Thales Alenia Space and Airbus Defence and Space are partnering to design and build two Sentinel-1 Next Generation satellites to enhance digital infrastructure for global environmental monitoring.

The project focuses on ultra-stable optical telescope systems for ESA’s gravitational wave observatory mission scheduled for launch in 2035.

Hellas Sat, CNES, Thales Alenia Space and Safran cooperate to deploy a laser-based satellite and ground optical communications system for Hellas Sat 5.

Thales Alenia Space and OHB collaborate on propulsion and spacecraft systems for ESA’s space-based gravitational wave observatory.

New contracts define system integration, propulsion, data handling, and GNC responsibilities for the Lunar Descent Element to support Europe’s future Moon missions.

Thales Alenia Space’s Poseidon-4 altimeter enables sub-centimeter, 10-day ocean topography measurements to support climate modelling and coastal risk assessment.

Equipped with C-band SAR, AIS payload, and innovative debris-reducing technology, Sentinel-1D captures high-resolution Earth data for environmental monitoring, disaster response, and maritime safety.

New Rome-based smart factory boosts Italy’s satellite production to over 100 units annually, integrating robotics, Industry 4.0, and modular cleanrooms.

Lunar exploration will benefit from Thales Alenia Space Italy’s cutting-edge technology, expertise and long experience in space exploration, space transportation systems and orbital infrastructures.

MicroCarb, orbiting at 650 km, precedes the EU’s CO2M mission, delivering key data on human-induced CO₂ and methane with Thales Alenia Space’s advanced payloads.
