A Leader in
Atmospheric Science
Core Capabilities
ASTRA’s leadership in atmospheric science and space weather dynamics comes from our experience in developing the tools, models and data used to calculate and predict the impacts that a dynamic atmosphere has on the systems we rely on each day. As scientists and engineers, we understand what it takes to collect quality data and how it is used. We use that understanding to provide innovative solutions in the form of small satellites, miniaturized instruments, models, and data products.
ASTRA’s foundation in ionospheric physics enables us to develop miniaturized space-science systems and instrumentation that support space and terrestrial weather data services for our DoD, NASA, federal agency, university and industry customers, including:
• Mission and system design of small-satellite and CubeSat platforms
• Simulating operational scenarios (e.g., evaluating effects of sensor coverage)
• Modeling small satellite subsystems and ground-segment interactions
• Simulating functionality of attitude operations and CubeSat pointing requirements
• Remote sensing design and analysis services
