Every image and every byte a satellite generates has to reach the ground somewhere, and KSAT is the neutral utility that does it for much of the industry; it is now integrating Amazon Web Services' Ground Station service into its own offering. It is a communications utility, with no AI product of its own.
Satellite operators, space agencies and defense customers pay KSAT per-pass or by contract for ground station access and data downlink.

Most of these companies have no AI business today; they are on this map because of what they carry, connect or build for the companies that do. Open the space lens.
