Arctic Space Center,
Sweden.
A Hyperscale Ground Station integrated with a datacenter, at 65.34°N — watching the polar sky, around the clock.
Next-generation ground segment services
Operationally reliable. Commercially viable. Scalable from day one. Coverage for polar-orbiting satellites from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Pole, integrated with on-site storage, processing, and distribution.
Multi-orbit by geography.
Polar position. Clean RF. Calm weather. The Arctic Space Center sits where physics, infrastructure, and orbital mechanics line up.
- Up to 12 passes per day for polar-orbiting LEO satellites
- GEO satellite coverage to 15° elevation, 40.0° to 3.0° East
- Coverage from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Pole
- Approximately 5° horizon mask
- Clean RF environment, calm weather conditions year-round
A clean RF environment under polar skies.
High-latitude operation means up to twelve LEO passes per day, polar-orbit coverage from the Mediterranean to the North Pole, and a low-noise sky that makes the spectrum cleaner. The aurora is the side benefit.

~55°N, 105°WFrequently Asked Questions
Where is the Arctic Space Center?
In Piteå, Northern Sweden, at 65.34°N, 21.43°E. It is a hyperscale ground station integrated with a datacenter.
How many satellite passes per day does the site support?
Up to twelve passes per day for polar-orbiting LEO satellites, with GEO coverage to 15° elevation between 40.0° and 3.0° East, and roughly a 5° horizon mask.
What orbital coverage does the location provide?
Coverage from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Pole for polar-orbiting satellites, thanks to its high-latitude position.
Is the facility expanding to other locations?
Yes — new ground station sites are under evaluation in New Zealand and Canada to extend multi-orbit coverage across the Southern Hemisphere and North America.
