Telespazio Benelux will lead a European consortium, with EarthLab Luxembourg and Astro42, to deliver and operate the control centre for PROSPECT, ESA’s mission to drill for water ice and other volatile chemicals at the lunar south pole, with a drill developed and built by Leonardo.
The Board of Directors of e-GEOS, a joint venture between Telespazio (80%) and the Italian Space Agency (20%), has unanimously appointed Attorney Cristina Sgubin as Chief Executive Officer of the company. Sgubin will also be responsible for Telespazio’s Geo Information Line of Business.
The MoU builds on existing cooperation between ispace and Telespazio further expanding the areas of potential cooperation also leveraging on Leonardo space capabilities in robotics and AI applied to space exploration, strengthening Europe’s and Japan roles in the emerging cislunar economy.
The partnership will advance interoperability of lunar infrastructure and services to support global lunar exploration and explore ispace’s lunar transportation capabilities, with the European Space Agency’s Moonlight programme led by Telespazio, part of Leonardo Group, being the first opportunity to implement it.
Suppliers that wish to be candidates for becoming suppliers of Telespazio S.p.A. must access the Qualification System, answer the relevant questionnaires, and enter the data required.
The System, managed centrally by LGS for all Companies in the Leonardo Group, guarantees the utmost confidentiality and support with any difficulties when completing the forms.
Supplier Qualification Process
Self-registration: this makes you one of our Potential Suppliers, that is, Suppliers that may be invited to take part in negotiation processes with Telespazio. Once the self-registration form has been completed, the Potential Supplier will be asked to complete specific questionnaires for the goods categories covered by their candidacy. Updating of these may be requested from time to time.
Pre-qualification: becoming a pre-qualified supplier is an essential condition for taking part in negotiating processes with Telespazio. This procedure involves evaluating the ethical/legal and economic/financial requirements.
Qualification: being a qualified supplier is an essential condition for signing a contract or having a purchase order issued to your Company by Telespazio. During this process, the Supplier’s meeting of the technical/organisational requirements is assessed.
Self-registration does not guarantee business ties with Telespazio S.p.A., but merely represents a channel that can be used to become a Potential Supplier.
Candidacies for non-priority goods areas will only be analysed when Telespazio has an actual need, based on the number of suppliers already included in the List of Suppliers, or due to specific business requirements.
The Self-registration questionnaires must be completed fully and exhaustively. If any of the information requested is left out, this may result in being excluded from the List of Potential Suppliers for that category.
