Norway's national receiving station for polar orbiting satellite is located at N 69.39, E 18.56.  The area covered by the station includes the entire arctic from West Greenland to the Russian Taymyr peninsula.  The Tromsoe station collects SAR data from ERS-1, ERS-2, JER-1 and Radarsat as well as AVHRR and weather data.  The center provides telemetry support for launches at the Andøya rocket range.  Of special interest: collection and distribution of oil spill information throughout the North Sea, Baltic Sea and adjoining areas in near real time.
