About
ATLAS Space Operations, founded in 2015 in Traverse City, Michigan, delivers satellite communication services through a worldwide network of ground stations. The company’s federated antenna network spans dozens of sites across over 20 countries, enabling satellite operators to downlink data securely and on-demand as a service. ATLAS offers a cloud-based software platform called Freedom™ that automates scheduling and management of these ground assets, streamlining satellite operations compared to legacy systems. Backed by support from Michigan’s economic development programs, ATLAS has grown steadily and in 2025 agreed to be acquired by York Space Systems, a move aimed at integrating its ground infrastructure with satellite manufacturing and operations.
