Can I download the desktop app myself?
No. It is adopted through an Enterprise contract, and you start with a quote request before receiving the installer.
Desktop app
Run StellarHub on your own
infrastructure — the desktop app
The desktop app is an Enterprise feature that you install on your own servers and run internet-connected or in a closed network.
Adoption starts with a quote request. No account is needed.
Why a desktop app
For requirements a browser can't meet
An additional delivery channel for Enterprise customers with security, air-gap, branding, and native requirements.
Access control
Control access with a dedicated app where general-purpose browsers are restricted by security policy.
Air-gapped operation
Even in network-separated environments it runs without depending on browser updates, using the screens built into the app.
White-label branding
Customize the app name, icon, splash, and colors to match your corporate identity.
Native capabilities
Call system APIs directly for large satellite-image storage, local file access, and more.

On-premises internet-connected and closed-network adoption are the two models where the customer provides the infrastructure. They differ from cloud (SaaS), which you use through a browser.

Adoption starts with a quote
Tell us the adoption model you want and the products you need, and a salesperson will get back to you. No account needed.
Contact salesAdoption steps
Adoption runs in four steps
Start with a quote request, settle the adoption model, sign the contract, and then install and use the app.
Quote request
Tell us the adoption model you want and the products you need through the contact desk. No account is needed.
Settle the adoption model
Decide with your salesperson whether internet-connected, a closed network, or dedicated cloud fits.
Contract and install
Sign the Enterprise contract, receive the installer, and install it on your own servers.
Operate and renew
Updates go through an internal server when internet-connected, and by manual transfer in a closed network. Renewals and changes are handled by inquiry.
Each product is subscribed separately
Imagery Purchase and Tasking and AI Analysis in the desktop app are subscribed to and renewed separately for each product.
Subscribe only to the products you need. Each product has its own usage limits, and you settle the products together with your salesperson when you adopt.
In a closed network, imagery purchase and new capture orders are not available. Where the internet is blocked, adoption centers on uploading the imagery your organization already holds for AI analysis.
Helpful to tell us before adoption
- Internet access: whether internet-connected or a closed network
- Products you need: Imagery Purchase and Tasking, AI Analysis
- Your server environment: the servers and operating systems to install on
