Strategic value in every mission
For more than a decade, Space Inventor has built its reputation as a reliable European satellite manufacturer and a long-term partner to governments, defence organisations and national space programmes.
Founded in 2015 in Aalborg, Denmark, Space Inventor operates today as an industrially mature European satellite manufacturer, delivering advanced systems for security, surveillance and defence missions.
Proven in orbit. Trusted on Earth
Our track record speaks for itself:
From delivering the world’s smallest geostationary satellite to enabling Arctic surveillance through the BIFROST mission, our work is defined by performance under real operational conditions - not promises.
Statements
Space is an increasingly strategic domain for defence policy. This satellite launch clearly demonstrates the potential of space-based technologies to contribute to both Danish and Nordic security and defence. Denmark is highly invested in the future of the space sector, and these solutions give us the ability to monitor every corner of the Kingdom. The satellite will provide important knowledge to our armed forces. As space technologies evolve rapidly worldwide, Danish companies continue to show great innovation and ingenuity. I look forward to following this mission closely.Sovereign space capability with European foundation
Today, Space Inventor contributes directly to Europe’s strategic autonomy in space.
We are trusted to design and build Denmark’s first lunar satellite mission and to deliver platforms that support national security, territorial awareness and long-term sovereign capability.
For our government and defence partners, this means more than technology: It means industrial maturity, predictable quality and a partner engineered for the long term.
Built for surveillance. Designed for sovereignty
Space Inventor develops satellite systems specifically to support national security and defence missions through a spectrum of resilient and intelligent capabilities
- Electronic Support Measures (ESM)
Detect and geolocate radar signatures to classify cooperative, deceptive or fully dark vessels – as demonstrated in our BIFROST-2 satellite system.
- Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
High-resolution radar imaging in all weather and lighting conditions, enabling continuous situational awareness with 5–10 meter resolution in large swath mode.
- Optical & Infrared Observation
High-precision optical payloads with up to 45 cm telescopes (70 cm GSD) and optional IR payloads down to 5 meters GSD.
Together, these capabilities transform satellites into strategic assets – not just sensors.
Security fused with speed
and reliability
As an experience, vertically integrated satellite manufacturer, we bridge the gap between agility and defence-grade reliability. All core development and manufacturing takes place in-house at our Danish headquarters, giving our government and defence partners full transparency and control over every critical layer of the mission.
Make Space for Progress - in orbit and on Earth
By aligning advanced satellite engineering with the operational realities of modern defence organisations, we help governments protect territorial sovereignty, strengthen maritime domain awareness and respond faster to emerging threats.
The result is more than technical capability.
It is strategic resilience - built over time, validated in orbit, and trusted when it matters most.
Built for defence integration
Satellite capability creates real value only when it strengthens the systems already responsible for national defence.
Space Inventor designs satellite platforms to integrate directly into existing military infrastructures, command environments and intelligence workflows. Our systems are developed to support how defence organisations actually plan, operate and make decisions - not to sit apart as standalone technology in orbit.
The result is faster operational adoption, lower integration risk and sovereign space capabilities that perform where it matters most: in real-world defence operations.
Expertise across modern defence operations
Modern defence operations span multiple domains - from maritime surveillance and territorial monitoring to strategic intelligence and crisis response.
Space Inventor designs satellite systems that support this operational breadth. Our platforms enable governments to apply space-based intelligence across different mission types, agencies and command structures, delivering consistent and reliable insight where it is needed most.
By combining modular design with defence-grade reliability and in-house engineering, we help extend operational reach, improve coordination and strengthen decision-making across defence organisations.
