Techmex and AMW to run satellite control center

This step envisages the creation of a Regional Operation Center (ROC) to manage satellites, the first such center to be opened in Poland. It will cost $13.5 million and will allow acquiring, processing and publishing of satellite pictures from IKONOS, Radarsat and IRS, which would be offered for sale to the public and private sectors. The Center will be operated by a company which will be majority owned by Techmex, with the minority stake held by the Military Property Agency (AMW). Techmex has annual revenues of zł.500 million coming from the IT sector, as well as systems for Earth-to-satellite information links. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B5)
