ATLAS Space Operations Demonstrates Transformative Capabilities for Air Force Research Lab through the Defense Innovation Unit's Hybrid Space Architecture for Department of Defense
"By unifying disparate ground networks through a secure, cloud-native interface, we've demonstrated how Freedom transforms satellite operations into a scalable, software-defined service," said Brad Bode, CTO & Co-Founder, ATLAS Space Operations.
Through the DIU Hybrid Space Architecture project, ATLAS demonstrated the Freedom platform's capability to manage and orchestrate multiple disparate networks, ensuring timely data transmission while maintaining information assurance and security. The software's architecture, built on best-in-class commercial practices, features software-defined controls, interfaces, and security, ensuring flexibility and trust amidst rapid technological changes.
Key objectives achieved during the project include integrating commercial networks, such as the ATLAS global network and Viasat's Real-Time Earth, onboarding DoD assets, and enabling rapid access for federal users, including the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC). The Freedom UI provided an intuitive, web-based interface for operators to manage satellite contacts across these diverse networks, while advanced cyber controls, aligned with DFARS/NIST 800-171 standards, secured data and communications.
"By unifying disparate ground networks through a secure, cloud-native interface, we've demonstrated how Freedom transforms satellite operations into a scalable, software-defined service," said Brad Bode, CTO & Co-Founder, ATLAS Space Operations. "This architecture not only ensures rapid onboarding and cross-network orchestration but also delivers resilient, mission-ready connectivity aligned with the DoD's need for agile and secure space access."
Key outcomes of the demonstrations include:
Operational Interoperability: Seamless integration across DoD and commercial ground station assets, including secure tasking and telemetry.
Cybersecurity Maturity: Meeting DFARS/NIST 800-171 compliance and demonstrating readiness for FedRAMP and ITAR requirements. ATLAS and Freedom Space Technologies also completed a NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 Moderate baseline security assessment.
Federated User Access: Successful onboarding of the U.S. Army SMDC, proving the platform's ability to support diverse agencies securely.
Dynamic Scheduling and Network Abstraction: Enabling task execution across multi-vendor networks through a seamless user experience.
Scalability and Modularity: Demonstrating the platform's ability to scale by adding antennas, users, and partners without system re-architecture.
Enhanced User Experience: Providing an intuitive interface for scheduling, monitoring, and data retrieval.
Readiness for Future Capabilities: Collecting rich data to enable predictive analytics, automated mission validation, and machine learning-driven autonomous operations.

UpToMods Relaunches with a New Focus on Coupons and Smart Shopping Services
NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 7, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Formerly known as a popular MOD APK resource hub, UpToMods has officially completed a major brand transformation and platform overhaul. The site has rebranded into an all-in-one coupon aggregation and intelligent shopping assistant, marking a bold shift toward the global smart consumer services ecosystem. FROM MOD DOWNLOADS TO A SMARTER WAY TO SAVE: UPTOMODS REINVENTS ITS ROLE Over the past few years, UpToMods attracted millions of users with its vast MOD APK library. However, in response to increasing content compliance requirements, evolving user behavior, and the growing demand for efficiency, reliability, and savings, the platform has strategically pivoted to a more sustainable value proposition: empowering consumers to shop smarter and save more. The new UpToMods has discontinued all previous download content and is now dedicated to curating high-quality coupons, real-time discounts, and shopping deals. TRIPLE UPGRADE: BETTER CONTENT, SMARTER TOOLS, AND A FRIENDLIER EXPERIENCE The revamped UpToMods now centers around three key pillars: REDEFINING BRAND CONNECTION: CENTERED ON REAL USER VALUE This transformation represents more than a technical upgrade — it's a complete shift in brand philosophy. UpToMods aims to go beyond being a utility website, becoming an invisible assistant that supports users wherever and whenever savings are needed. As one product lead at UpToMods puts it: 'The most valuable service isn't about getting users to spend more — it's about helping them spend smarter when they want to buy. That's the direction we're committed to building.' LOOKING AHEAD: BUILDING A GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM FOR SMART SAVINGS In the highly competitive global coupon landscape, UpToMods' transformation is a proactive evolution — and a redefinition of value. The platform plans to expand its merchant partnerships, enhance its content strategy, and roll out multi-platform products, including mobile apps and browser extensions.
