Original MCC in Bodø 1993


Norway

Through a competitive bidding process in 1993, the Royal Norwegian Justice Ministry selected Techno-Sciences to provide a Local User Terminal and Mission Control Center for the Tromsø Satellite Tracking Station and a Mission Control Center for the city of Bodø. The systems were installed and commissioned four months after receipt of the order.

In 2002 Norway ordered a substantial upgrade of its systems, installing a new LEOLUT, a new MCC, and a GEOLUT for the MeteoSAT Second Generation satellite.
