In 2011, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace bought the company Norspace in Horten (Norspace is a continuation of the former AME Space and Alcatel Space Norway). Propulsion and the development of souding rockets, Launch facilities for sounding rocket and balloon operations, Ground stations and systems for satellite communication and operation.

Norway’s contributions to the space industry are the best in their field, driven by enthusiasm and interest in space. This interaction pushes development forward in both fields. There are many similarities between the demands of the offshore industry and the space industry.

Change ). Data from Norwegian companies that have received support in order to develop goods and services for space-related activities show that there have been major industrial ripple effects. Telenor is currently among the world’s five biggest suppliers of satellite communication services. In addition there are several start-ups and SMEs and reserach institutions. Including start-ups, SMEs, larger companies and research institutions. Norwegian Space Industry (c) ESA, CNES, Arianespace. Ground-based stations, satellite data and high technology. Satellite Navigation Satellite navigation has become one of the most important areas within the space sector, especially for Norway. There are 1,500 of these circuits in the space observatory.

This hyper-advanced space laboratory is searching for antimatter and dark matter in cosmic radiation from space, and the hope is that this may give us answers to some of the most fundamental mysteries in physics and the universe.

Conversely, their medical technology also uses sensors designed for space.

Several Norwegian companies have developed technology or services originally intended for offshore use and adapted them for use in space. Vi bruker informasjonskapsler på denne nettsiden for å gi deg den aller beste brukeropplevelsen. Gamma Medica Ideas has also supplied technology to the ASIM gamma radiation detector on the space station, the SWIFT satellite, which is searching for gamma ray bursts from distant exploding stars, and the European-Japanese Bepi Colombo space probe that will be studying Mercury, the innermost planet of the solar system.

It is in fields like these that Norway is able to compete in the space industry. COLORADO SPRINGS — State-owned company Space Norway is in negotiations for a two-satellite arctic broadband system that would have military and civil applications, a Norwegian … Andoya Space Centre have been launching sounding rockets since the 1960s.The scope of the Norwegian space industry. Through the membership in ESA and participation in the EU space programs and Horizon2020, Norwegian companies secure their opportunities for participation in the various space projects in Europe. Norwegian companies work closely with European and US space industry and a number of other international actors. Another major space company in Norway is Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.

For example, until the end of 2012, the logistics system used to maintain the European space laboratory Columbus on the international space station is supplied and operated by Marintek in Trondheim. Norway is also a world leader in marine satellite communication services. Very early on, Telenor began using Norwegian subcontractors for its satellite services. It is not only technology from the offshore industry that can be developed for use in space. assessing which critical parts are most likely to fail, is such an important part of the work of supplying the space station. Every krone’s worth of contracts awarded to Norwegian companies by the Norwegian Space Centre and ESA has generated an average of NOK 4.8 worth of business for the space industry and other industries. NIFRO has a diverse set of members, including manufacturers, R&D-institutes, satellite operators and developers as well as both large and small-scale businesses related to the Upstream and Downstream sectors within the space industry.

The Norwegian space industry currently consists of about 40 companies, large and small, in various locations across the country. Among other things, it will supply frequency generators and search and rescue transponders to 14 of the satellites in the European Galileo navigation system. Norway also participate as a full member in EUs programmes such as Galileo, Copernicus and Horizon 2020. Marintek’s special skills in maintenance procedures, analyses and supplying spare parts were developed for offshore and shipping. Kongsberg Norspace, among others, will supply technology for Telenor’s new satellite, Thor 7. They develop and produce everything from terminals for satellite communication to flowerpots for plant research in space, and sell their services from Antarctica in the south to Svalbard in the north. When something breaks down on the space station, it can take up to six months for a spare part to be delivered, assuming that a spare part exists at all. NASA Announces 14 New “Tipping Point” Technologies for its Lunar Exploration, Company advances plan for private citizen flight to space station, NASA and Seven Countries Sign the Artemis Accords for the Exploration of the Moon.

Presens, based in Oslo, is a small company with 40 employees and a hive-off from SINTEF. (c) ESA, CNES, Arianespace. However, interaction between the offshore and space industries can also go the other way. Presens has supplied pressure sensors to satellites such as the European Space Agency ESA’s new weather satellite ADM-Aeolus. NIFRO was founded in 1986 by a group of research institutions and companies interested in space activities.

The Norwegian space industry has proven to be sustainable. It acquired Thor I, its first satellite, in 1992. Today NIFRO represent a broad range of companies in the up-stream, downstream and service segments of the space sector. That’s why supplying spare parts and accurately analysing the need for maintenance, i.e. The Norwegian Industrial Forum for Space Activities (NIFRO) is the national industry organization formed to promote the interests and growth of Norwegian space industry. Gamma Medica Ideas’ electronic circuits amplify the signal from cosmic radiation, and are important tools in separating matter from antimatter.

satellite telephony, TV, radio and internet transmission, is the Norwegian space industry’s biggest field. Several Norwegian companies contribute to the Ariane launcher program,Norwegian space industry has combined revenues on the order of 8 billion NOK per year.
