ION Hosted Payload Service, Space Cloud Services, and Satellite as a Service (SaaS).
ION Hosted Payload Service enables space hardware developers to quickly get payloads to orbit for testing or operations. Space Cloud Services turn orbital infrastructure into a flexible cloud environment for in-orbit data processing using Linux, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
Satellite as a Service provides complete mission management without operators needing to develop their own space assets. The service includes institutional heritage with ESA/ASI IRIDE program (EUR 26M) for NOX SAR satellite.
