Kourou Space Centre: Arianespace renews contracts with Telespazio until 2019

The final event of the “New Generation Builders – Where Ideas Meet Purpose” program took place on March 10 at the Acquario Romano. The initiative brought together 80 colleagues from across the Space Division: Leonardo, Telespazio, and e-GEOS.

Telespazio, a Leonardo Group company, is among the participants selected by NASA under the NASA’s Artemis II Orion One-Way Doppler Measurements Tracking initiative, dedicated to radio-tracking activities for the Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission of the Artemis program, which will see the Orion spacecraft perform an approximately ten-day test flight around the Moon.

Telespazio Ibérica, the Spanish subsidiary of Telespazio (a Leonardo Group company), has been awarded the €20 million contract to develop the Canary Islands satellite constellation, the first Earth observation system created by a Spanish autonomous community. The company will lead the project, build the ground segment, and manage the constellation.
