AS200693 KSAT Kongsberg Satellite Services AS
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Kongsberg Satellite Services
satellite ground-station business
The AS handle KSAT is held by Kongsberg Satellite Services AS.
What it's used for
- The space carries satellite ground station infrastructure, evidenced by the netname
TERS-TSSand the reverse DNS entrytest-dolphin.tss.no. - The network announces 256 IPv4 addresses within a single /24 prefix (192.111.33.0/24) and maintains only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small, dedicated point-to-point or stub network rather than a transit or access provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of spacecraft and launch vehicle communication services, specifically telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) data downlinked from polar orbiting satellites via KSAT's global ground station network.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is
IRT-Uninett-CERTwith netnameTERS-TSS, which differs from the AS holder KSAT, suggesting the address space is leased or managed under a separate technical registry. - KSAT is a joint venture between Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and other partners, operating a world-leading provider of communication services for spacecraft from uniquely located ground stations including Svalbard.
- The address inventory is minimal, consisting of a single /24 block, which aligns with the specific, low-bandwidth nature of satellite ground station control and telemetry links.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
