Week in Space Data, every Friday.
ATLAS Space Operations runs Freedom, a software-defined ground network that lets satellite operators schedule and manage contacts across a federated set of antennas worldwide.
ACTIVEATLAS Space Operations provides a software-defined ground network called Freedom that enables satellite operators to schedule and manage ground station contacts across a federated network of antennas worldwide. The platform offers automated satellite communication management and data delivery.
ATLAS takes a software-first approach to ground segment operations, connecting satellite operators with a federated network of ground station partners through its Freedom platform. The system automates contact scheduling, antenna pointing, data capture, and delivery, reducing the complexity and cost of ground segment management for NewSpace operators.
