technology company <\/span>AiRanaculus <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has received a $5 million award from NASA for its technologies to be used to support NASA lunar and space communications networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under a $5 million Civilian Commercialization Readiness Pilot Program (CCRPP) contract from NASA announced June 25, AiRanaculus will enhance two products \u2014 CLAIRE and INSPiRE \u2014\u00a0to support lunar and space networks, working with NASA Ames Research Center and industry collaborators including NVIDIA, Nokia Federal Solutions, Dell Technologies, Curtiss-Wright, Supermicro, and Radisys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nokia has a contract with NASA <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to deploy the first cellular network on the Moon<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AiRanaculus said its technologies \u201cwill enable more flexibility and resilient communications between lunar surface operations, lunar orbiting systems and cislunar infrastructure.\u201d The NASA CCRPP is a 24-month effort that will focus on advancing the TRL of the two products through integrated testing and space flight demonstrations in partnership at NASA Ames.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom resilient defense communications and interference-aware 5G systems to autonomous space networking, CLAIRE and INSPiRE represent the next evolution of intelligent communications infrastructure where reliability is mission critical, whether on Earth or beyond,\u201d said Dr. Apurva Mody, founder and CEO of AiRanaculus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a
