowing us to fine-tune our procedures and technologies to ensure a successful lunar mission. #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #MissionControl #SpaceTech #Innovation

Lunar Outpost is committed to developing advanced technologies to enable a sustainable presence in space while enhancing life on Earth. Our journey began with the development of the Canary, a cutting-edge continuous environmental monitoring system adapted from technology originally designed for the NASA Lunar Gateway. The Canary is engineered to measure targeted pollutants such as Particulate Matter, tVOC, and methane, providing actionable data for any local environment. Its exceptional flexibility makes it ideal for various entities, including schools, cities, forest services, and resource companies. By addressing critical air quality issues, the Canary plays a vital role in the expanding air quality industry. #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #OutpostEnvironmental #AdvancedTech #Innovation #Engineering NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Meet Jonathon McNabb – Lunar Outpost Ground Software Lead! Jonathon’s passion for space began at the Colorado School of Mines during a field session course. Working with Lunar Outpost staff inspired him to pursue an internship, eventually leading to a full-time role after graduation. At Lunar Outpost, Jonathon leads the development of mission control solutions with his team, focusing on the Stargate platform. This platform facilitates the monitoring and commanding of flight systems, digital twin technology, payload/customer enablement, and more. Jonathon’s role ensures that once we’re in space, the operator consoles running Stargate provide the critical insights necessary for our missions. Jonathon believes Lunar Outpost’s missions will have a tremendous impact. He says, “The solutions we build for space have significant implications here on Earth; today’s developments fuel future advancements and everyone at Lunar Outpost is part of this progress.” His inspiration to join the space industry stems from his favorite movie, Apollo 13. Watching it in middle school, he was awed by the engineers solving seemingly impossible problems to save lives. That sense of purpose and teamwork inspired him to pursue a career in the space industry. Jonathon says, “Working at Lunar Outpost can be surreal - every challenge we overcome together brings us closer to groundbreaking achievements that benefit all of humanity.” #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #SpaceTech #Moon #Mission
