History
KSAT states that its story started in 1967 with a pioneering spirit to break new ground, and that from its headquarters in Norway it has grown into a world-leading global space company built to deliver secure, resilient, always-on services. It was among the first to introduce near real-time operational monitoring services in the 1990s, and it helped define the industry benchmark by pioneering near real-time maritime situational awareness and operational oil spill detection. Today it operates a global network of several hundred antennas across 40+ ground station locations, optimized for polar, inclined and equatorial orbits, and provides Earth Observation services with some of the fastest delivery times available. It has operated a Quality Management System certified according to the ISO 9001 standard since 2003.
