Vartis Space Corp. has introduced the Vartis Space Clock, an open-source framework that enables independent synchronization of zero-time reference points for space operations without relying on Earth-based signals.

The company describes the clock framework as a step toward establishing a temporal infrastructure that supports satellites, lunar operations, and missions throughout the Solar System. The synchronization method aligns zero-time points outside physical location and provides deterministic outputs when run on identical hardware. The framework utilizes core mathematical modules and parameter-driven inputs and is available to the public for verification and adaptation.

Dr. Steven Moore, chief science officer at Vartis Space, said, "We are excited to introduce technologies and pathways that validate and advance new approaches to synchronizing and measuring time in space. This project invites global collaboration to solve one of the most profound challenges of off-world exploration."

The release offers zero-point calculation up to nineteen decimal places, independence from CPU clock timing, and the ability to generate time synchronization without hardware drift or external reference. The announcement signals the beginning of a wider effort to develop interoperable timekeeping systems suitable for multi-planetary operations.

References cited include technical articles and patents on time modeling, device methods, and policy developments. The open-source repository and further documentation are available through Vartis Space.
