A Revolutionary Space Project

In an ambitious leap toward understanding the universe's infancy, Blue Skies Space is launching Project "RadioLuna." This groundbreaking initiative aims to deploy a fleet of small satellites, known as CubeSats, positioned in lunar orbit to capture faint radio signals from the cosmic dark ages.

Why the Moon?

These ancient signals, originating when the universe was predominantly hydrogen gas, elude detection from Earth due to overwhelming man-made radio interference. By venturing to the Moon—free from such noise—scientists hope to unlock mysteries from a time long gone.

Cutting-edge Technology Meets Cosmic Exploration

Project RadioLuna will assess the practicality of using commercially available technology to operate these CubeSats around the Moon. Collaborating with major programs like ESA’s Moonlight and NASA’s Artemis, the project aims to establish reliable lunar communications and broader infrastructural support.

Powerful Partners in Space

While the contract value remains undisclosed, Blue Skies Space Italia, the project's leader, is joined by OHB Italia—renowned satellite system integrators tasked with crafting a viable orbital platform. This collaboration reflects a larger trend to harness lunar resources and explore new scientific frontiers.

A Bold Vision for Science and Beyond

Dr. Marcell Tessenyi, CEO and Co-founder of Blue Skies Space, expressed his vision: "This project emerges from global efforts to nurture the lunar economy. With the backing of the Italian Space Agency, we aim to explore unprecedented scientific opportunities, utilizing infrastructure from ESA and NASA."

Looking Ahead

As part of its mission, Blue Skies Space plans to launch its first satellite, Mauve, in October 2025. This satellite will focus on monitoring stars across the UV and visible spectrum, paving the way for future cosmic discoveries. Stay tuned as Blue Skies Space embarks on this exhilarating journey into the unknown!
