TRANSCRIPT
Telespazio, a joint venture between Finmeccanica (67%) and Thales (33%), is one of the
world’s leading players in satellite services. The Rome-based company has around 2000
staff, a network of four space centres and 25 sites spread all over the world. These notably
include the Fucino Space Centre, which has more than 100 operational antennas and is the
largest satellite telecommunications centre for commercial use in the world. Telespazio also
operates a fleet of mobile units in Italy and abroad.
Telespazio is a leading company in sectors that are becoming increasingly important for
institutions, companies and the public: satellite operation, Earth observation, satellite navi-
gation and localisation, integrated telecommunications and scientific programmes. In all
these activities, Telespazio can draw on its excellent experience at the highest level, born
out of the technological expertise it has acquired in almost 50 years of activity, the infra-
structure it manages and its involvement in important space programmes, such as Galileo,
EGNOS, GMES, COSMO-SkyMed, SICRAL and Göktürk.
Telespazio can count on numerous subsidiaries worldwide. Specifically, it is present in
France with Telespazio France, Fileas and associate company Novacom, in Germany with
Telespazio Deutschland and GAF, in Spain with Aurensis, in Hungary with Telespazio Hungary
and in Romania with Rartel. Telespazio has consolidated its presence in South America with
Telespazio Brasil and Telespazio Argentina. It operates in the US via Telespazio North
America. In Italy, its main subsidiary is e-GEOS, a company created in partnership with the
Italian Space Agency.
Telespazio responds to new demands in the satellite services market by producing
innovative ideas and new solutions, and is involved in various international projects. Today,
more than ever, the company is a true innovator, transforming what were once just possibilities
into real services available to an ever larger public.

SATELLITEOPERATIONS
INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS
Telespazio plays a leading role in the main international Earth
observation programmes. These include GMES, the European
programme that will provide monitoring services for territorial
security and defence, and COSMO-SkyMed, the Italian Space
Agency and Ministry of Defence programme based on a
constellation of four radar satellites that can operate in any
atmospheric conditions. Telespazio will also provide as prime
contractor the Göktürk satellite system for the Turkish Ministry
of Defence, consisting of a high-resolution optical satellite, the
ground segment, the launch service and a satellite assembly,
integration and test center.
Through Italian subsidiary e-GEOS, with Aurensis in Spain and
GAF in Germany, Telespazio carries out all activities relating to
the Earth observation market, from gathering and processing
satellite data to developing and selling software and products.
It provides services to public institutions and companies for the
study and control of land, civil protection, the prevention and
management of natural risks, cartography and agricultural
applications. e-GEOS is a leading international operator, with an
integrated range of application solutions and value-added
services, based on radar and very high resolution optical data.
The eyes to watch the Earth,the tools to protect it.
Providing safe pointsof reference for the Earth.
Telespazio is Finmeccanica’s key operator in satellite navigation
and localisation services, a role confirmed by its participation
in EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System)
and Galileo, the European satellite navigation programme that
will see the launch of 30 satellites.
One of the two control centres that will manage this constellation
has been built at the Fucino Space Centre. Telespazio also
supplied the launch services from Fucino, and is currently taking
part in the GIOVE-B mission, developed by ESA for the in-orbit
validation (IOV) of the technological solutions that will be used
on board the Galileo satellites.
Furthermore, the company will supply the in-orbit operational
and integrated logistics services for the IOV phase of the Galileo
programme, when the first four operational satellites of the
constellation are launched. Telespazio is helping to create
the Galileo Test Range in Rome – the technological infrastructure
that will support the Galileo system, applications and equipment
– and is co-ordinating the development of initiatives
and experimental projects at European level in the field
of aerial navigation and monitoring services for hazardous
goods tracking and tracing.
EARTH OBSERVATION
NAVIGATION AND MOBILE INFORMATION
Telespazio, which in 2009 incorporated the MARS Center
in Naples, carries out experiments on board the International
Space Station (ISS), ranging from the integration of payloads to
their in-orbit operation, astronaut training and the dissemination
of the scientific data obtained. In this last regard, Telespazio
aims to broaden its expertise by taking part in the European
Union’s scientific and technological research project ULISSE,
whose objective is to assimilate data from the ISS with that from
other microgravity missions. The experiments carried out on the
manned platforms have proved useful for Telespazio in the field
of scientific missions and exploration, especially in the Lunar
and Mars exploration programmes promoted by the European
Space Agency (ESA) and Italian Space Agency (ASI). Finally,
the company plays an active role both in research for direct
exploration missions to NEOs (near-Earth objects), small
celestial bodies at risk of colliding with the Earth, and ESA’s
Space Situational Awareness programme.
Telespazio plays a strategic role in military satellite
communications (Milsatcom) through its participation, as key
partner to the Italian Ministry of Defence, in the SICRAL
programme, a system that ensures interoperability between
defence, law and order and civil emergency agencies, and those
responsible for the management of strategic infrastructure.
For SICRAL 1, the first Italian satellite for military
communications, Telespazio managed the launch and early orbit
phase (LEOP), as well as the design, integration and testing
phases of the ground segment. The success of this mission
prompted the Ministry of Defence to promote new initiatives
financed by public-private partnerships. The new SICRAL 1B
satellite, launched in April 2009, was co-financed by Telespazio,
which will have therefore access to some of the transmission
capacity, allowing the company to offer communications services
to NATO countries and the European and US defence markets.
Telespazio takes part in the SICRAL 2 programme of the Italian
Defence Ministry and the ATHENA-FIDUS programme of ASI
and CNES through similar forms of public-private co-financing.
Explore the future to innovate and learn.
The best defence is communication.
