Norwegian Space Agency

Norwegian Space Agency is Norway's national space agency and a funding and coordination body for space activity, with the public operator domain romsenter.no.^[1]^[2] It was formerly the Norwegian Space Centre and was renamed in February 2019.^[2] Its satellite record is centered on maritime and science infrastructure rather than a civilian EO satellite portfolio: AISSat and NorSat missions emphasize AIS vessel tracking, with NorSat-3 adding a navigation radar detector and NorSat-4 adding a low-light camera experiment.^[3]^[4] Operations for these small satellites are managed by Statsat AS, a Space Norway subsidiary, on NOSA's behalf.^[3]^[4] For EO buyers, NOSA is a national coordinator and sponsor in a maritime-surveillance space ecosystem, not the owner-operator of a broad EO constellation.^[1]^[3]^[4]
