How It Works
From TLE to Telemetry in Three Steps
STEP 01
Ingest Your TLE
Submit your NORAD catalog ID or TLE set via the API or contact form. Our propagation engine computes pass predictions for the next 7 days across all available stations, accounting for minimum elevation masks and frequency band availability.
STEP 02
Schedule a Contact Window
Select an AOS/LOS time slot, preferred aperture size, and frequency band. The scheduler performs real-time conflict checking across all active reservations and confirms your contact window — typically within minutes.
STEP 03
Receive Your Data
CCSDS-framed packet capture is delivered to your designated cloud endpoint immediately post-contact. Telemetry logs, Doppler tracking data, and contact reports are available via the API within minutes of LOS.

Geographic Distribution
Four operational stations span the Pacific Rim, North Atlantic, Mid-continent, and Southern hemisphere access zones. Station positioning is optimized for high-inclination LEO pass geometry, providing overlapping coverage windows for polar, sun-synchronous, and near-polar operators.
Each station operates 24/7 with scheduled maintenance windows disclosed at least 72 hours in advance. Contact redundancy routing is available for Constellation tier and above — if your primary station has a scheduling conflict, the system automatically offers an alternate window at the nearest compatible site.
All stations support CCSDS TC and TM framing, virtual channel multiplexing (up to 8 VCIDs per physical link), and full Doppler pre-compensation from AOS to LOS. We are not a satellite broadband provider — this infrastructure is built specifically for spacecraft operators who need reliable, schedulable antenna access.
