Center for the world's weather data
Svalbard is becoming the world's main place for downloading weather data from satellites.
The first antenna was built on Platafjellet near Longyearbyen in 1997. Now KSAT has 40, and the activity is increasing. "Computer downloading is providing more jobs all the time", CEO of KSAT Rolf Skatteboe (left) and responsible for the antennas, Reidar Norheim say.
