A federated network is a network-of-networks. ATLAS built our federated global ground network so operators can access space through any ground antenna, with a single integration with Freedom.
Choosing to venture into satellite operations should not force your organization to also become a ground station operator. ATLAS has created a streamlined process for integrating customers, and through countless executions, has perfected a best-in-class onboarding experience.
From single satellites to constellation management, our Global Managed Network Services allow you to focus on your mission and data, while passing the burden of the ground network to us.
ATLAS customers integrate once with our highly-available, cloud-based platform; then we orchestrate full-duplex connectivity to our federated network of ground stations. When ATLAS integrates additional sites, our customers gain additional access to space without new and expensive secondary integrations.
Legacy space communication models require your Operations Center to be networked directly with each ground site – this creates a complicated nest of connections that are expensive to manage and secure. With ATLAS, all your telemetry and commanding flows through a single, secure interface.
Our proprietary Flex Scheduler works unlike any other in this industry. Learn how ATLAS uses simulations and forecasting to share antenna time across multiple customers to meet the mission requirements of each, but without the high cost of exclusive access.

As a Ground Software as-a-Service provider, ATLAS provides more than just infrastructure. The Freedom® Platform adds real value via software solutions, saving you expensive engineering resources to building a robust operations center.
Every pass autonomously executes the Freedom Task Validator to confirm proper system functionality with customer-specific checks. The output is visualized in the Freedom UI, serving critical data to inform you if an anomaly is with the ground system or the satellite.
No matter what baseband equipment you’re integrating with, Freedom can translate your commands and telemetry into a format compatible with the hardware at each site in our federated network. Giving you more access to space without buying expensive bespoke modems for each site.
The Freedom Platform controls and monitors all site hardware continuously to maintain network monitoring. In real time, we normalize and forward the same metrics ATLAS uses to all our clients so that you have transparent insight into system status.
Testing & Simulation
The gold standard of “test-like-you-fly” is an end-to-end RF compatibility test using real baseband equipment and an RF chain
Test each Mode of Operation for your spacecraft and finalize flight-ready configurations to ensure success from your very first pass.
AIB hardware configuration is exercised via Freedom software, thereby validating successful API integration of both the data plane and the control.
The AIB is shipped directly to your facility and accompanied by an ATLAS RF Engineer to provide hands-on assistance and ensure successful testing.
ATLAS employs best-in-class software and networking standards to maintain security, including Extended Detection and Response, Next-Generation and Web Application Firewalls, Principle of Least Privilege, Defense in Depth, Multi Factor Authentication, Role-Based Access Control, FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption, and more.
Freedom employs segregation of data by AWS account so that your critical cloud applications, data streams, and recordings are logically separated, virtually eliminating the risk of data leakage.
Telemetry and commanding data are double encrypted, both at rest and in transit, both in the cloud and at the ground sites.
The Freedom UI provides easy access to your single-tenant, encrypted S3 bucket which securely serves all data files associated with each pass for easy download.
Access to comprehensive global RF licensing expertise that supports ground station licensing, as well as guiding you through the approval journey.
Experienced RF and network engineers, along with program managers, with a rich history of successful site builds, even in the most remote locations.
Qualified ATLAS field engineers are ready to implement custom hardware solutions or modifications to existing equipment to support your mission.
With ATLAS you receive automated, real-time 24/7 alerting with immediate triage/response and customer notification of site anomalies.
