The forerunner of the company, the "Satellite Communication " division of DASA , was largely responsible for setting up the communication infrastructure in East Germany after German reunification . When Nortel Dasa was founded in 1995, all of DASA's ground station activities were integrated into the SatCom division at Nortel. In 1997, SatCom began developing military satellite communications in Germany.

The shareholders until mid-2006 were Augusta Technologie AG with 74.9% and SES Astra in Luxembourg. After taking over the Augusta shares at a price of 35.6 million euros, ND SatCom became a 100% subsidiary of SES Astra. In 2000, ND Satcom held a market share of over 70% in the TV sector and was the leading provider of VSAT networks.
In 2011, Astrium , a wholly owned subsidiary of EADS (now Airbus ), acquired a majority stake in ND SatCom. Initially the shareholders were Astrium (75.1%) and SES Astra (24.9%). Astrium later took over 100% of ND SatCom.
