Connect to Hundreds of Ground Stations
The Major Tom Global Partner Program gives you access to these premier networks around the world to talk to your satellites.
Cost-Effective
Save money by reducing infrastructure and OPEX
If a company uses its own data centers, it must purchase more hardware any time demand grows, and the existing capacity is met. This requires foresight and potentially risky estimations. Cloud platforms reduce this risk because resources can be allocated or deallocated as needed.
- Reduce OPEX and put Operations CAPEX to zero
- No infrastructure to maintain
- No IT team to update
- Scripts and automation reduce OPEX
- Costs are known in the future
Highly Collaborative
Remotely accessible and usable
A cloud-based environment makes collaboration easier, whether it's across the room or across the ocean. With various options for user organization, you can share workloads with other teams and allow customers to monitor their payloads with confidence.
- Cloud-accessible means everyone has what they need to do their jobs
- Role-based access control
- API integration
- Control from anywhere
- Seamless data sharing
Security Matters
Secure and compatible with regulations
Major Tom offers access control specifications to reduce the chance that the actions of bad actors have catastrophic effects on satellite systems. Measures like required authentication and role-based access control help mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and malicious actions.
- 2FA
- ITAR compliance
- International regulatory compliance
- NIST, HTTPS and SSO
Ecosystem
Third-Party Integrations
With three ground network partners and more added monthly, plus integrations with an extensive array of software, you can truly optimize your mission from our hub. Major Tom is building API-level integrations with key partners and service providers.
- Ground station networks
- Analytics packages
- Orbital determination
API
APIs are the glue that makes the whole platform work. Major Tom exposes a comprehensive REST API that enables deep integration with your existing ground segment, flight dynamics systems, and mission planning tools. Automate pass scheduling, command sequencing, telemetry retrieval, and file management programmatically. Our API supports webhooks for real-time event notifications and is fully documented with interactive examples.
Infrastructure
Major Tom is built on the most scalable, secure cloud infrastructure available. Deployed across multiple availability zones with automatic failover, the platform delivers 99.9% uptime for mission-critical operations. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with SOC 2 Type II compliance and regular third-party security audits ensuring your mission data remains protected.
