6th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Sydney September 2025:
Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT), a global leader in ground station and satellite services, announces the launch of Integrated Mission Services (IMS), a new end-to-end offering that provides satellite owners with a seamless solution for mission operations, ground network access, and data delivery.
As the number of small satellites and large constellations continues to grow at unprecedented speed, IMS enables satellite owners to scale efficiently while reducing the burden of managing in-house ground infrastructure and operations teams.
“Every mission relies on a reliable ground backbone to operate, connect, and deliver insights from space,” said Marte Indregard, EVP Ground Network at KSAT (image below).
“With Integrated Mission Services, we are giving satellite owners a cost-efficient and resilient way to keep their satellites online while allowing them to concentrate on their payload capabilities and downstream growth.”.
A Complete Mission-Operations Backbone
KSAT’s Integrated Mission Services bundles launch support, satellite operations, and mission monitoring into a single subscription. The service delivers:
-
Cost-efficient scalability – Owners can expand fleets without heavy upfront investment or additional staff.
-
Robust and secure operations – A global, redundant ground network with strong cyber safeguards.
-
Resilient performance – Event-driven operations reduce downtime and speed recovery from hours to minutes.
Through IMS, KSAT offers a pay-as-you-grow model, ensuring that as satellite fleets expand, satellite owners can seamlessly add capacity without new infrastructure or operational overhead. Automated workflows and continuous health checks further reduce operator workload and enable rapid recovery, ensuring missions remain resilient and efficient.
Proven in Orbit
KSAT’s flight-proven multi-mission team already supports missions like ESA’s Arctic Weather Satellite, GHGSat’s greenhouse-gas monitoring constellation, and the Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission.
From first contact to decommissioning, KSAT provides full lifecycle support with built-in automation, continuous health monitoring, and a single user interface for mission control and data management.
Always on a mission, KSAT delivers the backbone that keeps satellites connected while enabling owners to focus on innovation and downstream growth.
