The space sector is undergoing a profound transformation, with a surge in the number of satellites and an exponential increase in downlink volumes. This escalation renders the ground segment—encompassing antennas, Telemetry, Tracking, and Command (TT&C) stations—more complex, costly, and frequently shared among multiple stakeholders. Each communication window has become a strategic asset, as even a minor disruption—be it a solar eruption, intentional jamming, or a technical anomaly—can result in substantial financial losses and undermine the reliability of critical services (telecommunications, navigation, Earth observation). Pulsar addresses this challenge by offering an intelligent SaaS platform seamlessly integrated with existing mission planning and operations tools. It continuously monitors satellite health and analyzes the space environment (ionospheric conditions, solar activity, RF traffic) to anticipate disruptions. Leveraging AI, operators receive real-time alerts, forecasts, and actionable recommendations to optimize ground station utilization, avoid lost contact opportunities, and protect their in-orbit assets. This approach enhances operational resilience, extends satellite lifespans, and safeguards the space environment, thereby ensuring a more sustainable and secure space domain for future generations.
