Mission Services
Mission Support as a Service (MSaaS) for Space!
You’re building something you want to launch into space (“Your Mission”). Your team is loaded with technical talent, giving you the capability to be successful, yet there are many non-technical aspects that impact your overall success. These may be related to branding, marketing, media, funding, partnering, and other “soft” areas where you can use some extra help. That’s where our Mission Support as a Service or MSaaS for Space comes in. We provide tools, access, and expertise to help with those things that may be outside your core capability and focus. Unlike other service providers, MSaaS for Space does not require any upfront commitment and you can select and use what you need, cafeteria-style. And, by the way, we do offer some technology-related services too. Below is a list of what we have to offer.
Getting Your Space Mission Off the Ground!
Media, Marketing, Branding, and Access to Talent via the New Space Signal Platform
New Space Signal (NSS) is poised to be the premier platform for space companies who want to get their messaging to the right audiences, connect with those who can fulfill challenging needs, or get help with funding. With access to numerous space digital media, social media influencers, industry experts, supporting professionals, funders, and enthusiasts, NSS will be an important, cost-effective tool for any space company, advocacy organization, and industry association.
Custom and Engaging Pre-Mission Media Content for Your Audience
In addition to New Space Signal, we specialize in helping companies get the word out about their coming missions through events, competitions, games (including VR/AR), and esports. We will look at your strategy and see what kinds of pre-mission content can help you meet your goals in an innovative and inexpensive manner. Whatever content we create for you will be advertised using New Space Signal. We will leverage our connections in other industries to increase your audience and bring more people to your event, game, or competition.
Help with Mission Funding Sources
We have two ways to help fledgling companies raise funds so they can develop their technologies and pay for their launches and missions. We are experts in crowdfunding and with our NSS platform and partnerships with well-known crowdfunding platforms, we can design a campaign or a series of campaigns to meet your goals. Additionally, NSS provides direct access to funders, from angels and seed to venture capitalists. Our multi-faceted approach will give your company the ability to fund your important activities.
Payload - Mission Matching
We work with both payload and lunar surface mission providers to match payloads and missions. With our extensive industry contacts, we can provide commercial payload services not just limited to manifesting but also exclusive access to our partner’s communications network among other benefits, often at a discount through our network. If you have a payload looking for a ride or a ride looking for payloads, contact us.
Technology Research & Partnering
We are specialists at bringing together different technologies so that the whole is greater than the sum of the individual efforts. For example, we’re working with an organization to help them demonstrate their lunar mobility system and expanding their concept of operations through our partners’ technologies. This will add value to their proposition and increase their chances of success. We are working with two universities (USA and Ireland) on technology research that will improve future lunar operations. Signaluna has extensive connections not only in the global space industry but also in many other technology industries such as AI, drones, and VR/AR. We will work with you to integrate or spinoff technologies you’re developing for your space projects to the many possible applications here on Earth.
Going to the Moon? We Can Help With That!
Access to World Class Optical Communications Network for Cislunar Missions
We have the killer app, a complete optical network that will transmit data from landers, rovers, and payloads on the Moon’s surface back to Earth in near real-time without bandwidth limitations. Today’s communication networks are akin to old dial-up service; our optical and RF communications partner CommStar Space Communications will provide service more like 5G, enabling hi-res video and other data to reach the ground quickly and efficiently. Things like limited teleoperation of mobility systems on the Moon will become a real possibility with CommStar’’s network.
As CommStar Space’s cislunar media and marketing partner, contact us to discuss how you can use the CommStar Space network to gain a competitive advantage!
Use of Virtual Moon for Marketing, Training, Education, and More
Signaluna is a preferred partner for Virtual Moon, which will be the best visual (VR) representation of our heavenly neighbor. Virtual Moon can be used for any lunar experience, from marketing to games to education. You can build an interested and engaged audience via Virtual Moon content and, for your mission, you can mimic your mission on Virtual Moon for all to witness. Virtual Moon content will draw in younger demographics, the kind you need to help you grow. Virtual Moon will be ready for use in late 2020 and we can help you realize your vision in virtual reality. Signaluna has extensive connections not only in the global space industry but also in many other technology industries such as AI, drones, and VR/AR. We will work with you to integrate or spinoff technologies you’re developing for your space projects to the many possible applications here on Earth.
Premier Space Media Creation and Distribution Services
Using our partner’s communication network, we will help you bring content back from the Moon and present it in engaging ways to the public or whatever audience you select. We’re also going to have competitions where we qualify operators to teleoperate assets on the lunar surface, from rovers to drones. These will be significant media opportunities for any lunar service provider. Plus, we’ll deliver related content on our terrestrial channels and social media to support media coming from the Moon. We will bring an audience to your unique content.
