TSUKUBA CITY, IBARAKI, JAPAN, June 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WARPSPACE, which aims to realize optical communication services in space using small satellites, has partnered with Leaf Space, a leading provider of ground segment as-a-service (GSaaS) solutions, to provide ground station support to enable faster, more reliable data reception to support WARPSPACE's optical communication network.

Satoru Tsunemachi, CEO of WARPSPACE, says, “In the WarpHub InterSat network, ground stations play a critical role in ensuring the stable delivery of data to end-users. Our goal is to deliver more space-based observation data to the ground to contribute to disaster management and support primary industries.”

“WarpHub InterSat” is a network service using optical communications in space that WARPSPACE currently develops and will operate three relay satellites in MEO. Earth observation satellites will transmit data to these relay satellites using optical communications, and WarpHub InterSat relay satellites will send the data to the ground.

To unload data to the ground on time, the satellite must be in contact with the ground station when it receives a request for data transmission. Leaf Space’s growing global network of ground stations, which serves multiple orbits, will support this critical component of the mission.

“We are thrilled to be working with WARPSPACE on this partnership and look forward to supporting their missions utilizing our industry-leading ground segment-as-a-service solutions” said Paolo Musetti, Chief Commercial Officer at Leaf Space. “We are looking forward to supporting the WARPSPACE team on such a challenging and innovative project.”

“We believe that we have a partner who can walk with us through this process and share our vision, and we are very happy to be able to take on the challenges of this new era together.” Satoru says.
