Abstract: Satellites may be integrated into a provider network for cloud-based services by utilizing a satellite-deployable computing device to execute one or more cloud services that are accessible by client devices of the provider network via respective associated Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). In some embodiments, the satellite-deployable computing device may process payload data of the satellite in accordance with one or more cloud-based services indicated in control instructions originating from a client device of the provider network. In some embodiments, the processed data may be transmitted to a ground station in accordance with one or more cloud-based services.

Abstract: A matchmaking service can match a satellite owner/operator with antennas that are available and capable of servicing a communication request from the satellite owner/operator (e.g., to exchange data with the satellite owner/operator's satellite). The communication request may be received at a ground station service, and information included therein may be compared to capabilities of antennas registered with the ground station service to determine antennas that are compatible with the request. The ground station service may reserve a time slot for a selected compatible antenna to service the request and control the selected compatible antenna (e.g., to track and communicate with the satellite) during the time slot. In some embodiments, the matchmaking of satellite owners/operators to antennas uses models to determine communication parameters for a communication request and to determine capabilities of antennas registered with the ground station.
