You still miss Belgium an Germany, but don´t care about that. I am in general more concerned about a persons attitude than a satelites altitude…

I DID NOT MENTION THIS 0.10 % OF THE INTEVENTION OF A NORWEGIAN COMPANY IN THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY INSIGNIFICANT.

HOWEVER THIS COMPANY+S PRODUCTION IS 90% WEAPON INDUSTRY. SOMETHING TO MAKE NOBEL PRICE OF PEACE NORWAY PROUD OF.

THE OTHER COUNTRY IS DENMARK. I HAVENT FOUND OTHER COUNTRIES.

AS I SAID, NORWEGIAN PARTICIPATION ( WHEN AND IF THEY DO) IN THIS KIND OF PROJECTS IS MUCH LESS THAN 1% IT IS JUST 1/10 OF 1%. WAY TOO INSIGNIFICANT…

I GUESS THAT NORWEGIAN PARTICIPATION WAS ABOUT SOME GUYS GOING THERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW WE DO THINGS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION…

To me it seems that there is only 6 of the 10 countries that have been listed by “EURO”. I would be nice if he cold give a short notice of which countries that have been left out.

IT IS AN EU CONSORTIUM MAKING THIS A REALITY…

Arianespace and SES have developed an exceptional relationship over the last two
decades. NSS-12 will be the 32nd satellite from the SES group of companies
(Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Bourse: SESG) to have opted for an Ariane launch.

THOR 6 was built by Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France, for
operator Telenor Satellite Broadcasting AS.

THIS IS NOT TOTALLY TRUE, NORWAY IS NOT LAUNCHING THE SATELLITE AS NORWAY HAS NOT THE TECHNOLOGY TO FABRICATE AND LAUNCH SATELLITES. IT IS AN EUROPEAN UNION COMPANY. THE ARIANE WHO IS DOING ALL THE JOB. NORWAY HAS ONLY PAID FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND LAUNCHING OF THE SATELLITE.

YOU WOULD ALSO BE VERY AMAZED IF YOU KNEW THAT MOST OF THE PARTS OF THE SATELLITE HAS BEEN BUILD IN SPAIN, GERMANY AND FRANCE.

TO PUT AN EXAMPLE, THAT I PAY TO SEND A PACKAGE TO CHINA DOES NOT MEAN THAT I OWN THE POST COMPANY, NOR THAT I HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SEND IT.

For its sixth launch of the year, Arianespace will orbit two direct broadcast
TV satellites: NSS-12 for the operator SES World Skies, a subsidiary of SES,
and THOR 6 for Telenor Satellite Broadcasting AS, a subsidiary of the
Norwegian mobile operator, Telenor.
The choice of Arianespace by leading space communications operators and
manufacturers is clear international recognition of the company’s excellence in
launch services.
Ariane 5 is the only commercial satellite launcher now on the market capable of
simultaneously launching two payloads.

ARIANE IS A COMMERCIAL COMPANY BASED IN EU, USING EU SPACIAL INSTALLATIONS AND EU TECHNOLOGY.

THIS NEW HERE IS PRESENTED AS IF NORWAY ITSELF HAD THE TECHNOLOGY TO DO SUCH THINGS…

REMEMBER THAT IT IS EU THE ONE MAKING HUGE BUSINESS BY SELLING OUR TECHNOLOGY TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE UNDEVELOPED IN THAT WAY, NAME IT NORWAY, ETC…
