Northwood Space is a US satellite ground-infrastructure company based in Torrance, California. Its website describes a business combining antenna hardware, network operations and software that schedules spacecraft contacts. Satellite operators can use shared infrastructure rather than operate every ground station themselves.
Its antenna products include Portal, a phased array for satellite command and control, and Prism, a parabolic dish for high-rate data links, as described in Via Satellite’s reporting. The company announced a US Space Force Satellite Control Network contract in its February 2026 funding release. This tracked record identifies the business and documented activity; it does not independently certify the company’s performance or rollout claims.
