Ground Segment IT for Small Satellite Teams
Valley Orbital helps small satellite operators set up and maintain the software infrastructure behind their ground stations — so your team can stay focused on the mission.
Work With UsWe bring IT expertise to the ground segment — the part most aerospace teams don't want to deal with.
Installation and configuration of GPredict, SatNOGS, and GNU Radio for small sat engineering teams. We do the setup right so you don't have to.
AWS and GCP architecture for telemetry storage, processing, and access. Purpose-built for satellite operators managing real mission data.
Ground stations run on Linux. We handle setup, maintenance, and hardening — because most aerospace engineers aren't sysadmins.
VPN configuration, monitoring, and alerting for distributed or remote satellite operations teams. Secure, reliable, and maintainable.
Python scripts and automation for satellite pass processing, scheduling, logging, and alerting. Turn raw pass data into actionable information.
Valley Orbital LLC was founded to solve a gap that keeps showing up in the small satellite industry: engineering teams with deep hardware expertise that need IT infrastructure built and maintained — but don't have time to become sysadmins.
We're based in San Joaquin County, CA and work remotely with satellite operators across the country. Our background is in IT infrastructure, Linux systems, cloud architecture, and automation — applied directly to the ground segment.
If your team is tracking passes, handling telemetry, or managing remote stations, we can help.
