Spaceit’s Platform as an Orchestrator
of Ground Station Services

To make satellite operations more efficient and accessible, Spaceit has developed a unified orchestration platform that integrates ground station services from multiple providers, removing the need for missions to establish separate connections or interfaces.

Through strategically distributed ground stations across different regions, the platform enables communication with satellites in diverse orbits, ensuring low-latency data delivery and reliable connectivity.

By coordinating scheduling, contact management, and data flow across participating ground stations, Spaceit optimizes resource allocation and simplifies mission planning. A single, intuitive interface gives users end-to-end visibility and control over their operations, helping them manage connectivity, performance, and costs efficiently.

Infrastructure Agnostic

Cloud-agnostic infrastructure provides flexibility, cost efficiency, and reduced risk. It enables clients to choose the most suitable services and resources for their specific needs while avoiding vendor lock-in, ensuring interoperability, and supporting seamless migration across different cloud environments.

Spaceit MCS can also be deployed on-premises, offering organizations full control over their infrastructure when required.
