Oneliner	Antaris is the leading software platform provider for space. We dramatically simplify the design, simulation and operation of satellites to reduce costs and speed time-to-orbit.
Description	Antaris enabled the rapid, cost-effective production of JANUS-1 through an agile, building-block approach unique to the company’s software platform: The Antaris cloud-based web interface makes it easy to design and configure a production satellite from a catalog of components, subsystems and reference designs. The platform features built in API integrations with various providers including ground station operators. TrueTwin™ high fidelity simulation technology enables designers to mirror and test the satellite configuration by running identical code in virtual and physical environments with API-driven access and optional hardware-in-the-loop support. SatOS™ complete software stack manages core bus responsibilities while orchestrating multitenant payloads and onboard computing with support for real-time operating systems, Linux, artificial intelligence (AI/ML) workflows and third party applications. Well documented APIs and an open source SDK enables payload partners to quickly integrate their payloads into the platform.
Notes	Why satellites should be more like commodity servers - Tom Barton, CEO of Antaris. Additional tech demonstration satellites from Antaris and manufacturing partners Ananth Technologies and XDLINX Labs are planned for 2023, including 6U, 12U and 27U satellite reference architectures. Netra is a provider of IoT solutions working to enhance operational productivity and sustainability for key industries throughout Indonesia including mining, forestry, agriculture, construction, oil & gas, and maritime logistics. The challenge, however, is that tracking equipment and supply chain components using traditional cellular signals is not always reliable, especially in mountainous geographic regions like Indonesia. Access the full case study to learn how Netra worked with Antaris to take its mission-critical business into orbit. The first Astranis-built satellite won’t be able to provide commercial broadband over Alaska for local telco Pacific Dataport because it can’t keep solar arrays pointed at the sun. Despite the failure of both solar array drive assemblies on Arcturus, used to position solar panels that power the satellite, Astranis estimates it can get six to 12 hours a day of service from the spacecraft., SpaceNews, 2023-07-21. A SpaceX Falcon 9 is due to launch four Block 2 satellites in the first quarter of 2024, delayed from this year following the failure Astranis announced in July of its Arcturus debut spacecraft, SpaceNews, 2023-12-08.
