A comprehensive "launch-to-in-orbit operations" solution
In practical terms, the partnership will offer satellite operators an end-to-end solution including:
● Launch Mission Management Services: RIDE! will leverage its digital platform and proven experience to streamline the entire launch mission process. RIDE! simplifies satellite launches by serving as a single point of access to the global launch market. Its complete Launch Mission Management solution covers everything from scouting optimal launch opportunities among a network of 35+ providers to handling logistics, insurance, export/import controls, and regulatory compliance. Backed by industry expertise and exclusive market data, RIDE! ensures operators benefit from fast, informed decisions and smooth mission execution.
● Telemetry tracking and telecommunication: Telespazio France provides a comprehensive and cost effective Mobile Telemetry solution to analyse flight trajectories and ensure continuous tracking and anomaly detection for complete analysis thanks to an eco-designed mobile asset quickly deployable anywhere in the world. Acquired telemetry data are then disseminated wherever needed thanks to a mobile autonomous telecommunication station.
● In-orbit operations: Telespazio France provides total satellite command and control supporting the entire spacecraft mission lifecycle. From pre-launch mission analysis and trajectory planning to optimize and secure orbital injection, to post-launch Space Situational Awareness (SSA) during the deployment and early operations phase, the company ensures mission safety and efficiency. Its Satellite Operation-as-a-Service model offers end-to-end satellite control in all orbital regimes— from orbital positioning through to end-of-life.
This fully integrated approach gives customers a single point of contact, streamlining operations and maximizing overall mission performance.
A shared vision for a sustainable and high-performing space sector
Beyond the complementarity of their expertise, this partnership embodies a shared vision: to build a resilient, agile, and sustainable space model.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to providing concrete responses to the operational challenges of satellite operators, to facilitate both access to space and access to the space infrastructures thanks to Telespazio France’s role of trusted operator.” said Corinne Mailles, Deputy Director of Telespazio France.
“RIDE! is steadily advancing toward our vision of becoming the global gateway for satellite launch services. Every day, we work with passion and purpose to offer the most convenient, affordable, and reliable access to space worldwide.
Our partnership with Telespazio came naturally, as both companies share a strong commitment to the as-a-service model. This collaboration marks an important milestone in our expanding ecosystem of launch-related services, including "satellite-operations-as-a-service" and "SSA-as-a-service" for our satellite operator partners, as well as "Mobile Telemetry Station" for our launch provider partners.
A heartfelt thank you to Telespazio for their trust — and a special thanks to Corinne Mailles, Christele Donadini, and Jerome Hoarau for their support and collaboration.”, said Valentin BENOIT, RIDE! CEO.
