Heavens-Above GmbH

We develop software for the space industry — in an environment where reliability, precision, and technical depth are essential. Our solutions support ground station operations and make satellite telemetry visible, understandable, and usable in real time inside mission control rooms. Our software is used in the context of crewed and uncrewed space missions, from launch support to ongoing mission operations. In addition to professional software products for the space sector, we also operate Heavens-Above.com, one of the long-standing platforms for satellite predictions and amateur astronomy.

How we work

How We Work Our work is shaped by technical accuracy, long-term product thinking, and a strong focus on system stability. When satellite data is visualized, analyzed, and securely made available in mission control environments, every detail matters. We work in a small, specialized setting with short communication paths and direct responsibility. Instead of large corporate structures, you can expect deep technical work, pragmatic decision-making, and the opportunity to contribute to core software components. Our software needs to be clear, robust, and reliable — for operators, engineers, and mission partners who depend on accurate data and fast situational awareness.

Our location

Our Location Our company is based in Munich, Germany. Professionally, we are closely connected to the space ecosystem around DLR and the German Space Operations Center in Oberpfaffenhofen. The Munich/Oberpfaffenhofen region is one of Germany’s important hubs for space operations, satellite communication, earth observation, robotics, and applied research. If the operational workplace is located directly on or near the DLR site, this sentence could be added: Our working environment is located close to the DLR site in Oberpfaffenhofen — one of Germany’s key locations for space operations, earth observation, and mission control.
