Ground Station as a Service (GSaaS) Market

Building and maintaining a global network of large satellite dishes is incredibly capital intensive. Ground Station as a Service (GSaaS) solves this problem by offering satellite operators a “pay per minute” model for communicating with their spacecraft. Instead of owning a dish in the middle of nowhere, you just rent time on someone else’s network via the cloud. This is a massive enabler for small satellite startups who cannot afford to build their own global ground infrastructure. The trend is toward software defined radios that can talk to multiple different satellite protocols simultaneously.

What Numbro covers:

Global coverage mapping of GSaaS providers (AWS Ground Station, Azure Orbital, KSAT, Leaf Space) and their antenna locations. Technology trend analysis of electronically steered phased array antennas versus traditional parabolic dishes. Latency and throughput analysis for Earth Observation data downlink vs. real time TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command). Opportunities for Indian data centre operators to host GSaaS infrastructure and provide edge compute for satellite data.
