The unique constraints facing academic and research space programs.
Budget Constraints
Research budgets are limited. Building custom ground systems and hiring full-time operations staff isn't feasible for most programs.
FlightDesk provides full mission control capabilities at a fraction of the cost of custom development.
Team Turnover
Student teams graduate and rotate. Institutional knowledge about spacecraft operations walks out the door every semester.
Our platform retains operational knowledge independent of team members. Operations continuity built in.
Technical Expertise Gaps
Research teams are experts in their science. They shouldn't need to become spacecraft operations experts too.
Full operations support available when needed. Focus on your research, we'll handle the spacecraft.
Infrastructure Access
University IT departments aren't equipped for spacecraft operations infrastructure requirements.
Cloud-hosted mission control and computing infrastructure. No on-campus infrastructure required.
