OHB Sweden

OHB Sweden is a satellite manufacturer and systems integrator headquartered in Kista. Operating as a subsidiary of the OHB Group, the firm specialises in the development and assembly of small satellites for geostationary and low Earth orbits. Its position in the value chain spans the entire lifecycle of a mission, from preliminary mission design and propulsion system integration to ground control software and orbital operations. The organisation is a significant contractor for the European Space Agency and has provided the platform for the Arctic Weather Satellite. Its portfolio includes the development of the SmallGEO platform and contributions to the Electra mission, focusing on full electric propulsion systems. The firm maintains technical partnerships with various national space agencies and commercial telecommunications operators, providing mission-specific solutions for earth observation and scientific research. Prospective partners should verify the specific heritage of the organisation’s GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) subsystems and its capacity for high-volume constellations versus bespoke scientific missions. Assessment of the current manufacturing throughput and cleanroom availability at the Kista facility is recommended for time-sensitive launches. Compliance with European export controls and specific ESA procurement standards should be confirmed.
