We started in 1986 with Viking, Sweden’s first scientific satellite, being successfully placed into a polar orbit.
We have successfully operated all the in-house manufactured scientific polar satellites and the Swedish telecommunication satellite Tele-X, launched in 1989. Today we have both prime and back-up operations for geostationary and polar satellites.
The services are performed from our Mission Control Center (MCC) at Esrange Space Center just outside Kiruna. Our operators have extensive experience in operating various platforms and can quickly address changing operational needs.
