As part of the study, CesiumAstro will identify the barriers, challenges, and solutions associated with integration of wideband active phased array terminals into NASA\u2019s Near Space Network (NSN).<\/p>\n<p>The agency\u2019s overarching goal is to create a reliable, robust, and cost-effective set of commercial services for space communications and navigation in which space mission users can seamlessly \u2018roam\u2019 between an array of space-based and ground-based networks.<\/p>\n<p>NASA\u2019s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program manages the agency\u2019s two main networks: the Deep Space Network for distant missions and the NSN for missions operating closer to Earth, operated through a mix of government and commercial entities. NASA seeks to create an interoperable architecture composed of a mixture of existing NASA and commercial services. The completion of this study may add to the evolution of NASA\u2019s NSN and the agency\u2019s vision for a resilient and robust space and ground communications and navigation infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCesiumAstro is honored to provide a commercially available product to advance reliable, secure, and continual space communications for long-term operations,\u201d said <strong>Shey Sabripour, founder and CEO of CesiumAstro<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to leverage CesiumAstro\u2019s existing expertise in active phased array space communications and explore innovative wideband solutions that can help guide NASA toward the successful commercialization of the Near Space Network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to learn about CesiumAstro\u2019s Ka-Band SATCOM Terminal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wP0T-Iz78Eg?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CesiumAstro, one of the industry leaders in active phased array communications technology for space and airborne systems, announced it was awarded a contract by NASA to perform a wideband satellite communications capability study to further the agency&#8217;s long-term goal of a smooth transition to fully commercialized communications services for near-Earth users.
