Svalbard Satellite Station (SvalSat) is the biggest ground station in the world. It is located at 78°N , just south of the North Pole. The extreme northern location on the Svalbard archipelago, gives SvalSat its unique and favourable position: the satellite coverage at this latitude holds unique opportunities and SvalSat is the only ground station in the world able to provide all-orbit-support and it plays a crucial role in supporting research on climate change.
