Mission Operations and Ground Tracking


Equatorial Tracking

Track your mission with Astralintu. Operate your Satellites and Payloads from anywhere in the world through our Mission Operations Platform powered by Aurora from D-Orbit. Access our equatorial Ground Station located in Quito, Ecuador as well as other partner ground stations across Latin America and the Globe. We support VHF, UHF and S-Band downloads and our GNU SDR can be adapted to your mission communications protocol!

If you have your own ground station we can work together to include it in our network to be used with our mission operations platform by users around the globe

Hosting Service

We provide well-located land, without visual interference to ensure we take advantage of each minute in each pass. The customer can install its antennas and equipment enjoying our support along all processes.

Our service includes security, electrical energy (with the backup system), broadband internet, civil works services, data center area for hosted equipment, permanent maintenance of the complex, and technical support (on-demand). We adapt to the specifications for each case, from an only antenna, an Earth Station, Teleport, to a Gateway, we are ready to turn your project into a success

Future Infrastructure

We are working on adding new antennas and improving our infrastructure to serve missions in all Earth orbits, Cislunar, Moon Surface, and Deep Space while developing the capacities to manage different operations such as LEOP, TT&C, and data transmission in general. Our first big goal for the middle of 2024 is to reach capacities for Uplink in L-band, Downlink/Uplink in S-band, X-band, and Ka-band.

By 2024 we will be able to support new antenna systems and better infrastructure, and real-time monitoring, including detection and reporting of anomalies in failed passes.

About Aurora

Aurora is a powerful cloud-based mission control software suite designed to control a single satellite or a complete constellation through a user-friendly, fully customizable control interface. 

Always up to date

Aurora’s cloud architecture enables operators to significantly reduce mission costs by eliminating all the expenses connected to software design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

Custom User Interface

The user interface can be customized to the needs and preferences of individual mission operators

Flexible IT infrastructure

A web interface enables the use of cheap, commodity hardware to create the desired IT infrastructure. Operators can control satellites from any location through a variety of computer platforms, including mobile

Maximum Flexibility

Aurora’s software architecture is modular, and it can be tailored to support the most common CubeSat mission architectures

On-Demand Global Coverage

A worldwide network of ground stations, in partnership with LeafSpace and Amazon AWS Ground Station, ensures a global coverage that can be tailored to the needs and the budget of any space mission.

State-of-the-art security

The software is installed in a private cloud instance with AES256 encryption 2FA token user authentication, to ensure state-of-the-art cyber security protection. Deployment on a private local server is also possible.
