Remembering 2025, a very good year for OHB Sweden AB On this last day of the year we can look back at a very eventful and successful year for us. These are just some of the events and achievements during 2025: - We grew the staff by 20% to 151 employees - We moved to bigger and better offices to accommodate to grow even more - We got a larger clean room to be able to industrialise assembly, integration and test activities for more satellites - Signed HummingSat contract for electric propulsion systems for six satellites - Successful first year in orbit for Arctic Weather Satellite now delivering valuable data to the weather forecasts - Attended several events and exhibitions, among them: - Small Satellite Conference - Spece Tech Expo Europe - EUMETSAT conference - Living Planet Symposium - Rymdforum - Progress and milestone achievements in many of our projects - Launch of the GARAI A satellite for Satlantis - COMET-I - PLATO - EIS - ADIS - Solar Orbiter, for which we did the propulsion system, gets “world-first views of the Suns’s poles” - Biomass, for which we also did the propulsion subsystem, launched successfully These are just a few of the accomplishments during 2025. All this would not be possible without our fantastically talented, competent and dedicated staff. Thanks to you, and thanks also to our customers, subcontractors and suppliers for a very good cooperation. We are looking forward to even more people starting with us next year, to help us build a lot more satellites and propulsion subsystems, to make 2026 an even more successful year for OHB Sweden. Happy New Year to all of you #happynewyear #ohb #ohbsweden

OHB Sweden AB is excited to be in this project together with PandionAI improving communications from satellites.
🚀 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁! PandionAI is partnering with OHB Sweden AB, funded by the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) Rymdstyrelsen in addressing the latency challenges inherent in traditional Earth Observation through the initiation of project EXODUS. By combining PandionAI's AI-driven onboard processing technology with OHB’s flight-proven InnoSat platform, we are developing a system capable of delivering autonomous, timely insights from space. This collaboration aims to verify a Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL 6) solution focusing on advanced on-board data processing. This project represents a significant advancement in strengthening capabilities regarding societal resilience, defense, and environmental monitoring.

OHB Sweden Awarded Contract by SWISSto12 for Six Electric Propulsion Systems for GEO Satellite Constellation Stockholm, Sweden, 9 December 2025 – OHB Sweden AB, today announced that it has secured a major contract from SWISSto12, one of the world’s fastest-growing aerospace companies and leading manufacturer of advanced satellite systems and radiofrequency (RF) products. Under the contract, OHB Sweden will deliver six advanced electric propulsion (EP) systems for the innovative HummingSat platform – the world’s first commercial SmallSat for geostationary orbit (GEO). This collaboration represents an important contribution that reinforces European-wide space sovereignty and strengthens the continent’s leadership and competitiveness in the global space economy. The propulsion systems will enable precise orbital maneuvers, station-keeping in GEO, relocation from one position on the geostationary arc to another, and extended mission lifetimes. This system supports SWISSto12’s mission to provide agile, cost-effective solutions for evolving telecommunications markets. With the shift from traditional broadcast services to broadband connectivity, HummingSat’s high performance and lower cost of build and launch are reshaping the landscape of the GEO market. "This contract is a milestone for us because it confirms our capabilities in the electric propulsion area and further develops our industrialization efforts," said Mr. Fredrik Sjöberg, Deputy Managing Director of OHB Sweden. "Our commitment is to deliver a full sub-system every second month, starting mid-2026. This is exactly the type of project for which our new facility has been conceived." "This program exemplifies European-wide collaboration across Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany, reinforcing European space and satellite sovereignty," said Emile de Rijk, CEO of SWISSto12. "HummingSat is the world’s first commercial SmallSat for GEO. Its high performance combined with lower cost of build and launch will transform the GEO market, enabling telecom operators and nation states to adopt new agile satellite solutions that will better connect the world." About the Partnership This contract is supported by the European Space Agency - ESA under the HummingSat Partnership Project with funding contributions from the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). This contract highlights the growing importance of European cooperation in space technology and the commitment to delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions for global connectivity. OHB Sweden’s advanced EP systems will play a critical role in ensuring the success of SWISSto12’s groundbreaking HummingSat program. #ohbsweden #ohb #swissto12 #electricpropulsion

We are happy and proud that Arctic Weather Satellite is being noticed and to work with companies like AAC Clyde Space.
📺 Häromveckan uppmärksammade SVT Uppsala vår satellit YMIR-1 och dess betydelse för sjöfarten. SVT Väst har gjort ett inslag om Arctic Weather Satellite 🛰️, där själva mätinstrumentet är utvecklat av AAC Clyde Space Göteborgsgren Omnisys tillsammans med Chalmers tekniska högskola. Se inslaget där Patrick Eriksson förklarar nyttan. Satelliten är byggd av OHB Sweden AB och har både kraftsystem och dator från Uppsalagrenen av AAC Clyde Space. Lägger länkar i kommentarsfältet. 👇 Omnisys Instruments AB Johan Riesbeck Mats Lindgren Rikard Nilsson Stefan Strålsjö Erik B. #spaceisawesome #spacetech #weather #maritime

The inauguration of the OHB Sweden AB new facility in Kista went well a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to all who participated. Now we have the signs up as well, even visible from the E4 highway. Be careful when looking though, traffic there is heavy most of the time 😉. We want you to be safe in your car, even if our sign looks fabulous when it's dark 😊. #ohb #ohbsweden
