Founded in 1961, Telespazio was one of the very first players in the space conquest. The live broadcast of Man's first steps on the moon in 1969, and the first Ariane launch in 1979, perfectly illustrate Telespazio's confidence in technology.
Nearly six decades of research, innovation, technological breakthroughs and space exploration have forged our strong conviction that space should be within everyone's reach.
Bringing together two global leaders in the space industry - Leonardo and Thales - the Telespazio Group is where the entire DNA of "made in Europe" space expertise is found.

Now the European leader in value-added satellite-based space services, Telespazio France, the Group's French subsidiary, is present on the major space markets: telecommunications, Earth observation, navigation, satellite operations, etc.
And because we have joined forces with Thales Alenia Space to form the Space Alliance, we also have the full space value chain covered
