Kongsberg Satellite Services

• Established 1967, main office Tromsø, Norway

• World´s largest independent commercial satellite center

• 155 employees, +60 MEuro turnover

• Round the clock operations (24h / 365d)

• Satellite operations services

– Mission operations support & Data handling, all phases

– 120 antennas, ~100 satellites, 28 000 passes/month

– Global station network, Tromsø customer network access site

• Multimission global Near real-time services

– Information delivery to customer in 30-120 min globally

– Combining imagery and non-imagery information (AIS, models)

– Oil spill detection and monitoring services

– Vessel detection and activity monitoring services

Satellite technologies for the Arctic

• Challenging area weather, light, population, …….

• Information delivery time critical (< 60 min)

• Meteorological satellites since 70-ties

• Today’s all weather radar satellites, optical supplementary

• High latitude satellite telecom still challenging and expensive

• Frequent repetivity and coverage, ground station data access

– Svalbard and Inuvik

• Multisource satellite programs and continuity

– Europe/Norway: Copernicus, AISSAT

– Canada: Radarsat

• Operational maritime service capabilities

– Customer involvement and contributions

– Research for innovation and improvement

Oil spill detection and monitoring - First operational Copernicus type service -

• R&I project developed into EMSA Pan-European service since 2006

– Initial Norwegian R&I project 1990+, followed by similar European activities

• KSAT leading provider for global/national authorities, oil&gas industry

• Multimission service utilising radar missions, combining (satellite-)AIS, Models

• Regular monitoring and/or Emergency service

• Information to users < 15-60 minutes

• Satellite information for early warning and more

effective aircraft monitoring

Status and the future

• Existing operational satellite capabilities – Near real-time services for ice, vessels, oil spills, metocean

– Coverage, fast tasking and costs still challenging

– Mission continuity (Copernicus, Radarsat, AISSAT, …)

• Arctic increasing focus and importance – Resource, climate, safety and security

– Extended, updated and reliable information demand

• Newspace decade – Small satellites constellations (radar, optical, ……)

– Improve coverage, tasking time and lower costs

– Pan-Arctic ground station network for data access

• R&D innovative services and improved understanding – Ice classification, metocean (wind, current), vessels vs icebergs,

oil spill characterisation and detection – in ice, climate change

Innovation and research for the future
