SSC facilitates the access to space by providing technology and services both for scientific purposes and for the infrastructure of our daily lives.
Space technology is essential in climate and environmental research. It is used for earth observation and surveillance of natural resources, monitoring of emergency areas and for the direct benefits of the public in terms of weather forecasts and TV broadcasting.
Products and services that make a difference
During 2010, SSC contributed to science and climate research in various ways. The verification of a green space propulsion system and the continued operations of the Odin climate research satellite are two excellent examples.
Operations and control services have been provided to numerous scientific satellite missions.
Several atmospheric research balloons and scientific rockets were launched from Esrange Space Center and we could also contribute in the clean-up efforts of the disastrous Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Consideration inside and out
The basis of success, as well as environmental and social responsibility, starts from within. SSC's policies are clear about healthy and safe work environments, equality and terms of employment.
During 2010, we actively strived to decrease travel to reduce the environmental impact. We restructured our sales organisation, streamlined our working methods and tried to find new technical solutions for long distance meetings. An employee survey, including all SSC companies, was carried out.
Reliable and responsible
SSC aims at providing increased value to customers, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders. This is achieved by profitable marketing of products and services on the national and international markets.
SSC is a reliable and responsible company, committed to delivering high quality and maintaining a high level of ethics. Marketing and sales must be conducted in a professional and earnest manner, based on quality, performance, price and service level.
SSC complies with all competition legislation and export control directives of the countries in which we operate. In certain business areas, we depend on information and products that are subject to other countries' export control directives. Commitments to suppliers and their local authorities are always carefully complied with.
SSC's prosperity is partly based on good community relations. To maintain mutual trust, SSC provides regular company updates to politicians and other decision makers.
