Rheinmetall and Andøy Municipality Sign Agreement for Satellite Facility in Norway
Rheinmetall is establishing a satellite processing and test facility in Norway, with a letter of intent signed with Andøy municipality. This project aims to bolster Norway's defense and aerospace capabilities, contributing to increased defense funding through 2036.

Rheinmetall Nordic AS signed a letter of intent with the municipality of Andøy to develop an Integrated Process Facility at Prærien Business Park in Andenes, Norway. This facility is intended to serve as a satellite test center, supporting the emerging space and defense cluster in the region.
The agreement includes early-stage cooperation on land leasing and construction planning, with Rheinmetall responsible for technical specifications and the municipality aiding in infrastructure and administrative processes. A final investment decision is pending from Rheinmetall before full development can commence. This facility aligns with Norway's strategy to enhance its defense ecosystem, which includes a proposed increase in defense funding to reach 3.5 percent of GDP by 2035.
