Skynopy infrastructure

Skynopy is building a secured cloud-based infrastructure allowing satellite operators to seamlessly communicate with their satellite by unifying multiple ground stations networks in a single interface.Skynopy ground station network includes antennas from existing Ground-Station-a-Service providers, private networks interfaced to our core infrastructure thanks to Skynopy interface technology andSkynopy own stations. Skynopy core infrastructure is composed of:

• A centralised API to allow users to book, configure and monitor radio contacts

• Interfaces with different types of ground station networks

• Streamers to handle real time packet processing and delivery to customer satellites and their mission control center

• Asynchronous workers to configure ground station infrastructure, instantiate streamers at radio contacts time and perform post contact operations

• A monitoring server to centralize infrastructure and data operational metrics and logs

• Storage buckets to persist satellite telecommands and telemetry data and store mission data
