Blue Origin selects RBC Signals for global ground station deployment

RBC Signals has announced that Blue Origin has selected the company to support its global ground station buildout.

Blue Origin is making a significant investment in its global ground communications infrastructure to support current missions and enable its next generation of launch, spaceflight and exploration programs. RBC Signals, a leading provider of flexible and cost-effective space communications solutions, will assist in building a robust, scalable, and globally distributed ground communications network.

RBC Signals will support site surveys and preparation, as well as antenna procurement, deployment, and hosting. Once deployed, these new antennas will be integrated into the RBC Signals Global Ground Station Network, enabling their unused capacity to be made available to RBC Signals customers worldwide.

The expanded infrastructure will enhance mission resilience, increase downlink capacity, and support the demanding communications needs of Blue Origin’s growing portfolio of orbital and deep-space missions.

“Blue Origin is making long-term investments in ground communications infrastructure to support New Glenn missions and our portfolio of products,” said Tory Bruno, President of Blue Origin National Security. “Partnering with RBC Signals gives us the ability to rapidly build out our Quartz ground station network and access to deep operational expertise. This collaboration enables us to scale quickly, improve mission reliability, and ensure we meet the communication demands of our future.”

“We’re honored that Blue Origin has chosen RBC Signals as an operational partner for this important expansion,” said Ron Faith, CEO of RBC Signals. “Our mission is to provide reliable, flexible, and innovative communications solutions for the world’s most ambitious space operators. Blue Origin’s vision for the future of space exploration aligns perfectly with our capabilities, and we look forward to supporting their missions with a resilient and globally integrated communications network.”
