Gabriele Pieralli on SkyTG24's Countdown: 'IRIDE will play a crucial role'

Leonardo and Telespazio will once again take part in the 18th edition of the European Space Conference, scheduled to take place in Brussels on 27–28 January, together with e-GEOS.

Just days after launch, the first images are received from the third satellite of the second generation of the Earth Observation programme promoted by the Italian Space Agency and the Ministry of Defence, involving national industry with Leonardo, Thales Alenia Space, Telespazio and e-GEO

Two new first-generation Galileo satellites, numbers 33 and 34, were successfully launched today aboard an Ariane 6 launcher at 06:01 (CET) Italian time from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Galileo is Europe’s global satellite navigation system, developed by the European Union with the technical and industrial support of the European Space Agency (ESA).

On the occasion of 2025 Italian National Space Day, Leonardo, with e-GEOS (a joint venture 20% owned by the Italian Space Agency and 80% by Telespazio, Leonardo Group) and Telespazio (67% owned by Leonardo and 33% by Thales) present the eighteenth "Love Planet Earth" calendar, representing environmental sustainability through images taken by the COSMO-SkyMed satellites operated by the Italian Space Agency and the Italian Ministry of Defence.
