10 Norway long history spaceborne maritime surveillance Norway started already in 1984 focusing on maritime applications and radar satellites Vast ocean areas combined with darkness demanded new surveillance technology Oil-spill and vessel detection service developed in Norway In cooperation with national authority End-user involvement from the start instrumental to obtain success Operational oil-spill (including vessel detection) service contracts for over a decade Lead partner in today s Pan-European oil spill detection service Launched AISSat-1 in July 2010 / 10 / 31-May-13 / 10 / WORLD CLASS through people, technology and dedication

24 Detection and tracking of icebergs in Arctic Possible treats to activities Offshore oil & gas Commercial shipping Challenge Identify the target Discriminate iceberg vs ship Tracking of the ice berg / 24 / 31-May-13 WORLD CLASS through people, technology and dedication

25 Space on the political agenda Large EU initiatives: Galileo and Copernicus Norway is currently taking part in both programmes through 2013 under the European Economic Area mechanism. White paper to the parliament on Space Activity Current Norwegian Position from the Minister of Trade and Industry Use of space shall benefit the society. That s why the activity in Norway is referred to as space economics rather than just space activity Norway has about 2% of the clobal space economy. The space activity is then located in between fish farming and oil and gas relative to the share of global turnover Norsk Romsenter

26 Future perspectives Arctic importance increase satellite technology for management, environment, operations safety and security Norways ambitions to be the lead regional provider Utilise ground segment, user relationships and existing operational service capabilities Services - status Existing services improve (oil spill, vessel detection) New services establish (ice, cryosphere, coastal zone) Services - approach Integrated multisensor, multiuser services EO (SAR) data and auxiliary data sources Cooperation with R&D institutions Define needs, provide data, coordinate activities/projects Access to new/improved methods for services / 26 / 31-May-13 WORLD CLASS through people, technology and dedication
