Major Tom
Xplore's mission-operations software for tracking, scheduling, commanding and downlinking satellites, used for its own fleet and offered to other operators.
Why it matters
Small operators cannot afford to write their own ground software. A shared operations platform that works across ground-station networks cuts the cost of running a fleet.
How the technology works
Major Tom handles tracking, scheduling, commanding, downlinking and telemetry across multiple ground station networks from one cloud interface. Xplore uses it to fly XCUBE-1 and sells it to other operators as a service.
