🚀 Smallsat Symposium 2025 – What a ride! 🌍✨ Last week, we had an amazing time at SmallSat Symposium, sharing how we’re taking SatOps to the next level! After years of building expertise and capacity, we’re now operational – successfully flying 13 satellites and delivering real impact. We kicked off the event with a Tech Brief on Day 1, showcasing the advantages of our SatOps approach. Beyond the stage, our booth was buzzing with great conversations (and, yes, some lucky attendees walked away with a pair of cool "S.O.C. socks" to rock the conference! 🧦🚀). Our Head of Comms also joined a panel to highlight exciting new missions and sensors like hyperspectral and thermal and what new applications that can bring to the EO market , the increasing need for maritime domain awareness in the Arctic, and insights into Norway’s National smallsat program. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, exchanged ideas, and made this such a fantastic event! Until next time – let’s keep rocking the S.O.C.! #SmallsatSymposium #SatOps #NewSpace #EarthObservation #MaritimeAwareness #SmallSat #SpaceInnovation

We are pleased to be featured in SpaceNews about our expanded role in satellite operations for government and commercial customers. 🛰 👏 We are very proud of our highly specialised and skilled KSAT Satellite Operations Team, currently operating 13 satellites in orbit, including the European Space Agency - ESA Arctic Weather Satellite, Space Norway’s two-satellite Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission and GHGSAT’s greenhouse-gas-monitoring constellation. 🌎 We are looking forward to adding more! Let’s talk about how we can support your next mission. 🚀 Come find us at #SmallSat2025 booth 16 and 17. #SatOps #WeConnectSpaceAndEarth #SpaceNews

🚀 Norway as a Space Nation – in the Spotlight at Arctic Frontiers! 🌍✨ This week, the Norwegian space industry has been in focus at Arctic Frontierss in Tromsø, where dedicated sessions have highlighted Norway’s role and future opportunities in space. Why now? For years, Norwegian companies have delivered world-leading products and services in niche markets. But now, Norway is emerging as a Space Nation, capable of delivering across the entire satellite value chain. At KSAT, we’ve spent decades transforming satellite data into operational decision-making support. Since the 1990s, we’ve provided: 🛰 Oil spill detection as part of national preparedness 🛳 Vessel detection for efficient fisheries monitoring and coastal traffic control With increasing focus on security and preparedness in the Arctic, Norway is leading the way in leveraging satellite-based data to enhance domain awareness. #NorwegianSpace #SpaceNation #ArcticFrontiers #KSAT #SatelliteTechnology Innovation Norway Norwegian Space Agency European Space Agency - ESA

How can satellite services improve and secure life in the Arctic? 🌍❄️ 📅 Tuesday, January 28, at 15:30, Maja-Stina Ekstedt, EVP Sustainability, Public Relations, and Communications at KSAT, will share the stage at the Arctic Frontiers Space Event to discuss the transformative role of space technology for the Arctic. In the panel discussion hosted by Norsk Romsenter and Nærings- og fiskeridepartementet, she will focus on how Norwegian satellite services can: 🔍 Improve maritime situational awareness in Arctic waters to enhance safety and preparedness. 🌡️ Monitor climate change, extreme weather, and incidents impacting nature and society. 📡 Provide essential communication solutions for areas without sufficient bandwidth. Drawing from her experience in Svalbard, Maja-Stina highlights the growing international interest as the Arctic oceans opens up, increasing the need for reliable monitoring and communication. These services—like ship detection, satellite communication, and data downlink—are critical, not only for the Arctic but for Europe’s security and sustainability goals in an unpredictable world. The Arctic holds unique challenges and opportunities, and space technologies can help us build a safer, more sustainable future for the region. 🚀 Additional speakers include Cecilie T. Myrseth, Ole Morten Olsen, Andreas Østhagen Claude Veron-Reville. #ArcticFrontiers #SpaceTechnology #Sustainability #KSAT
