SSC offers reliable solutions for satellite operations world wide. We operate one of the busiest ground stations in the world at Esrange Space Center in Northern Sweden as well as ground stations in strategic locations around the world through PrioraNet
SSC provides facilities and satellite expertise to customers who want to reduce investment in infrastructure, equipment and personnel for satellite operations. Our business strategy is to be the first choice partner for outsourced operations regardless of geographical location and to provide our customers with expert engineering – and operations resources to operate their satellites.
SSC is involved in different satellite operations and you can read more about them here SSC missions
During 2010/2011 SSC is planning to support several new missions from our stations within PrioraNet. Here are some of them:
