ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications reposted this
Thank you to the Thales Alenia Space team for their warm hospitality, partnership and for welcoming us to their facility. On behalf of ESA, we look forward to further collaboration! https://lnkd.in/dBj_jNrN
Delighted to host Laurent Jaffart, ESA Director of Connectivity and Secure Communications and Dr. Paul Bate, CEO of the UK Space Agency and their teams to see Space INSPIRE, Thales Alenia Space’s newest telecommunication satellite taking shape in our clean room in Thales Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Assembly, Integration and Test activities for the propulsion system is complete in readiness for shipment to our Cannes facility where it will be integrated into the satellite. About Space INSPIRE Our customers increasingly need the agility to develop advanced services and seize new business opportunities. Space INSPIRE is a digital, ultra-flexible solution that is fully reprogrammable in orbit, allowing operators to match capacity to demand anytime and anywhere, whatever the frequency band. With its software-defined technology, Space INSPIRE is a game-changer for the fast-moving communications market. The Assembly, Integration and Test activities related to the Prototype Flight Model began this summer and the final Critical Design Reviews are expected by the end of the year. The development of the product line is supported by CNES and by ESA through the ARTES Novacom II Partnership Project in which, among 10 ESA Participating States, the UK is a major contributor to the ARTES Competitiveness & Growth programme. Thanks to all the teams involved, to CNES, ESA and UKSA for their support and to our customers for putting their trust in our company.
