Civil Space

U.S.-Based Company. Providing Managed Network Services for the civil space market through a federated global ground network, powered by our Freedom Software.

Global Connectivity Solutions Created to Scale Seamlessly

ATLAS Space Operations is a US-based company born out of our commitment to advance ground-to-space communications for government projects.We proudly operate a global federated ground network of 50+ antennas, in 34+ ground stations, powered by our Freedom Ground Software as a Service. With Freedom, spacecraft operators get more than just access to our global antenna network. 

ATLAS architected our network to serve commanding and telemetry from all sites via a single IPSec VPN connection, saving you integration time and reducing vectors of attack. 

With built-in tools, like our FreeTime API and Visibilities API, you are able to discover free time on any antenna in the network, and verify there is no conflict with another customer. Meaning you spend less time hunting for a contact and more time planning your mission specifics.

Secure Managed Network Solutions for Civil Space

The ATLAS team has accumulated decades of actual flight-time operating satellites and extensive first-hand experience working in the commercial, civil, and DoD space sectors. Meaning we understand the nuances and specific requirements that can come with a government space project. 

ATLAS engineers have built our Freedom Ground Software as a Service so customers only need to integrate once with the cloud-hosted Freedom Platform to gain access to the entire ATLAS Federated Network. As ATLAS continues to grow our global network, you gain ground stations without additional expensive integrations.

So, whether you are operating a single spacecraft, or a constellation of satellites, you can trust ATLAS to serve your mission with the critical link to space.

Federated Global Ground Network

A federated network is a network-of-networks. ATLAS built our global federated network so operators can access space through any ground station, with a single integration with Freedom.

Choosing to venture into Satellite Operations should not force your organization to also become a Ground Station Operator. Focus on your mission while passing the burden of the ground network. ATLAS has created a streamlined process for integrating customers, and through countless executions, has perfected a best-in-class onboarding experience.
