Ground infrastructure

Commercial ground station network operated by KSAT (Kongsberg Satellite Services). The largest commercial ground station network globally with antennas at more than 25 sites spanning polar (Svalbard at 78 N, Troll at 72 S) to equatorial latitudes. The Svalbard and Troll stations are the structural differentiator: at high latitudes a polar-orbiting EO satellite passes over the station every orbit, providing 12 to 14 downlink opportunities per day per station versus 2 to 4 from equatorial-only networks. Service offering covers mission operations, telemetry, tracking and command, downlink, and data delivery for EO, communications, scientific, and smallsot operators. KSATlite is the productised smallsat-tier service. The April 2026 strategic partnership with NanoAvionics integrates KSAT ground services into the NanoAvionics standard mission stack.
