Welcome to the SSBV Aerospace & Technology Group website
SSBV is a technology driven organisation, active in the domains of (aero)Space, Remote Sensing & Monitoring, Defence & Security and the development of High-Tech Systems.
Based on in-house technology, engineering, assembly and test skills, SSBV is able to provide system, subsystem and unit level solutions.
Since its establishment as Satellite Services B.V. in 1985, SSBV has evolved into a group of high-tech, SME-sized companies with operations in 6 countries.
The SSBV headquarters and a number of other operating companies are located in the SSBV building in the Space Business Park in Noordwijk aan Zee, The Netherlands, whereas the largest foreign subsidiary company (SSBV Space & Ground Systems UK) is located in Portsmouth, United Kingdom.
Within SSBV and its partnership companies, a wide range of activities are supported. These range from the provision of ground based systems for simulation, test and communication to the provision of smallsat subsystems and components. SSBV is also actively involved in the development and qualification of a unique smallsat-capable mini-SAR (radar) instrument.
The latest expansion of activities in the Defence and Security domain include the ACRIDS family of Precision Airdrop Systems and compact & low-power Synthetic Aperture Radar solutions for airborne and UAV applications.
Through internally available systems, infrastructure and experience, also remote sensing and monitoring services can be provided.
Please refer to the About section for more details.
