Telespazio France: contribution to the improvement of citizens’ safety and security

We are convinced that a simple link between Man and Space is essential to our life on Earth, because Space is a key technological and human enabler to protect the planet and its inhabitants. We have faith in Humankind and diversity, we believe in technology and skills development. We act on the basis of our founding values of Commitment, Innovation and Partnership.

Thanks to our historical legitimacy, our global expertise and our European dimension, we put the strength of two European Leaders and the agility of our human-sized structure at the service of our mission. Our ambition is to democratize the access to the space services of today and tomorrow, through an open logic of "Space On Demand". We bring together the skills and partnerships needed to provide the best solutions, in a market undergoing profound change.

Together with EENA and European Institutions, we support the development of innovative solutions for European citizens’ safety and security in close cooperation with actors from the whole operational chains:

• UCPKN Capacity building programme for the usage of space assets by Civil Protection Authorities (with DG DEFIS and DG ECHO) SUNSHINE-UCPKN
• Devolpment of Galileo EWSS receivers for fixed devices (Sirens, Digital Panels, Indoor Warning) with the EUSPA AWARE project
• Galileo Emergency Warning Satellite Service proof of concept, consolidation and demonstrations, with EC STELLAR and EC GRALLE project;
• SAR/Galileo Two Way Communication service prototype and demonstration, with the EC SERENITY project.
• Deployment of Advanced Mobile Location in Europe with EC HELP112 projects;
• Development of a system for monitoring the health of workers, which includes an emergency communication functionality based on PEMEA standards, with EC H2020 WorkingAge project;
• SBAS-based alerting capability demonstration in Sub-Saharan Africa, during the SBAS ASECNA project;

We also operate Cospas-Sarsat French Mission Control Centre, SAR/Galileo Service Centre and SAR/Galileo Service with the French space agency, CNES.

All of these efforts, all of these resources and all of these successes are enabling us to pursue our actions for the benefit of European citizens and Civil Protection Authorities, and helping to accomplish the noble mission of saving lives.

Telespazio France: general description

Telespazio is a joint venture between Leonardo (67%) and Thales (33%), two of the world’s major aerospace and defence players. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Telespazio Group, Telespazio France operates from Toulouse (headquarters), Paris, Bordeaux, and the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou.

A trusted operator for over 30 years, Telespazio France provides high-value services and satellite-based applications across all space domains: satellite operations and ground segment, telecommunications, earth observation, and navigation.

We are also actively developing our presence in new space markets such as microlaunchers, spaceports, in-orbit services, and space situational awareness.

In a rapidly evolving space ecosystem, Telespazio France positions itself as a meta-operator, facilitating user access to the most relevant space-based solutions from telecommunications to earth observation and space safety.

Thanks to our extensive experience with satellite and ground segment operations for both institutional and commercial customers, and our participation in major European programs, Telespazio delivers tailor-made, end-to-end satellite solutions.

We believe in a responsible and democratic use of space. That’s why sustainability, both in space operations and applications that improve life on Earth, is at the core of our innovation strategy.
