Horsham, PA, (January 18, 2016) – On January 1, 2016, Universal Space Network, Inc. (USN), changed its name to SSC Space U.S. Inc. The purpose of the name change is to leverage the strength and global capabilities and efficiencies of USN’s parent corporation, the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC).
In 2009, USN was purchased by SSC and continued to conduct business under the name Universal Space Network, Inc. Now is the time to take full advantage of the SSC global brand and fully leverage our constantly expanding global infrastructure and service range to serve our customers better.
This name change further demonstrates SSC’s commitment to serving the global space industry with local presence in key regions of the world.
