Microsoft announced some Azure Space advances on Wednesday, including an Azure Orbital Ground Station service commercial release.

Microsoft is advancing its Azure Space efforts by starting to add Azure Orbital 'ground station as a service' units to its datacenters, according to a Tuesday announcement.

We look forward to the continued collaboration with AMERGINT.” Azure Orbital is a managed service that offers end-to-end satellite ground services through the Azure public cloud platform.

Muon Space selected Microsoft to support its first-ever launch in June 2023, leveraging Azure Orbital Ground Station as the sole ground station provider for their MuSat-1 mission.
