Infostellar and Antaris Join Forces for Automated Satellite Operations

In a pioneering move towards enhancing satellite operations, Infostellar, a prominent provider of ground segment services based in Tokyo, Japan, has announced its partnership with Antaris Inc., a leading U.S. provider of an AI platform for space missions. This collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), aims to integrate cloud-native ground station services with a software-defined mission planning and command API to streamline automation in satellite operations.

Bridging the Gap Between Planning and Operations

One of the notable challenges faced by satellite operators is the gap between mission planning and actual execution. With Infostellar's extensive global ground station network paired with Antaris's advanced platform, the goal is to allow satellite operators to model, simulate, and execute complex mission sequences with unprecedented flexibility and speed.

Key Solutions Offered by the Partnership

1. Integrated Mission Modeling
By reflecting Infostellar’s ground station capabilities on the Antaris Space Platform, the partnership will enable highly accurate mission simulations closely aligned with real operational requirements.

2. Automation of Ground Station Operations
The two companies will work on developing software-defined APIs aimed at achieving dynamic path scheduling, automated orchestration of constellations, and real-time satellite command and control (C2).

3. Enhanced Data Acquisition Efficiency
Focusing on minimizing data acquisition latency and maximizing throughput, technical collaborations will aim to provide crucial mission data with greater speed and reliability.

4. Scalable Solutions
Joint marketing and sales efforts will target satellite operators who require flexible, software-defined ground segments that can scale according to the size of their constellations.

Statements from Leadership

Naomi Kurahara, CEO of Infostellar, remarked, "This MOA represents a critical step in connecting mission planning with actual ground station operations. Through our collaboration with Antaris's mission operations software, we aim to create an environment that allows satellite operators to transition more seamlessly from simulation to execution."

Tom Barton, co-founder and CEO of Antaris, added, "Satellite operators need an environment where they can transition seamlessly from planning to execution without integrating fragmented systems. By partnering with Infostellar, we will enhance the Antaris Space Platform, expanding cloud-native ground station capabilities. This will provide operators with more advanced automation, responsiveness, and scalability across mission planning, orchestration, and overall operations."
