TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.: ATLAS Space Operations, including its wholly owned subsidiary Freedom Space Technologies, announced today the successful completion of a series of demonstrations showcasing its Freedom® Software Platform's ability to integrate diverse government and commercial satellite ground station networks for the U.S. Air Force Research Lab and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). These demonstrations validated a transformative approach to satellite ground operations, providing secure, scalable, and resilient space data transmission.
Through the DIU Hybrid Space Architecture project, ATLAS demonstrated the Freedom platform's capability to manage and orchestrate multiple disparate networks, ensuring timely data transmission while maintaining information assurance and security. The software's architecture, built on best-in-class commercial practices, features software-defined controls, interfaces, and security, ensuring flexibility and trust amidst rapid technological changes.
Key objectives achieved during the project include integrating commercial networks, such as the ATLAS global network and Viasat’s Real-Time Earth, onboarding DoD assets, and enabling rapid access for federal users, including the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC). The Freedom UI provided an intuitive, web-based interface for operators to manage satellite contacts across these diverse networks, while advanced cyber controls, aligned with DFARS/NIST 800-171 standards, secured data and communications.
"By unifying disparate ground networks through a secure, cloud-native interface, we’ve demonstrated how Freedom transforms satellite operations into a scalable, software-defined service," said Brad Bode, CTO & Co-Founder, ATLAS Space Operations. "This architecture not only ensures rapid onboarding and cross-network orchestration but also delivers resilient, mission-ready connectivity aligned with the DoD’s need for agile and secure space access."
Key outcomes of the demonstrations include:
