Revenue model

1. Mission Operations Services (RSOC): Follow-the-sun mission control services provided through Responsive Space Operations Centers in Australia and Colorado. Includes spaceflight operations, traffic support, satellite communications marketplace, and full space environment management from launch to End-of-Life.
2. Space Operations Software Products: Sale and licensing of proprietary software including Space Cockpit (space battle management), PIGI (mission control interface), and MDAT (mission design toolkit). Software can be deployed in cloud or on-premises configurations.
3. Professional Services (Mission Design, Pre-flight, Diagnostics): Engineering services covering spacecraft design, pre-flight integration, and machine learning diagnostics. Services span from initial concept through operational support.
4. Defense Contracts: Government contracts for automation and space operations software, such as the $1.25M Windu contract with US Space Force to automate satellite operations.

Core offering

Saber Astronautics provides space operations software and follow-the-sun mission control services through its Responsive Space Operations Centers (RSOC) in the USA and Australia. Its portfolio includes Space Cockpit (3D space domain awareness), P.I.G.I. (web-based 3D mission control), MDAT (mission design and analysis toolkit), and a SATCOM marketplace with approximately 250 ground station dishes, supporting satellite operators, defense agencies, and research customers from mission design through end-of-life operations.

Product overview

Saber Astronautics offers a unified platform-plus-services architecture centered on space operations software. The core portfolio includes Space Cockpit (3D space domain awareness for tactical edge operators), P.I.G.I. (web-based 3D mission control), and MDAT (mission design and analysis toolkit), all supported by the Responsive Space Operations Center (RSOC) - a global follow-the-sun mission control network with centers in Australia and the USA. The company also provides mission lifecycle services spanning Mission Design, Pre-flight integration, Diagnostics (ML-based), and full Operations support. Products are designed to work independently or as an integrated suite, with P.I.G.I. and Space Cockpit offering complementary mission control capabilities at different security levels.

Products and services

• Responsive Space Operations Center (RSOC) Follow-the-sun mission control service operated from RSOC centers in Adelaide (Australia) and Colorado Springs/Boulder (USA). Provides integrated space traffic management, satellite command and data handling, and space environment management from launch to End-of-Life for satellite operators and defense agencies globally.
• Space Cockpit A 3D space domain awareness tool designed for warfighters at the tactical edge, deployable to Top-Secret and Secret classification levels via Platform One with current Certificate to Field. Provides operators with the context and information needed to make rapid tactical decisions and hosts the first and only marketplace for third-party applications selling to US DoD.
• P.I.G.I. (Predictive Interactive Ground-station Interface) Web-based, 3D mission control software that unifies TT&C (Telemetry, Tracking & Command), ground station scheduling, diagnostics, space weather, and space traffic awareness. Supports real-time telemetry, commanding, maneuver planning, and conjunction management from single satellites to constellations. Available as cloud or on-premises deployment.
• Mission Design and Analysis Toolkit (MDAT) Mission planning toolkit featuring Mission Forge for spacecraft design, automatic report generation, web-based Mission Design API for accessing individual calculators, and intuitive dashboards for design optimization. Visualizes constellations and sensors in 3D. Built on AWS and accessible via major browsers.
• Mission Design Services Engineering services covering spacecraft and mission design including technical factors (hardware requirements, constellations), business factors (revenues, returns, risks), concurrent design, spectrum allocation, research proposals, and investment due diligence.
• Pre-flight Services Integration services connecting spacecraft to the RSOC via modern cyber-secure cloud-based infrastructure. Works with flight software and spacecraft manufacturing teams on command, data handling, mission states, and command-loop testing before flight.
• Diagnostics Services Machine learning-driven satellite diagnostics profiling spacecraft using bus and payload telemetry. Compact ML models can run on real-time systems either on-orbit or in the RSOC, providing rapid detection of damage to satellite systems, signals, and performance as a platinum operations service.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.

• US Space ForceflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 20 January 2025Saber Astronautics secured a $1.25M contract from US Space Force to develop Windu, an automation system for space operations. The project automates tasks for space traffic management and protect/defend missions. Windu will be hosted on Space Cockpit and is designed to greatly increase the output of individual human operators by automating evidence gathering for important orbital events.
• InfostellarcoreTechnology or Integration · 9 December 2024Infostellar joined Saber Astronautics' SATCOM marketplace as the newest member, adding their global network of satellite ground stations. The partnership includes S-Band, X-band, and Ka-band RF services, real-time TT&C, and satellite downlinks for remote sensing and space science applications. Infostellar's StellarStation platform complements Saber's satellite operations. This expands the RSOC's ~250 dish network for defense, commercial, and research sector clients.
• AWS (Amazon Web Services)coreTechnology or IntegrationMDAT is built on AWS infrastructure. Saber Astronautics holds AWS Partner Network status including AWS Qualified Software and AWS Public Sector Partner designations.
• Platform One (US DoD)coreTechnology or IntegrationSpace Cockpit is deployed using Platform One, utilizing the latest DevSecOps initiatives. Space Cockpit has a current Certificate to Field (CtF) and is deployable to Top-Secret and Secret classification levels.
