Space Communications Licensing, Simplified.

Every filing. Every condition. Every deadline. One place.

Aurora Nova turns your spacecraft and ground station parameters into complete FCC filings — then helps you track the conditions, requirements, milestones, and deadlines to ensure compliance.

The status quo

Every change means starting over.

Licensing isn't one and done. It's the same, manual process repeated for every change to spacecraft, ground sites, orbits, frequencies, and more.

Your engineers, regulatory personnel, and outside counsel and consultants spend their hours on assembly and data entry — not on the parts that need their expertise.

Prepare Filings
Find and pull parameters out of PDFs and spreadsheets and re-enter into complex forms, schedules, exhibits, narratives, and other filing documents.
Respond
Answer comments and questions with the same parameters and coordinate as needed
Comply
Conditions, requirements, and deadlines land in a spreadsheet, calendar, or someone's head

How it works

Simply Update. Auto Generate.

Aurora Nova keeps your spacecraft, ground site, and link parameters structured and current with auto-generated filings, then tracks your grant conditions, milestones, and deadlines - all in one place.

Import Existing Filings

Import existing FCC and ITU filings as structured data or upload your own via CSV.

Simplify Change Management

Easily maintain and update your spacecraft, ground sites, orbits, comms configurations, and more — all in one place and shareable with internal teammates and external parties.

Auto-Generate Filings

Auto-generated applications, schedules, exhibits, narratives, and more from changed parameters.

Easily Track Compliance

Track and monitor grant conditions, required bonds and milestones, deadlines, reporting obligations, duty cycles, boresight limitations, and more.

How we help.

Without Aurora Nova

  • ✗The same parameters retyped into every form, schedule, and exhibit
  • ✗Grant conditions, milestones, and deadlines tracked in email and spreadsheets — or in someone's head
  • ✗Drift between what you filed and what you actually fly
  • ✗Design changes that never make it back into the filings that reference them
  • ✗Institutional knowledge that walks out the door with your regulatory lead
  • ✗Engineering and legal hours spent on assembly and data entry

With Aurora Nova

  • ✓One structured record of your spacecraft, ground sites, and communications parameters
  • ✓Filings generated from that record — not re-entered into it
  • ✓Every condition, milestone, and deadline tracked from the day of grant
  • ✓Design changes that propagate into every filing they touch
  • ✓A complete, auditable history of what you filed, when, and on what data
  • ✓Engineering and legal hours spent on the parts that actually need judgment

Who it's for

Built for the people who carry the regulatory load.

Built in partnership with spacecraft operators and ground networks operating today.

Spacecraft operators

Space station authorizations, modifications, and the milestones and conditions that come with them — from your first filing through every change to your fleet.

Ground station operators

Earth station licensing and modifications across every site you operate — and automated checking against your customers' filings.

Outside counsel & consultants

Simplify and accelerate your customers' filing processes and information management — letting you focus on where you add the most value.

Who we are

We've spent more time in ICFS than anyone should.

Aurora Nova was founded by engineers and operators out of NASA, Capella Space, and Stanford. We've launched spacecraft, built ground station integrations, and filed with the FCC ourselves.

Before we wrote a line of product code, we ran more than 200 interviews with spacecraft operators, ground networks, and regulators — mapping how space licensing actually works. Where the time goes. Where the errors come from. Why the same parameters get re-entered a dozen times a year.

Part 100 is here. Be ready for it.

Book time with the team and we'll walk you through our Regulatory Manager with your actual filing data.
