GSaaS API
Our public frontend API for all customer missions and pass operations. Customers can use our API to setup users, pre-configure satellite characteristics and licensing, book and manage passes, receive real-time and recorded diagnostics and manage billing.
Phased Array
Unique, 3D, natively-wideband array elements offering broad sky scanning and awareness capabilities.
Software Defined Radio (SDR)
Takes the VITA-49 RF data stream from the beamformer which then demodulates and decodes it based on the configuration defined for each mission or pass. The SDR's also work in the reverse direction when the pass is used for uplink.
Storage
Customer data is recorded and cached temporarily within the ground station. The cached data is then consumed by the data redirector for delivery to the customer-defined target.
Quasar Portal
Seamlessly book satellite passes using our easy-to-use, intuitive pass booking system offering a best in class user experience.
Controller
Orchestrates each of the ground station components to ensure that they are properly coordinated during passes. The controller also ensures that the resources within the ground station are managed efficiently, and ensures customer data remains isolated and secure.
Beamformer
Digitally constructs a steered beam using RF data from individual elements of our phased array. The beamformer produces a single VITA-49 stream of RF data for each beam in use, which it then sends on to other systems within the ground station.
Gatekeeper
Sets-up secure VPN connections to customer endpoints for both sending recorded data and retrieving data for uplinks. Optionally, the gatekeeper can also send and retrieve for endpoints in the cloud, such as AWS and Azure.
Analytics
Collects diagnostics and logging information from all components as passes occur so that customers have visibility of the RF and data characteristics during their missions. This includes spectral and noise data as well as data on modulation and decoding.
