Arctic Ocean Surveillance (AOS) is an initiative by the Norwegian Space Agency (NOSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop satellites for strengthening Norway's maritime monitoring in the Arctic.[1] It is part of the Arctic Surveillance Programme (ASP) established by the Norwegian Coastal Administration, Armed Forces, Defence Research Institute, and Space Centre in 2023.[2] Its goals are to monitor illegal fishing, support search and rescue operations, and conduct maritime surveillance in remote areas.[2]

The development of the first two satellites, the Arctic Ocean Surveillance Demo (AOS-D) and the Arctic Ocean Surveillance Precursor (AOS-P), is supported through the ESA's optional General Support Technology Programme (GSTP).[3] AOS-D and AOS-P are expected to launch on a Spectrum rocket, developed by the German company Isar Aerospace, from the Andøya Spaceport in Norway in 2028.[4][2][5][6] AOS-D is being built by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace[7][8][9] and AOS-P by EIDEL.[10][11]
