WTA’s Executive Dialogue Series: Brad Bode, CTO, ATLAS Space Operations – The Power of a Federated Network

ATLAS Space Operation is unleashing the power of a federated network powered by Freedom™.

ATLAS CTO & Co-Founder, Brad Bode, sits down with the World Teleport Association (WTA) for their Executive Dialogue Series to discuss the ATLAS Federated Network and what this means for its clients and the industry.

A federated network is simply a network of networks. Through a single API, satellite operators can access ATLAS-owned and operated ground stations and any integrated third-party partner – such as AWS Ground Station and Viasat Real-Time Earth.

Unlike other ground station providers, ATLAS provides a seamless experience for accessing space. Through a uniform API and data delivery system, your data is processed consistently regardless of the provider, freeing up your team to focus on the mission at hand without concerns about hardware or software compatibility.

Making Space for Software

The space industry is a complex and rapidly evolving domain, where multiple factors must come together to launch a satellite successfully into orbit. Manufacturers, providers, infrastructure, partners, funding, and various other elements contribute to space missions. Often overlooked in this process is the critical aspect of “phoning home,” or communicating with satellites once they are in space.

The State of the Ground Segment and Ground Software as a Service™

Satellite operators with a need for ground segments face a problem. On one hand, there is a need for high upfront expenditure and expertise to build a network of ground stations at multiple locations around the world. On the other, up to a certain constellation size, those ground stations stand unused with an exception of a few daily passes. Further with the emergence of New Space, the needs of satellite operators evolved: missions became shorter, the time to operate and launch a satellite was dramatically reduced, and the budget dedicated to the ground segment decreased.
