AAC Clyde Space AB has announced that the Arctic Weather Satellite has successfully captured its first images using an innovative scientific weather payload supplied by the company. These images, which show atmospheric temperature and humidity, aim to enhance short-term weather forecasts globally, especially in the Arctic. The satellite, launched on August 16 and currently being commissioned by OHB Sweden, features a cross-track scanning microwave radiometer made by AAC Omnisys. This mission, led by ESA with OHB as the prime contractor, seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of a polar-orbiting satellite constellation for improved weather forecasting. The mission is a prototype that may lead to a full constellation for more frequent measurements, surpassing the capabilities of current geostationary satellites. AAC Clyde Space specializes in small satellite technologies and services, offering data from space, turnkey space missions, and a range of space products and components.

On August 16, 2024, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS) was successfully launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California aboard the Space-X Falcon 9 Transporter-11 Mission. The satellite, which includes a scientific weather payload developed by AAC Clyde Space, has established contact with the operations team. AWS is a prototype mission aimed at demonstrating the utility of radiometric measurements to enhance weather forecasts in the Arctic and globally. The mission could lead to a full constellation of satellites for Eumetsat, providing more frequent weather data. The 125 kg satellite carries a payload capable of delivering high-resolution vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity under all weather conditions. AAC Omnisys, part of AAC Clyde Space Group, developed the payload in Gothenburg, Sweden. Additionally, AAC Clyde Space provided a high-performance STARBUCK power system and a Sirius Command and Data Handling System, both designed and built in Uppsala, Sweden. AAC Clyde Space CEO Luis Gomes highlighted the mission's potential to improve weather forecasting and climate pattern analysis, aiding in the fight against climate change. AAC Clyde Space specializes in small satellite technologies and services, aiming to become a global leader in commercial small satellites and space services. The company operates in multiple countries and is publicly traded on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market and the US OTCQX-market.

AAC Clyde Space AB has granted a US-based space solutions supplier a license to manufacture its power and data handling systems. In return, AAC Clyde Space will receive a one-time payment of MUSD 2.0 (approximately MSEK 20.4). This license replaces an existing royalty agreement. The total value of the license and outstanding royalty fees is MUSD 5.0 (approximately MSEK 52.2), due within two months.

AAC Clyde Space AB reported a 29.4% decrease in net sales for Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, with sales amounting to SEK 53.6 million. The EBITDA was SEK -16.5 million, and the total loss after tax was SEK -27.5 million. The order backlog increased to SEK 660 million. For the first half of 2024, net sales decreased by 16.6% to SEK 125 million, with an EBITDA of SEK -3.8 million. Key events in Q2 2024 included leading a consortium to develop a laser communication system, winning its first order for a 16U EPIC satellite, and receiving an order for its CubeCAT laser communication terminal. AAC Clyde Space also announced the creation of a laser satellite communications hub in the Netherlands and completed successful tests with the Ymir-1 satellite. After the reporting period, AAC Clyde Space agreed to acquire Spacemetric AB and secured an order for the Cyclops Earth observation satellite constellation. CEO Luis Gomes highlighted challenges such as supplier delays and project timing issues but expressed optimism due to a growing order backlog and new strategic contracts. The company maintains its year-end guidance for net sales between SEK 350 million and SEK 400 million and expects a positive EBITDA of 5% to 10%.

AAC Clyde Space AB has secured its first order for the Cyclops Earth observation satellite constellation through a pre-commercial agreement worth GBP 612,000 with the Scottish Government. The project, set to begin in Q3 2024 and run until Q3 2026, involves four satellites manufactured under the xSPANCION project. These satellites will provide high-resolution image data for applications such as monitoring tree health. The initiative stems from a challenge under CivTech 9, the Scottish Government's innovation program. The agreement will focus on integrating image data into Scottish Forestry's GIS and operations, with data delivery expected to start in 2025. The Cyclops constellation will feature the first 16U satellites by AAC Clyde Space and a new generation of EPIC VIEW satellites. Manufacturing of the first two satellites is in progress, with the first launch planned for the first half of 2025. Post-launch, AAC Clyde Space aims to sell data globally at lower costs. The company specializes in small satellite technologies and services, with operations in multiple countries and shares traded on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market and the US OTCQX-market.

AAC Clyde Space has agreed to acquire 100% of Spacemetric AB for approximately MSEK 16, with potential additional earn-outs up to MSEK 9, totaling a maximum of MSEK 25. This acquisition aims to enhance AAC Clyde Space's capabilities in Earth Observation image processing for analytics and AI, which will be integrated into their Cyclops constellation. The transaction includes a mix of cash and shares, with post-closing adjustments based on net working capital. The deal is subject to approval under the Swedish Protective Security Act and is expected to close in Q3 2024. The shares issued will have lock-up periods ranging from 360 to 810 days.

AAC Clyde Space AB has received its first commercial order for its CubeCAT laser communication terminal from Greek company EMTECH SPACE S.A., valued at EUR 0.6 million. The order is for the Hellenic Space Dawn mission, funded by the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance and supported by the European Space Agency (ESA). CubeCAT, developed in partnership with FSO Instruments, is designed for nano satellites and offers significant advantages over traditional radio-frequency communication, including higher transmission capabilities and enhanced security. This marks a significant milestone in the commercialization of laser communication technologies for space data transmission.
