Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) and Ovzon have strengthened their partnership as Sweden looks to boost its capabilities in space. They have signed a teaming agreement to broaden and deepen the partnership with the aim to develop unique sovereign space and satellite capabilities. The two parties announced the deal, Dec. 2.

Ovzon, with its Ovzon 3 satellite, and SSC, with its extensive space service portfolio, say the companies are positioned to support these vital objectives for Sweden, the Nordics, and NATO allies for multi-domain operations across the air, land, and maritime domains. This comes after Sweden joined NATO earlier this year.

“This is a strategic teaming between two very complimentary organizations that will be able to deliver the most advanced and unique solutions in a very challenged world both from a geopolitical, total defense and sustainability perspective,” Charlotta Sund, CEO, SSC, said in a statement.
