. @KSAT_Kongsberg is ready to monitor the launch of @esa's #ArcticWeatherSatellite📡🛰️
The first signal will be acquired from Svalbard ground station (Svalsat).
Svalsat's location at 78° North latitude provides a unique advantage for tracking and communicating with satellites in polar orbits.

In the city of Tromsø🇳🇴, between May and July, the sun never drops below the horizon
As a result, residents never experience total darkness in summer, due to the so-called 🌙Midnight Sun🌞

We love Space and we love our planet! 🌎
Today we want to share the love with all of you! Happy Valentines day from all of us at KSAT ♥️

KSAT will invest in a purpose- built lunar ground network to meet the rapidly increasing demand for lunar comms.
Lunar comms is a natural next step for us, KSAT EVP of Strategy & Technology Arnulf Kjeldsen says.

Thanked 🇳🇴 PM @jonasgahrstore for a strong defense support to 🇺🇦 in the fight against Russian aggression. Noted the strong sanctions imposed by 🇳🇴. Reported on the course of 🇺🇦 defense & the aggressor's crimes against civilians. We continue joint work, including @sec_council.
It just keeps snowing and snowing in Svalbard, and we have to clear the radoms.📡For that we use thick, heavy ropes. You take a really good grip and give it a turn so that the snow eventually falls off! ❄ Photo: @Anna_Filip for @nytimes#groundstation#lifeinthearctic
