OHB Sweden

OHB Sweden took part in the Swedish Space delegation visit to India joining the Swedish-India Space Industry day at ISRO and discussing cooperation with a lot of potential industry partners in India. So interesting to meet with and visit both experienced space companies and very impressive startups! We look forward to continue our contacts!

#ArcticWeatherSatellite captures images of storm Boris Arctic Weather Satellite, which was launched a month ago, is still being tested in orbit for system functionality. However, we can already see the potential usefulness of the data that it can provide. The European Space Agency - ESA has published some animations and pictures from AWS in this link: https://lnkd.in/et4kG7vm As Prime Contractor for Arctic Weather Satellite we at OHB Sweden we are extremely proud of this achievement. We hope for a lot more to come.

The first image from the Arctic Weather Satellite   European Space Agency - ESA's Arctic Weather Satellite was successfully launched on August 16th from Vandenberg, California   OHB Sweden is the mission prime and is currently conducting the initial check-out of the satellite together with KSAT – Kongsberg Satellite Services from their facilities in Tromsö. As part of the satellite preparations for its mission, the microwave radiometer was briefly turned on for a functional check. Even though the data is preliminary, the results, uncorrected for artefacts, are promising. The image below was generated by the instrument, provided by AAC Clyde Space / Omnisys and processed by Deimos Engenharia/RDA - Research and Development in Aerospace GmbH. Going forward, an orbit transfer period is planned to adjust the orbit. Subsequently, the instrument will be commissioned during a longer time period, and data evaluated. So far so good!! #ESA #ohbsweden #ArcticWeatherSatellite #ohb

We are extremely proud to announce that Arctic Weather Satellite is in good health in orbit after an incredible launch event yesterday evening/night on SpaceX Transporter-11. Thanks to European Space Agency - ESA and all our industrial partners and contributors for making this mission happen together!

We are next in line...🚀 After so much work, by so many talented, hard working people, at so many great companies, it's finally crunch time. We are very much looking forward to the launch of Arctic Weather Satellite Friday evening (CEST) August 16. AWS is an important pre-cursor to "nowcasting" weather over the poles and elsewhere on earth, and to better understand climate change. https://lnkd.in/dGYAEmV2 #launch #soon #ESA #OHB #Sweden #InnoSat #Sterna

Why is AWS so important? The European Space Agency - ESA clearly explains its expected impact in this nice movie. We are proud to have contributed to this mission as the overall mission prime and showcasing our InnoSat low-cost and in-time approach developed over the past decades into this high-profile ESA mission. As ESA highlights, our "newspace" approach is not only about the actual hardware or software, it is a product philosophy and management approach together with the Customer which allows rapid decision making on both sides. #AWS #launch #soon #ESA #OHB #Sweden #InnoSat #Sterna

On the 1.08.24 we had the pleasure and honor to have Jean-Jacques Dordain, among others former ESA General Director and current Chairman of Satlantis, visiting us in Kista. It was the opportunity to show him the GARAI A satellite, the fruit of the cooperation between Satlantis, our customer, and OHB Sweden. GARAI A is first of a series of commercial earth observation satellites with multi-spectral cameras of Satlantis with a resolution of up to 80 cm. This dual use highly capable satellite can fulfill several types of missions in the security and defense area and will be launched this autumn. #OHB #Sweden #Satlantis #InnoSat #Defence #smallsat

Next week the annual largest conference on small satellites will take place again in Logan, Utah. Meet us at the OHB booth #70 on the 2nd floor of the Taggart Student Center (TSC) to talk about small satellite missions based on our InnoSat platform #product line, small EP solutions based on our EPsylon #product line, Mission Control Software based on our RAMSES #product line or custom high-end AOCS/GNC solutions and many more. Catch up with our head of BD&Sales Fredrik Sjöberg and one of our InnoSat system engineers Guillermo Martinez Cabalga. This year we will present our work through two presentations: 1. Monday Aug 5, 5.45 PM, Next on the Pad I: "GARAI mission: Two Microsatellites Embarking Four Imagers for Multispectral Submetric Earth Observation Serving Critical Applications" presented by our customer SATLANTIS 2. Tuesday, Aug 6, 2.15 PM, Automation: "Maximizing Autonomy on a Small Satellite Platform" presented by Guillermo Martinez Cabalga highlighting all the advanced onboard autonomy on our InnoSat platform minimizing our customers' efforts in operating their satellites Hope to meet you in Logan! #smallsats #OHB #Sweden #InnoSat #EPsylon #AOCS

Sverige har för första gången fått en nationell försvars- och säkerhetsstrategi för rymden. En viktig millstolpe för Sverige och industri. Som ledande företag inom svensk rymdindustri vill vi aktivt bidra genom att tillhandahålla avancerade satelliter, delsystem och rymdtjänster för ökad säkerhet och försvarsförmåga.     Hela rapporten: https://lnkd.in/eHZBmQsN ----------------------English --------------------- For the first time, Sweden has established a national defense and security strategy for space. An important milestone for Sweden and industry. As a leading company in the Swedish space industry, we want to actively contribute to this by providing advanced satellites, subsystems and space services for increased security and defense capabilities.

The Arctic Weather Satellite launch is getting closer. We can't wait for it to start doing important measurements of the earth's atmosphere , especially over the polar areas. If things go well, there will be more AWSs to help improve, and give more accurate and up to date, weather predictions in these areas. OHB Sweden is very proud to have been leading the industrial consortium making this satellite a reality in such a short time, and in time, in accordance with the original project plan. This is quite an achievement by all companies and organisations that are part of this great mission. So there is still some time before launch, but we will give you the heads up once we are allowed to communicate the launch date. In the mean time, please take a look at this movie from Rymdstyrelsen (Swedish National Space Agency), explaining how AWS works, and with interviews with SMHI and our own project manager, Joakim Kugelberg: https://lnkd.in/d679Be2W (in Swedish for now). Have a fantastic Midsummer folks 🌻☀️! #esa #snsa #ohb #ohbsweden #climatechange #satellites #weather
