Reloquence is charting maps of the Moon and Mars that include a network of rover traverses based on a planetary address framework called the Eskey System. To date, Reloquence has named and located 24 roads on the Moon and 8 roads on Mars. We hope to accelerate the advent of space mining and sustained human presence on the Moon and Mars by at least a decade. Longer term, we see the maps as forming the foundation for a space logistics platform, codenamed "Uber Space."

Reloquence is a pre-revenue, early-stage startup, launched from Founder Institute, an accelerator for investible C corps. The idea for the Eskey System came as the result of a branding exercise, mashing up my former career at NASA with my California real estate license.

My interest in astrotourism led to a realization that navigating on lunar maps was confusing due to the sheer number of craters with few other obvious landmarks. In October 2021, I wrote a white paper defining the syntax for the first planetary address framework based on a system of roads. Later, I wrote an executive report putting the framework into real-world use cases such as connecting caves and cutting through canyons on Mars.

The framework is general and extensible and can be applied to any planetary body with named quadrangles that is conducive to manned surface exploration. Simulations and analogs on Earth are precursors to sending a fleet of autonomous roadbots to lay down rover tracks on the Moon and Mars.
