Right Ascension 231 is a space systems engineering team. It builds ground systems for spacecraft and satellite operations. The company calls its product the Intelligent Space Platform.

The platform is open source and cloud native. It can run on site or in any commercial or private cloud. The company says it avoids proprietary, closed systems. Its core product handles the configuration, versioning, and deployment of a set of applications.

The company names its target customers. They include federal agencies such as NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Space Force, the Air Force, and other defense organizations. Commercial satellite operators and space companies are also named.

The site says the platform aligns with the NIST Risk Management Framework. The company also published a reference architecture for an open ground system. It was presented at the Ground Systems Architecture Workshop in 2026.

The leadership page lists two founders. One leads strategy and has more than ten years of space operations work at NASA. The other has 30 years of engineering and operations experience in defense, aviation, and healthcare.

The site has a contact page with a form. It also has a newsletter sign-up and a link to the company's LinkedIn page.
