ATLAS Space Operations has been named to the Military Times Best for Vets list, an annual publication of the country’s top veteran-friendly employers. ATLAS ranked #5 among small and medium sized businesses, and #7 in the state of Michigan.
ATLAS is proud to share that team members Dan Carey, Director of Marketing, and Sam Lewis, Senior Software Development Engineer, are among this year’s awardees. This represents the third such win for ATLAS in as many years, after Software Development Engineer Ryan Clulo received the same honor in 2019.
The World Teleport Association (WTA) today named Sean McDaniel, CEO, ATLAS Space Operations as the 2021 Teleport Executive of the Year. Mr. McDaniel will accept the award at the 2021 Teleport Awards Celebration on September 8 during the SATELLITE 2021 conference in Washington, DC.
ATLAS Space Operations is proud to support the ATLAS Space Explorers Post 2025. The Exploring program is an affiliate of the Boy Scouts of America. Post 2025 is composed of young adults who are interested in STEM experiences and want to learn about possible space-related career opportunities. Post 2025 is different from other STEM activities because the program is designed to mirror the organizational structure and cultural environment of a tech startup.
For eight years during the Cold War, the United States kept a fleet of bombers high above the Arctic around the clock. The Arctic was of great strategic importance at the time for its proximity to the then-Soviet Union. With this in mind, the US flew bombers in patterns over vast swaths of ice to provide the greatest possible degree of readiness.
With the addition of five new ground stations to its growing global ground network, ATLAS Space Operations continues to find ways to achieve its chief mission: connecting humanity through space. The new antennas in New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, Alaska, and an upcoming commissioning in Dubai, UAE represent a dramatic increase in ATLAS’ global footprint and network capacity. The move is expected to bolster global antenna coverage and establish new communications opportunities for the burgeoning satellite market.
With the recent launch of a Soyuz-2.1a rocket from Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome, ATLAS Space Operations has grown to support three brand new missions with its Freedom™ Platform. Amid the multinational launch, ATLAS will support Astroscale, LinaSpace, and Axelspace in some of the most impressive space-based missions happening today.
Today, Quintillion Networks and ATLAS Space Operations completed construction of the highest-latitude satellite ground station on US soil. This accomplishment is a significant step forward in the quest to close a critical gap in US security capabilities and provide ground station operations and downlink facilities for polar orbiting satellites. The ground station is now live and ready to serve existing and future commercial and government entities.
Orbit Communication Systems Inc., a leading provider of Earth Observation and New Space Ground Antenna Systems, announced today delivery of two additional Gaia-100 3.7M S/X band systems as key enablers to support ATLAS’ Global Network expansion and performance. The Gaia-100 empowers utilization of ATLAS’ Freedom™ Software Platform.
ATLAS Space Operations announced today a series of achievements regarding their revolutionary multi-band, multi-mission (MBMM) phased array antenna system. ATLAS’ prototype antenna is a scalable RF satellite communications system that requires only 10% of the space that comparable hardware solutions require. ATLAS was awarded a contract through the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) and in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for the development of a multi-band, multi-mission antenna system.
