Vartis Space Unveils 'Vartis Space Clock' — An Open-Source Framework for Independent Deep-Space Time Synchronization
November 17, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Vartis Space Corp. announced the launch of the Vartis Space Clock, a groundbreaking open-source framework designed to enable independent synchronization of zero-time reference points—without reliance on Earth-based signals.
The Vartis Space Clock represents an early but critical milestone in establishing a new temporal infrastructure for deep-space missions. By providing a method to align “zero-time points” that conceptually exist outside physical location, the framework offers a foundation for future timing systems capable of supporting satellites, lunar operations, and human and robotic missions across the Solar System.
“We are excited to introduce technologies and pathways that validate and advance new approaches to synchronizing and measuring time in space,” said Dr. Steven Moore, Chief Science Officer at Vartis Space. “This project invites global collaboration to solve one of the most profound challenges of off-world exploration.”
Released as an open-source package, the Vartis Space Clock includes core mathematical modules, parameter-driven inputs, and detailed documentation enabling verification, adaptation, and community-driven innovation. Its design focuses on generating time synchronization between two clocks independent of space, hardware drift, or external references—a capability with implications for secure communications, navigation, encryption, and mission-critical timing.
Key features include:
- Independent zero-point calculation to 19 decimal places
- Parameter-driven input architecture
- Independence from CPU clock timing
- Deterministic output on identical hardware configurations
This release marks the initial phase of a multi-stage effort by Vartis Space to develop resilient, interoperable timekeeping technologies essential for humanity’s transition to a multi-planetary presence.

Beyond the Board: Why More Defense Primes Are Moving Toward Rigid-flex for Lighter, More Reliable Systems
11/18/2025 | Jesse Vaughan -- Column: Beyond the BoardOver the past decade, the conversation around PCB innovation in aerospace and defense has often centered on high-density interconnects, advanced materials, and tighter design-to-fabrication collaboration. But the move toward rigid-flex is a quieter shift that has been gaining momentum, and it’s changing how primes and system integrators approach the physical architecture of mission-critical electronics.
