Kiren Rijiju – Union Minister:

Visited Svalbard Satellite Station and interacted with the Scientists of Kongsberg Satellite Services in Longyearbyen.

KSAT has the most extensive ground station network globally, and the world’s largest ground station for support of polar orbiting satellites located at 78°.

India’s Satellite Observation Station will be set up here in collaboration with KSAT.

There’s very good understanding and exchange of visits between Scientists of KSAT and ISRO.
