Problem
The increasing demand for small satellite launches requires flexible and cost-effective access to space, particularly for sun-synchronous, polar, and high inclination orbits. Traditional launch services often lack the responsiveness and tailored solutions needed by modern space-based businesses and research institutions.
Solution
SaxaVord Spaceport provides launch services and ground station facilities designed to support a variety of launch missions for rockets carrying payloads up to 1.5 tonnes. As a fully licensed vertical launch spaceport, SaxaVord offers launch site operating services, logistical support, and mission-critical ancillary services such as engineering, maintenance, and fuelling. The spaceport supports unrestricted direct trajectories from 330 to 075 degrees true, enabling launches into Sun-Synchronous, Polar and High Inclination Orbits, as well as suborbital flights. In addition to launch capabilities, SaxaVord is developing a ground station network with an array of antennas operating in UHF/VHF to S & X Band, supporting satellite operations in low earth orbit.
Target Audience
SaxaVord serves launch service providers (LSPs), satellite operators, research institutions, and space-based businesses seeking flexible, cost-effective launch solutions and ground station services.
