StellarStation

Cloud platform for renting time on ground station antennas owned by others, so small-satellite operators can download data and send commands without owning antennas.

Why it matters

Building a global antenna network is expensive and most antennas sit unused between satellite passes. Sharing that idle time gives newer operators wider coverage at lower cost and gives station owners extra revenue.

How the technology works

Station owners connect their antennas to StellarStation and offer spare passes. Satellite operators book contacts through the cloud platform instead of contracting each station separately.
