AWS Ground Station
Managed contact scheduling, satellite data delivery into AWS and digital IF options. The features page describes S-band uplink/downlink and X-band downlink for LEO and MEO satellites.
Access: Satellite onboarding and licensing precede scheduled contacts. Console and API scheduling; published on-demand and reserved models.
Confirm: Exact frequency, waveform, link budget, location visibility, onboarding timeline, data egress costs and reserved-contact commitments.
Price, current availability and mission suitability: Unknown.
Multi-mission ground-segment service for TT&C and payload downlink through a single API.
Access: Leaf Portal supports automated scheduling, on-demand booking and priority access. The company describes an all-inclusive per-minute model without publishing a mission quote here.
Confirm: Exact station and band support, coverage simulation, waveform compatibility, priority terms, licensing and delivery latency.
Price, current availability and mission suitability: Unknown.
A ground station network is not interchangeable with an antenna rental. Start with orbital visibility and the radio link, then resolve service commitments, data delivery and licensing. A provider’s band list does not prove compatibility with your waveform. Ask for a mission-specific coverage simulation and a written commercial scope before choosing.
Keep sensitive mission details out of a first enquiry until confidentiality and information-handling arrangements are agreed. This worksheet stays in this browser tab and resets on reload.

Privacy and measurement
Optional usage measurement is off until you allow it for this page visit. The production site uses its own reviewed Google Analytics property. On the exact production site, optional Google Analytics can count allowlisted actions only after you allow it for this page visit. No filenames, photos, image dimensions, worksheet text or provider selections are included. Google may process technical identifiers and connection information. DNT and Global Privacy Control keep measurement off. No consent choice is stored. Turning measurement off removes its iframe and this site’s measurement cookies. Downloads indicate initiation, not confirmed delivery, a lead or customer demand. Withdrawal stops future optional action counts; it does not delete data already received by Google.
