Plus Ultra and ispace signed a collaboration agreement on 2022-01-20 that includes transport and deployment of Plus Ultra’s Harmony minisatellites as soon as 2024.
Plus Ultra’s full Harmony constellation will provide continuous high-speed communications of up to 100 megabits per second between any location on or around the moon and anywhere on Earth.
Plus Ultra Space Outposts is planning a lunar satellite constellation called Harmony to provide continuous, high-speed communications of up to 100 Mbps between any location on or around the Moon, including cislunar orbit, and anywhere on Earth.
The completed Harmony constellation would consist of eight satellites orbiting in two planes at 6,0 m above the lunar surface and would use laser communications links.
Harmony is designed to deliver about 100 megabits per user and global coverage and to offer a GPS-like navigation system for the lunar environment.
The completed Harmony constellation would provide 100% coverage of the lunar surface.
The Crew Dragon spacecraft Endurance docked with the forward port of the Harmony module of the International Space Station at 6:32 p.m. Eastern on 2021-11-11.
Endeavour docked with the International Space Station’s Harmony module at 5:08 a.m. Eastern on 2021-04-24.
SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience undocked from the forward port on the International Space Station’s Harmony module on 2021-04-05 at 6:30 a.m. Eastern.
Resilience moved out 60 m from the International Space Station before docking with the Harmony module’s zenith port on 2021-04-05 at 7:08 a.m. Eastern.
The Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience is scheduled to dock autonomously to the forward port of the station’s Harmony module about 11 p.m. on 2020-11-16.
Endeavour undocked from the station’s Harmony module at 7:35 p.m. Eastern on 2020-08-01.
Axiom Space plans to attach a commercial module to the Harmony (Node 2) docking port in late 2024 equipped with docking ports and an Earth Observatory that is a larger version of the station’s cupola.
NASA selected Axiom Space on 2021-01-27 to gain access to a docking port on the station’s Harmony (Node 2) module.
The 2019-06-21 solicitation allows for the possibility of establishing a commercial segment on Harmony consisting of multiple commercially developed elements.
NASA plans to release a solicitation on 2019-06-14 to give companies access to a docking port on the Harmony module for attachment of a commercial module.
SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft on mission Demo-1 undocked from the International Space Station’s Harmony module at 2:32 a.m. Eastern on 2019-03-08.
The Dragon spacecraft from CRS-15 is scheduled to arrive at the ISS on the morning of 2018-07-02 and berth with the station’s Harmony module.
