Telespazio and Airbus have set up a partnership to market military telecommunications services using the future Syracuse IV satellites.

A pilot project is underway, arised from the collaboration between Ama S.p.A., e-GEOS and the Italian Space Agency, for the acquisition and analysis of images from optical satellites and from the radar satellites of the COSMO-SkyMed constellation over the city of Rome.

The Italian Space Agency (ASI) has assigned to Telespazio, a joint venture between Leonardo (67%) and Thales (33%), the management of the operations and maintenance of the ASINet network, which ensures communications among the national and international centres engaged in the space missions involving Italian participation.
