KSAT Unveils Integrated Mission Services for Scalable Satellite Operations

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) has introduced Integrated Mission Services (IMS), a comprehensive, end-to-end solution designed to streamline satellite operations across the full mission lifecycle.

IMS provides satellite owners with seamless support, from launch preparation and orbit operations to data delivery and decommissioning. With the accelerating growth of small satellites and mega-constellations, IMS enables operators to scale efficiently without the cost and complexity of building and managing in-house ground infrastructure.

“Every mission relies on a reliable ground backbone to operate, connect, and deliver insights from space,” said Marte Indregard, EVP Ground Network at KSAT. “With Integrated Mission Services, we are giving satellite owners a cost-efficient and resilient way to keep their satellites online while focusing on payload capabilities and downstream growth.”

A Complete Mission-Operations Backbone

IMS consolidates multiple services into a single subscription model, offering:

• Cost-efficient scalability: Seamless fleet expansion without heavy upfront investment or staff increases.

• Secure and robust operations: A redundant, global ground network fortified with strong cybersecurity.

• Resilient performance: Event-driven operations that reduce downtime and cut recovery times from hours to minutes.

Through its pay-as-you-grow model, KSAT ensures operators can expand their satellite fleets effortlessly while maintaining efficiency, reliability, and mission resilience. Automated workflows and continuous health checks further reduce operational overhead, helping satellite owners deliver value faster.
