Ovzon 3 - Three months since the launch.

It’s now three months since we successfully launched Ovzon 3. The satellite is in great shape and currently in a phase where “boring is good” perigee is raised, apogee reduced and inclination decreasing. Power and propulsion subsystems functioning nominally. Meaning everything is on track for Ovzon 3 to reach its orbital position by mid-2024 as planned.

This achievement holds significance for Sweden as well, as Ovzon 3 marks the first-ever privately funded commercial GEO satellite, propelling the nation forward in space history, especially given the heightened focus on defense and security. It is with immense pride and humbleness that we acknowledge our role in such a crucial field. The satellite carrying the Ovzon On-Board-Processor continues its journey to the final position in GEO orbit, colloquially referred to as the “parking slot.”

Back on planet Earth, our primary focus continues to be on preparing our customers and partners for commercial and operational use of Ovzon 3’s unique capabilities. We are 100% dedicated to show and prepare how to leverage what the Ovzon 3 SATCOM-as-a-Service solution delivers.

These are indeed exciting times — for the satellite as it establishes itself in space, for our company as we grow, develop, implement, and explore new opportunities and collaborations, and for the Swedish Space Industry. The future holds promising ventures and advancements, and we are thrilled to be at the forefront of this transformative journey.
