About GSaaS and StellarStation

Ground Segment as a Service

Ground Segment as a Service, or GSaaS, is the provision of ground segment infrastructure over the internet as a service.

These services can be remotely accessed by satellite operators for use during the satellite mission.

  2. Single contract for the network of networks of ground stations
  3. Single interface to book any Ground Station, to send commands, and to receive telemetry.
  4. Utilizing enterprise grade cloud-based services for data delivery rather than paying for elaborate and redundant global network infrastructure
  5. A large set of ground station locations supporting multiple frequency bands
  6. Better value passed to satellite operators by avoiding large capital expenditures on ground stations.
