SSC Go
Easy and cost-effective access to your spacecraft
We are expanding our ground station capabilities with a new service designed to support today’s more agile space missions – characterized by smaller satellites, faster development cycles, and evolving operational needs.
SSC Go is optimized for the growing number of commercial space ventures, and evolving space technologies. It lowers the barriers for space operators by providing reliable access to a global ground network from a single provider.
Seamless and cost-effective access to satellite data
SSC Go is our latest innovation designed to meet the fast-paced demands of the commercial space market. Built on a global ground station network of compact 4m-class antennas on S-, X- and Ka-band, SSC Go delivers seamless and cost-effective access to satellite data for spacecraft in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Whether you’re launching your first satellite or scaling a constellation, SSC Go offers streamlined, scalable, and effective solutions—without compromising on quality.
Thirteen antennas at five locations will assure connectivity: Esrange Space Center/Kiruna, Alaska, Inuvik/Canada, Australia, Chile. The network will be continuously expanded to align with market growth.
What makes SSC Go different?
- Fast onboarding
One-time setup across the entire network using a standardized template. Get started quickly with minimal friction. - Simple scheduling
Easily reserve time slots - Built-in security, ensuring a robust and trusted approach that meets the standards required by security-sensitive missions.
- Dual polarization support
Dual X-band and Ka-band channels with simultaneous polarization downlinks (LHCP & RHCP) to double your data rate. - High latitude coverage
With antennas at Esrange, North Pole, Inuvik, Western Australia, and Punta Arenas—and more coming—SSC Space Go ensures around-the-clock global coverage.
Why you should choose SSC Go
- Smart and effective
Designed for single spacecrafts and large constellations with low service costs. - Speed & simplicity
From onboarding to operations, everything is optimized for quick engagement and efficient integration. - Future-ready
Built on vast experience of the SSC ground station services and taking advantages from cloud technologies for TT&C and Payload distributions, with a roadmap shaped by market needs and evolving technology.

Questions and Answers
SSC Go is SSC’s new product family designed to serve the growing market for small to nano satellites. It provides an easy-to-use, automated, and cost-efficient ground station service through a global network of smaller antennas dedicated to agile space missions.
SSC Go will initially operate at five global locations within SSC’s ground station network. The network will expand with additional capacity, new capabilities, and more locations based on market demand and customer growth.
Each SSC Go site uses 4-meter-class antennas supporting:
- S-band uplink and downlink
- X-band and Ka-band downlink
All antennas provide dual polarization and high performance in terms of gain and sensitivity (G/T).
SSC Go lowers the barrier for space operators by providing:
- Simple onboarding and integration
- Reliable and secure access to SSC’s global ground network
- Flexible service models per mission category
- Cost efficiency and scalability through automation
Telemetry and payload data are:
- Digitally recorded and temporarily stored
- Delivered to customers via a secure regional cloud interface
- Accessible through a designated data “drop-off zone” (e.g., S3 bucket)
This enables fast and secure access to downlinked data after each pass.
SSC Go supports SSC’s strategy to expand and modernize its ground network while providing scalable, automated, and secure services for the fast-growing smallsat market. It complements SSC’s existing capabilities and accelerates the company’s digital transformation across its global ground segment operations.
