Together with Certified Partners, Kubos has created a network that offers a seamless transition through all stages of a satellite's lifecycle.
Kubos has developed Gateways for the Major Tom Command and Control (C2) product; universal interfaces for integration to allow customers to operate their spacecraft from any ground station. Gateways handle the machine-to-machine interface to each unique ground network. i.e. the ground network can be controlled seamlessly from within the Major Tom UI via the Gateway. Kubos and Partners have handled all aspects of ground station C2 software integration so that the customer can focus on their mission.
GPP Certified Partners, who have different interfaces, protocols, and processes, benefit from exposure to the full spectrum of missions using Major Tom for their day-to-day operations.
Ground Station Hardware, Ground Station Network, and Simulation infrastructure providers that wish to expose their products and services to the ecosystem of modern, cloud-based satellite operations led by Major Tom.
Kubos has developed a Gateway Certification Test (GCT) that certifies the quality, security, and performance of a Partner’s Gateway. The GCT assesses that a Gateway:
Partner certification also includes alignment with Kubos on best-practice coding standards and a DevOps operations philosophy.
Companies across the spectrum - from small antennas for CubeSat LEO missions, to Tier 1 to Prime providers of GEO and interplanetary services. GPP Partners offer a variety of signal bands and follow rigorous security protocols to safeguard against intrusion as well as to certify for regulatory bodies. GPP offers both US-only (as needed by US export-controlled customers) and international options for mission operators.
Our Kubos Gateway was easy to develop in python and simple to integrate into Major Tom thanks to the sample Gateways provided by Kubos’ highly responsive team. ATLAS customers now have a simple, clean UI to connect to the ATLAS Freedom API, which enables them to hit the ground running on day one!

Partners agree to:
GPP is core to Kubos’ mission to accelerate humanity’s deployment of space technology. By working to bring about standardization with its partners, Kubos is positioned as a one-stop shop for customers who require infrastructure on the ground to connect with any orbit. Together with certified Partners, Kubos will leverage GPP to rapidly and reliably deploy a wide range of mission configurations and capabilities for customers.
