We develop the infrastructure to process what’s happening on the planet, captured from space, and put it in the right hands within minutes.

OUR MISSION

Detecting significant events on earth, delivered in time to act.

OUR VISION

Be the first to know what’s happening on the planet from space.

We believe the value of capturing information from space is about receiving high-quality information as fast as possible, rather than the sharpest image.

Founded in 2022 by satellite builders who met at NTNU and built Norway’s next generation of space capability.

The team

Tycho was founded by satellite builders who met at NTNU and have worked together for a decade. As students they started and ran a 100-member organisation building satellites from scratch. Before Tycho, the team has worked in startups, operated Norway’s government satellites, and built and operated maritime surveillance satellites.

Nine satellites in space, two more in development.

Before Tycho, the team worked in startups, operated Norway’s government satellites, and built and operated maritime monitoring research satellites. Members’ roles ranged from systems engineering, payload development, ground services, and ADCS, and they were also instrumental in the administrative work required to launch a satellite.
