Satellite Operation

By combining our Satellite Services with our renowned Ground Station services, this is your one-stop solution for all ground operations.

Satellite Operations require high resiliency and availability of service, and as such operations is associated with significant investments into physical-, technical- and human resources. KSAT’s Satellite Operations Service allows customers to focus on their core business and utilization of payload data, while enabling costs associated with operations to be scaled as the spacecraft constellation grows.

This is achieved through a standardized service offering which provides economy of scale through a highly automated operations concept. 

The Satellite Operations Service consists of:

  • Satellite Control

  • Mission Control

  • Flight Dynamics

  • Data Management

At the heart of our service is our highly trained operations team with specialized knowledge of satellite operations. This dedicated team ensures the smooth functioning of your satellite missions, allowing you to confidently entrust us with management and monitoring of your valuable assets. 

Key benefits or our Integrated Mission Operation service:

Scalability

Traditional Mission Operations Service requires significant up-front investment into both human and technical resources. By utilizing KSAT’s service Satellite Owners can benefit from the flexibility of our multi-mission operations team and our technical solution, which reduces the need for up-front investments and allows Satellite Owners to grow their OPEX together with the growth of the constellation. 

Robust & Secure Operations

Robust and secure operations are essential for safeguarding downstream revenue by ensuring continuous, reliable satellite performance and data delivery. KSAT’s integrated solution reduces operational risk, protects against disruptions, and maintain high availability. This secure and reliable service framework enables customers to focus on generating value from their satellite missions, such as providing critical data to end-users, without worrying about operational failures or security vulnerabilities.

Event-driven operations

Our solution continuously monitors satellite health and performance and automatically recover or alert operators only when behavior deviates from expected norms. This proactive approach allows for swift anomaly resolution, optimizing operational efficiency, minimizing downtime while at the same time providing a cost-efficient solution. 

Service Offering

The baseline offer includes a set of standardized services that can be complemented by various options to meet mission specific Concept of Operations constraints, while at the same time provide a standardized user interface to facilitate operator ease-of-use and automation capabilities. 

KSAT’s Satellite Operations Center encompasses all essential functionalities for secure management of satellites throughout their lifecycle, from launch to decommissioning. The Operations Center employs stringent secvurity measures to safeguard both its physical infrastructure and technical equipment, ensuring the utmost integrity of the services provided.
