dbpprop:abstract
  • Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, or SSTL, is a spin-off company of the University of Surrey, now fully owned by EADS Astrium, that builds and operates small satellites. Its satellites began as amateur radio satellites known by the UoSAT (University of Surrey SATELLITE) name or by an OSCAR (Orbital Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio) designation. SSTL cooperates with the University's Surrey Space Centre, which does research into satellite and space topics. Recently SSTL has moved into remote sensing services with the launch of the Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) and an associated child company, DMC International Imaging. SSTL also adopted the Internet Protocol for the DMC satellites it builds and operates, migrating from use of the AX.25 protocol popular in amateur radio. The CLEO Cisco router in Low Earth Orbit, onboard the UK-DMC satellite along with a network of payloads, takes advantage of this adoption of the Internet Protocol. The UK-DMC satellite also carries a payload investigating GPS reflectometry. SSTL is also developing a new Geostationary Minisatellite Platform-Transfer orbit variant (GMP-T) aimed at the telecommunications market under the brand name SSTL-900. SSTL works with the British National Space Centre (BNSC) and takes on a number of tasks for the BNSC that would be done in-house by a traditional large government space agency. The University sold a 10% share of SSTL to SpaceX in January 2005. It then agreed to sell its majority share (roughly 80% of the capital) to EADS Astrium in April 2008. In August 2008 SSTL opened a US subsidiary. SSTL was awarded the Queen's Award for Technological Achievement in 1998, and the Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2005. In 2006 SSTL won the Times Higher Education Supplement award for outstanding contribution to innovation and technology. In 2009 SSTL ranked 89 out of the 997 companies that took part in the Sunday Times Top 100 companies to work for.
  • Die Firma Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) in Guildford baut Kleinsatelliten. Sie wurde 1985 gegründet, um Ergebnisse zur Satellitenforschung der University of Surrey, die auch 80 % des Unternehmens hält, kommerziell zu vermarkten. Unter anderem entwickelte sie für Galileo den Testsatelliten Giove-A, der am 28. Dezember 2005 ins All geschossen wurde. Surrey beschäftigt ca. 240 Mitarbeiter und hat einen Umsatz von ca. 35 Mio. EUR. Das bekannteste Produkt ist die von mehreren Staaten gemeinsam betriebene Disaster Monitoring Constellation, ein Verbund von Erdbeobachtungssatelliten.
