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.

Defense Speak Interpreted: Understanding What the Department of Defense Is, and Isn’t
05/12/2026 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedI frequently hear the expression, “Why can’t the Department of Defense … .” Most recently, I heard it in reference to the Artemis splash-down after the launch around the moon. I realized there is some misunderstanding about which military or space activities are controlled by the Department of Defense (DoD) and which are not. Defense is a huge organization with many activities, but there are several differences with non-Defense organizations that are worth pointing out.
