Overview

5…4…3…2…1… The final seconds before a launch are filled with anticipation and hope. The excitement is palpable. The future lies ahead.

These early moments in a mission might be the most thrilling, but every second that follows is arguably just as critical. At Universal Space Network (USN), we’ve made it our business to live in the details of those seconds.

Our commitment to quality service begins long before the countdown. From the moment we are called on to prepare for launch, our multidisciplinary teams build partnerships with the customer to ensure that the critical communications services will be there when needed. Each mission is planned with care and creativity, reflecting both the breadth and depth of our experience and our core principles of providing quality and reliability.

Success in space often hinges on ground control and communications. We’ve built a worldwide network of tracking stations and network control centers to provide cost-effective operations and telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C) services. USN also provides spacecraft management services; ground network design, implementation and operations; and satellite service engineering support.

USN is led by a handpicked team of the aerospace industry’s top minds. Our staff and management bring a level of excitement, intensity and professionalism to every project. And because of our unique structure, we are able to move fast, cut costs and still provide best-in-class, mission-critical services and solutions.
