A Norwegian company with millions of dollars invested in the Canadian North is weeks away from losing a major contract in the emerging space satellite industry over years of government delay. Because the Europeans can’t control which of their receiving stations the Sentinel satellite would use at any one time, KSAT can’t meet that requirement.
