2 Kongsberg Satellite Services, KSAT! Established in 1967 (as the Tromsø Telemetry station)! Kongsberg Satellite Services since 2002! World leading commercial satellite center! Providing services based on data received from polar orbiting satellites! Global operator of ground network for satellite operation and control! Leading and unbiased provider of multi-mission, near-real time services! Supporting 100+ satellite missions

3 KSAT Lite - Background! Satellite industry has been changing rapidly in recent years! Triggered by technology advances, emerging commercial applica8ons, reduced governmental budgets and new spacefaring na8ons Accelerated move towards low cost space systems And consequently, low cost ground systems February 19, 2016 WORLD CLASS through people, technology and dedication 3

4 KSAT Lite - Requirements! Through talking to a large number of cubesat / smallsat players, the following top level requirements were iden8fied:! Substan8ally reduced opera8onal cost! Low ini8al investment! Good up8me through high quality antenna systems and professional maintenance! Flexibility on opera8onal requirements for antenna availability! Flexible solu8ons for pass selec8on and priority alloca8on! Lower RF performance on satellite to be compensated on the ground February 19, 2016 WORLD CLASS through people, technology and dedication Page 4

5 KSAT Lite Overall Concept! Substan8ally reduced opera8onal cost! Small antennas (with lower RF performance)! Automated opera8ons and pass booking! Standardized capabili8es and interface! Low ini8al investment! KSAT owns and operates antennas! Mul8-mission usage! U8lizing exis8ng KSAT infrastructure! Opera8onal considera8ons! Standardized SLA with varying degree of priority access! Mul8-mission, mul8-customer on antennas! Backup through antenna pool consept! High quality equipment and maintenance! Flexible pass booking! Web based antenna pass scheduler! Opens for machine-to-machine scheduling February 19, 2016 WORLD CLASS through people, technology and dedication Page 5

6 KSAT Lite - GS Concepts! The Local Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approach! Operator purchase, install and operate a low-cost antenna, oten at operators loca8on! The Global Do-It-Yourself approach! Operators purchases, installs and operates several antennas at mul8ple global loca8ons! The Service Provider approach! Operator buys capacity on an exis8ng ground sta8on network, where the antennas are owned, operated and maintained by the service provider. Local DIY Global DIY Service Provider Ini8al investment Medium High None # visible passes Low Medium High High Maintenance cost Medium KSAT Lite will make High this approach affordable None Backup capability Addi8onal investment Addi8onal investment Integrated Financial risk Medium High Low Service fee, pass price None None Tradi8onally high February 19, 2016 WORLD CLASS through people, technology and dedication Page 6
