I morgen er det Ground Control #6 — og været er med oss. 24 grader, sol og klarvær meldt.

Vi holder til på takterrassen på Mesh Nationaltheateret, Tordenskiolds gate 2.

Frank Udnæs, direktør for nasjonale programmer i Direktoratet for romvirksomhet, forteller om små satellitter: fra CubeSat-standarden i 1999, via AISSat-1 i 2010, til et marked som vokser mot over 40 000 satellitter i bane det neste tiåret. Han har jobbet med dette i 15 år.

Samme kveld slipper vi de første keynote-navnene og temaene til Spaceport Norway 2026: North Star Rising i oktober. Og vurderer en rabattkode for de som kommer...

Gratis. Onsdag 26. august, kl. 17:00.

Ground Control #6 Small satellites, big shifts – Spaceport Norway 12/08/2026

Sommeren går mot slutten. Ground Control er tilbake — og vi starter på takterrassen hos Mesh Nationaltheateret.

Ground Control #6, 26. august: Frank Udnæs, direktør for nasjonale programmer ved Norsk Romsenter, tar oss gjennom historien om små satellitter i Norge — fra AISSat-1 i 2010 til et globalt marked som nå anslår 17 000 nye oppsendinger innen 2035.

Revolusjonen har vært reell. Spørsmålet nå er hvem som kan levere i skala — og hva det betyr for norsk industri.

Samme kveld slipper vi de første keynote-navnene til Spaceport Norway 2026: North Star Rising i Oslo 27.–28. oktober.

Ground Control #6 er støttet av Direktoratet for romvirksomhet, Lunar sponsor for Spaceport Norway 2026.

Gratis. Onsdag 26. august kl. 17:00. Mesh Nationaltheateret, takterrassen, Oslo.

Ground Control #6 Small satellites, big shifts – Spaceport Norway Norway launched its first microsatellite in 2010. Frank Udnæs has been watching the smallsat market ever since — and explains what 17,000 new satellites means for Norway. — Join us at Mesh Youngstorget, Oslo. Free entrance. Ground Control by Spaceport Norway.

[TURN ON SOUND]

In 2017, Arnt-Børre Salberg gave the opening talk at the first Spaceport Norway on AI and satellites. Few outside the research community had grasped what was coming. That talk led to a collaboration with ESA that produced THOR — Norway's breakthrough AI model for Earth observation, now setting the standard within ESA and open to everyone.

On Wednesday 29 April, Salberg comes back to show where that story has led — and what it opens up for everyone.

Free entry.
Mesh Youngstorget, Oslo. 17:00.
Seats still available.

Welcome!

Da er Isar Aerospace klare for andre forsøk på andre Spectrum flight fra Andøya Space sin romhavn på Andøya.

Oppskytingsvindu er fra i morgen kl 22 - vi gleder oss og krysser fingre for bra vær og samarbeidsvillige fiskere og båtfolk...link til youtube i posten under 👇

Let´s go to orbit!

We are targeting NET 9 April to launch Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ during the available launch window, which opens at 8pm UTC; 10pm CEST. The final date remains subject to weather, safety and range infrastructure.

Tonight, for the first time since 1972, humans travel beyond low Earth orbit. (finally!)

Artemis II lifts off at 6:24 PM EDT from Kennedy Space Center.
Four astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Jeremy Hansen — will fly past the Moon and farther into space than any human has ever been.

This is not a landing. It’s a verification flight: does everything actually work, with people on board, in deep space?

The timing matters. Just last week, at NASA’s “Ignition” event on March 24, the agency unveiled a series of major initiatives designed to establish an enduring American presence on the Moon — including a phased approach to building a permanent lunar base, crewed lunar surface landings targeting every six months beyond Artemis V, and up to 30 robotic landings starting in 2027. On the 25 March, we had our second Ground Control event at Mesh, where Professor Svein-Erik Hamran from Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) laid out his Moon project…timing matters indeed!

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman framed it plainly: “The clock is running in this great-power competition, and success or failure will be measured in months, not years.”

Artemis II is the first real step in that sequence.
And Norwegian technology is on board.

NORCE (formerly Clara Venture Labs) has delivered advanced ceramic water filters to the European Service Module powering Orion. In space there is no gravity to move water — so nitrogen gas under pressure, up to 3.5 bar, does the job. The filter keeps nitrogen and water strictly separated, because gas entering the water system can take the entire supply offline. The ceramic filter elements are supplied by Keranor in Oslo, integrated into NORCE’s system. Small components. Life-critical function.

KSAT - Kongsberg Satellite Services, with antennas in Tromsø and Svalbard, will track the precise position of the Orion capsule throughout the mission.

We’re entering a sustained period of human activity beyond Earth orbit. The infrastructure for that future is being built now — and Norwegian precision engineering is part of it.

Godspeed, Artemis II 🌕

Livestream: "Onward and Upward" Mission of Isar Aerospace 25/03/2026

Tonight, Isar Aerospace's Spectrum rocket lifts off for the second time from Andøya Space launch facilities — a qualification flight carrying real payloads, and a real shot at Europe's first orbital launch from continental European soil.

At Spaceport Norway, we've been watching this build since 2020. Andøya isn't just a launch site — it's proof that Norway belongs at the heart of Europe's sovereign space future.

Go Isar Aerospace - go Andøya Space!

🚀 Launch window opens at 21:00 CET. Watch live:
