History

1958 The first antenna was installed at Santiago Satellite Station to support NASA.

1966 The first sounding rocket was launched from Esrange.

1972 SSC was founded by the Swedish government and at the same time SSC took the ownership of Esrange.

1974 The first balloon was launched from Esrange.

1976 SSC’s first maritime surveillance system was developed.

1977 SSC’s first microgravity experiment payload was flown on a sounding rocket.

1978 Esrange Landsat satellite station was inaugurated.

1986 Sweden’s first scientific satellite, Viking was launched. SSC was the prime contractor.

1990 The German space engineering company LSE Space was established. ESA’s satellite station in Salmijärvi was inaugurated. SSC has operated the station since then.

1992 The scientific satellite Freja, developed by SSC, was launched.

1995 The Dutch space engineering company Aurora Technology was established. The scientific microsatellite Astrid-1, developed by SSC, was launched.

1996 The U.S. based company, Universal Space Network (USN), was founded by the third man to walk on the Moon, Pete Conrad.

1996 SSC started the development of HPGP (High Performance Green Propulsion).

1998 The scientific microsatellite Astrid-2, developed by SSC, was launched.

2000 SSC acquired 10% of the shares in Universal Space Network. The establishment of what is to become the largest commercially available multi-mission ground station network, PrioraNet, begun.

2001 SSC formed the company ECAPS for further development of HPGP. The scientific satellite Odin, developed by SSC, was launched.

2003 SSC acquired the German space engineering company LSE Space. ESA’s moon probe SMART-1, developed by SSC, was launched.

2005 SSC acquired NanoSpace, a company that develops and markets miniaturized components and subsystems for space applications.

2008 SSC acquired Santiago Satellite Station from the University of Chile, Santiago.

2009 SSC acquired all shares of Universal Space Network. PrioraNet Canada, a joint venture between SSC and Blackbridge (former Iunctus Geomatics) was established with a satellite station in Inuvik, Canada. As of June 1, 2014, it is a wholly owned sub sidiary, SSC Space Canada.

2010 LSE Space acquired the Dutch engineering company Aurora Technology. The Prisma satellites, developed by SSC, was launched. HPGP and a micropropulsion system from NanoSpace were flown for the first time onboard Prisma.

2011 SSC sold its satellite division Space Systems to the German company OHB.

HIGHLIGHTS 2013Strong earning improvements for SSC SSC made its best operating results since 2003. Net operating income was 29 MSEK (26 MSEK) and the Group’s profit after net financial items and taxes was 11 MSEK (8 MSEK).

Two new board members were elected to the SSC board, SSC appointed Strategic Security Officer Håkan Syrén, Sweden’s former commander in chief and former chairman of the EU Military Committee, will strengthen the board with his in-depth experience and expertise in strategic security issues. Håkan Syrén will also be chairman of the Board’s Security Committee. John Stuart, business development director at the Canadian space company COMDEV International with more than 25 years of senior positions in the international market for space products and services, will contribute with the ability to assess and interpret developments in the global space industry.

To meet the strategic security challenges in the global environment, SSC appointed Stefan Gustafsson as Strategic Security Officer and member of the SSC executive committee. Stefan Gustafsson is specialized in management and governance structures of large organizations, strategy, risk and security, including in-depth expertise in Cyber Defense.

Science Services - Rocket and balloon technologies and launches from SSC’s unique facility Esrange Space Center

Four sounding rockets and four stratospheric balloons were launched from Esrange. One of the balloons, the Swedish-led pathfinder mission PoGOLite was taken down in Russia after a flight duration of 14 days.

SSC performed ESA parabolic flights with a metal solidification experiment onboard. SSC developed the x-ray monitoring and furnace system used for the experiment.

SSC continued its investments in the upgrade and modernization of Esrange, a project named “New Esrange”, with the aim to strengthen Esrange’s position as Europe’s most versatile and advanced space center offering a wide range of space services for the international scientific community. New Esrange also includes our ambition to launch small satellites.

Satellite Management Services - World-leading ground station services provided by SSC in Sweden, Chile, Australia, Canada and the U.S. (Universal Space Network)

SSC signed several new contracts and extended a number of existing contracts during the year. SSC supported the operation of many satellites and spacecraft, including China’s lunar probe Chang’e 3 and the manned space mission Shenzou-10, NASA’s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission and Landsat 8.

A new operations center was inugurated at Esrange and substantial automatization of the Santiago satellite station was imple-

mented as well as a major power system upgrade.

HIGHLIGHTS 2013

Engineering Services - Exceptional services provided by SSC in Sweden and its subsidiaries in Germany (LSE Space) and the Netherlands and Spain (Aurora Technology)

Engineering services supported a number of ESA and DLR missions during the year, including GAIA, SWARM, ATV-4 and the GOCE and Planck end of mission. They also were awarded an engineering support contract for the ESA Payload Safety Review Panel for ISS.

An LSE engineer received the ESA ISS award for her contribution to the Columbus project.

Technology - Revolutionary green propulsion technology (ECAPS), innovative miniaturized systems and components (NanoSpace), complete solutions for airborne maritime surveillance and advanced aerospace test systems

ECAPS’ partner in the U.S., ATK successfully completed tests of the the High Performance Green Propulsion (HPGP) thruster technology for NASA.

The Swedish National Space Board (SNSB) and NASA signed a bilateral cooperative agreement for NASA to test and evaluate ECAPS’ 5-Newton and 22-Newton High Performance Green Propulsion (HPGP) thrusters as well as the LMP-103S propellant.

NanoSpace delivered its first CubeSat propulsion module to its Slovenian customer.

Aerospace Test Systems conducted several test campaigns from the Vidsel Test Range (RFN) for both international and national customers. Several development projects were also carried out on behalf of the Swedish Defense Material Administration that runs the Vidsel Test Range.

The third MSS 6000 maritime surveillance system were installed in Vietnam Marine Police aircraft. The second upgradedsystem was delivered to the Finnish Border Guard for improved monitoring and protection of the BalticSea. Transport Canada has extended the boundaries of their maritime surveillance systems by using it in a new innovative way, whale detection. Airborne Systems was divested to Sjöland & Thyselius June 1, 2014.
