About Cascade Space
Summary
Cascade Space builds ground station infrastructure and software for lunar and deep space missions, serving commercial spacecraft operators who are locked out of the oversubscribed Deep Space Network. Its array-based architecture uses clusters of smaller dishes to deliver scalable, redundant communications capacity that a single large dish cannot match. The integrated platform cuts spacecraft iteration cycles from weeks to hours, replacing fragmented and manual ground operations.
Business model
Communications access sold as a service, with aperture size priced dynamically based on mission needs.
Go-to-market
Commercial space mission operators are the primary buyers; missions design and operate their spacecraft communications through Cascade Space's self-serve Array Designer and Operate software tools.
From the Y Combinator listing
Deep space communications as a service
Cascade Space is building a turn-key communications system for lunar and deep space missions. Our ground station network and integrated software tools work together to maximize uptime and availability, while reducing spacecraft iteration cycles from weeks to hours.
