Miratlas releases its commercial brochure: a structured offer for every player in optical communications
Optical satellite communications demand a precise understanding of the atmosphere. Miratlas has built a complete offer to address that need — from measurement systems to decision-support tools.
Data that simply did not exist on the commercial market
Optical links between satellites and ground stations face one fundamental constraint: the atmosphere. Turbulence, aerosols, cloud cover — these parameters determine the quality and availability of every link. Yet until recently, no qualified commercial data existed to characterize them accurately, site by site.
Miratlas changed that. Through a network of measurement systems deployed across multiple continents — in Europe, India, Japan, and China — Miratlas continuously aggregates ultra-local, high-resolution atmospheric data. A level of granularity that simply did not exist before, and that places Miratlas in a unique position on the market.
Data built for strategic decision-making
The value of this data goes well beyond technical precision. Accessible through intuitive solutions and directly exploitable from dedicated dashboards, it serves as a genuine strategic decision-support tool for optical communication operators.
Three use cases concentrate most of the value:
OGS site selection. Identifying the optimal location for an optical ground station requires a deep understanding of local atmospheric conditions over time. Miratlas data allows operators to compare candidate sites based on real measurements — not generic statistical models.
Satellite-to-ground link optimization. The quality of an optical link varies with instantaneous atmospheric conditions. Access to ultra-local, high-resolution data makes it possible to anticipate degradations and adapt transmission parameters accordingly.
Communication window planning. For LEO constellation operators, managing handovers between ground stations is a major operational challenge. Miratlas data helps identify the best communication windows and minimize link interruptions.
An offer built for the diversity of market needs
Players in optical communications don’t all face the same constraints or operate with the same resources. Some need to deploy their own measurement capabilities. Others want fast, straightforward access to data. Others need to integrate it directly into their existing systems.
That is why Miratlas has structured its offer around three complementary components:
Deployable atmospheric measurement systems — for operators who want their own atmospheric characterization infrastructure at their sites of interest.
Pathfinder — a data access solution designed for rapid onboarding, with no hardware deployment required. Ideal for feasibility studies, site comparison, or integration into an ongoing project.
DataHUB — Miratlas’s continuous data access platform, built for operational integration into mission planning systems and operator dashboards.
Credibility built alongside the sector’s leading institutions
The Miratlas offer is the result of years of development and field deployment, carried out in close collaboration with the most demanding institutions and industry players in the space sector: ESA, CNES, DLR, ONERA, Airbus, and Fraunhofer.
This network of institutional partnerships reflects a commitment to quality that runs through the entire offer — from measurement systems to data services.
Our commercial brochure presents the full offer in detail. It is designed for every player working in satellite optical communications: constellation operators, ground system integrators, space agencies, and industrial partners.
