Space capabilities providing security - a seminar on the role of space assets in security and defence

Space plays a pivotal role in ensuring safety and security. With key space capabilities such as the orbital launch site at Andøya, Norway is set to play a key role in securing access to space. Norway also have a significant number of assets in space ensuring information and connectivity for defence and security purposes. The latest example is the Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission (ASBM) launched on August 11th . The two satellites in the mission owned by Space Norway carries payloads from both US and Norwegian armed forces as well as commercial payload.
