Satellite
Satellite is a transdisciplinary research institute in Svalbard facilitating & hosting projects in science, art, and technology exploration.
Its objective is to extend practices of knowledge production, and dissemination, to deepen understanding of Arctic systems and environmental changes.
About Satellite
We facilitate programming for developing research for the Arctic context.
We provide a base in Svalbard, guiding and logistics support for field expeditions. Our Institute invites individuals and groups working across a broad spectrum of research disciplines and practices. Through our joint science, art, and technology framework, we foster collaboration and research partnerships across fields spanning from human experience, to remote sensing, to space analogs, to artificial intelligence, and everything in between.
About Svalbard
Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic ocean, mid-way between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Its unique location and accessibility have made it an international base for research. Svalbard has a cold Arctic climate, with glaciers covering around 60% of the land, and barren rock or tundra terrain. Situated north of the Arctic circle, Svalbard is light 24 hours per day from April to August, and dark 24 hours per day from November to January. Due to its temperature rising dangerously fast, Svalbard is an important center for environmental monitoring and studying climate change.
