Description

Mission-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a unique and highly integrated microsatellite product and service offering geared to help customers develop, launch and operate satellite missions faster and easier than ever before. In developing MaaS, Astro Digital has taken a holistic approach to mission design and execution that leverages a pre-existing platform of technology, infrastructure, partners and regulatory licenses. Given the platform is in place and proven, the time to spool up a new satellite mission is drastically reduced over traditional approaches. In short, MaaS lets Astro Digital bring you from concept to constellation faster and easier than ever before. Astro Digital’s Advanced Ka-band Transmitter (AKAT) is a compact cubesat compatible high data rate transmitter. The AKAT is meant to provide unparalleled payload data downlink capability to ensure platforms on orbit today do not suffer a bottleneck in getting their collected down to earth.
