About
Nuna means land in Greenlandic.
Greenlandic friends and coworkers gave us the name and their blessing, on one condition: that the mission stays good and green. We intend to keep it.
The Arctic is changing faster than it is being measured.
Satellites cannot see through cloud or polar night, so what happens on the ground has to be measured on the ground. Stations are expensive to reach and expensive to connect, so there are fewer of them than the science needs.
Every station that can afford to report is another piece of the record. That is the whole point of the work.
Origin
From a thesis to a company
The node started as a bachelor thesis at DTU, an 868 MHz LoRa mesh node built to survive the Arctic and tested in a climate chamber to -40°C.
The team formed at DTU X-Tech in spring 2026, won the PSV Advancement Award, and moved into X-Tech+ and the DTU Skylab Incubator. We were called Celium until September 2026.
We are seven people. Getting data out of a place with no coverage and no power used to mean sending someone to fetch it, which is a carrier pigeon with a helicopter bill. We thought the radios could do it instead.
