The complexity of spacecraft operations has sky-rocketed with increased orbital activity and new satellite capabilities, like the ability to reconfigure capacity, power, and coverage on demand. Despite these advances, satellite communications (satcom) operators still find it challenging to scale and adapt to this new complexity on the ground. Limited software solutions and the lack of interoperability between hardware [...]
