RBC Signals Ties Up With Momentus For Global Ground Services SATCOM

August 25, 2020 by editorial

RBC Signals has been engaged by Momentus for satellite communication (SATCOM) services — this agreement calls for Momentus to use assets within the RBC Signals global ground station network for SATCOM services in support of a series of upcoming Momentus missions that are scheduled to start in 2021.

Momentus is a Space Transportation and Space Logistics company employing new and proprietary technologies, including water plasma propulsion, to enable “revolutionary” low-cost orbital shuttle and charter services. The core of Momentus’ business is Vigoride, a transfer vehicle delivering smallsats to custom orbits in LEO.

The 2021 missions that RBC Signals will support are important for multiple companies and researchers whose satellites will be delivered to orbit on larger rockets via ridesharing. RBC Signals’ support and technology will help power Momentus’ value proposition of transporting these smallsats to a final intended orbit in an extremely cost-efficient manner.

Momentus will be able to schedule access to RBC Signals’ network ground stations seamlessly through ROSS, which is RBC Signals’ intuitive API-based interface for scheduling antenna time.
