Today, Quintillion Networks and ATLAS Space Operations completed construction of the highest-latitude satellite ground station on US soil. This accomplishment is a significant step forward in the quest to close a critical gap in US security capabilities and provide ground station operations and downlink facilities for polar orbiting satellites. The ground station is now live and ready to serve existing and future commercial and government entities.

Orbit Communication Systems Inc., a leading provider of Earth Observation and New Space Ground Antenna Systems, announced today delivery of two additional Gaia-100 3.7M S/X band systems as key enablers to support ATLAS’ Global Network expansion and performance. The Gaia-100 empowers utilization of ATLAS’ Freedom™ Software Platform.

ATLAS Space Operations announced today a series of achievements regarding their revolutionary multi-band, multi-mission (MBMM) phased array antenna system. ATLAS’ prototype antenna is a scalable RF satellite communications system that requires only 10% of the space that comparable hardware solutions require. ATLAS was awarded a contract through the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) and in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for the development of a multi-band, multi-mission antenna system.
