Empowering Global Access to Space
Atlas modernizes satellite communications by offering a system that is both more advanced and cheaper than competitors’ offerings. Atlas’ advanced technologies allow for satellite owners and operators to:
- Communicate with multiple satellites simultaneously during a single session.
- Seamlessly transfer and process data that reduces latency from up to twelve minutes to eight seconds.
In addition, the company’s satellite systems are approximately 1/10 the cost of competing options. The result is an easy-to-use satellite communication system that eliminates headaches for owners and operators.
Atlas ranked #102 in Inc. Magazine’s 2020 list of 5000 fastest-growing companies in America. A big jump up the list from #2413 the previous year plus a growth rate of 3446%.
Quick Facts for Investors
Why We Invested
While satellites and rockets get a lot of attention, ground communication is essential. There are a number of reasons why we had the confidence to invest in Atlas Space Operations. Primarily, Casey Cowell, who is a member of our VCapital Advisory Board, serves as the Executive Chairman. Casey was the co-founder and former CEO of U.S. Robotics which was acquired by 3Com Corporation. Many of Atlas employees are former military and Northrop Grumman employees and the company has a number of U.S. government contracts plus a pipeline of significant size. Atlas is the only U.S. company that is engaged in updating legacy hardware and software for the space industry.
