Satellite antenna ground station service system

A satellite antenna ground station service, comprising:

• a plurality of data centers located in different geographic areas;
• a plurality of satellite antenna ground stations, wherein respective ones of the satellite antenna ground stations are connected to corresponding ones of the data centers in the different geographic areas;
• and
• one or more computing devices configured to provide a user interface for the satellite antenna ground station service, the user interface configured to:
• receive satellite identification information for a satellite of a customer of the satellite antenna ground station service;
• provide a scheduling interface allowing the customer to schedule a contact with the satellite of the customer, wherein the scheduled contact is to be performed using one or more of the satellite antenna ground stations of the satellite antenna ground station service;
• and
• provide a data processing interface allowing the customer to specify one or more parameters for processing signals received from the satellite of the customer during the scheduled contact,
• wherein the one or more computing devices are configured to orchestrate the scheduled contact, via the one or more satellite antenna ground stations, using the one or more parameters for processing signals specified by the customer.

One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media storing program instructions, that when executed on or across one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• implement a user interface for a satellite antenna ground station service, the user interface configured to:
• receive satellite identification information for a satellite of a customer of the satellite antenna ground station service;
• provide a scheduling interface allowing the customer to schedule a contact with the satellite of the customer, wherein the scheduled contact is to be performed using one or more satellite antenna ground stations of the satellite antenna ground station service;
• and
• provide a data processing interface allowing the customer to specify one or more parameters for processing signals received from the satellite of the customer during the scheduled contact.

A method, comprising:

• providing a user interface for a satellite antenna ground station service of a provider network, wherein the user interface is configured to:
• receive satellite identification information for a satellite of a customer of the satellite antenna ground station service;
• provide a scheduling interface allowing the customer to schedule a contact with the satellite of the customer, wherein the scheduled contact is to be performed using one or more satellite antenna ground stations of the satellite antenna ground station service;
• and
• provide a data processing interface allowing the customer to specify one or more parameters for processing signals received from the satellite of the customer during the scheduled contact;
• scheduling a ground station access time-slot to contact the satellite of the customer identified in the received satellite identification information at a time scheduled via the scheduling interface;
• and
• sending data to, or receiving data from, the satellite of the customer during the contact, wherein signals sent to, or received from, the satellite of the customer are processed in accordance with the one or more parameters specified by the customer via the data processing interface.
