Lunar & Deep Space
Commercial Deep Space Communication
The world's first private deep space communications network
Since 2021, Goonhilly Earth Station has supported the exploration of lunar and deep space, providing services for international space agencies and private organisations. We are the first privately-owned company in the world to offer this service.
Modifications to our 32 m and 30 m antennas have allowed for their qualification as part of NASA's Deep Space Network and ESA’s ESTRACK Network, demonstrating the high standard to which our systems and facilities have been developed.
This unique service presents a cost-effective means of accessing communication and ranging services for spacecraft beyond geostationary orbit, with flexible antenna design also allowing customers' proprietary systems to be supported.
As space agencies and private companies alike set their sights on the Moon and beyond, communication links you can trust are non-negotiable.
Our deep space services cover:
- Lunar and cis-lunar communications and navigation
- Mars missions
- L1, L2 Lagrange point missions
- Missions in Earth-orbit
- Other solar-system destinations
With two large antennas already established in the UK, we are also in the process of deploying multiple antennas around the world to establish full, global coverage across our network for customers.
