Spanish Space Industry Spanish Space Industry
• Satellite communications and Earth Observation operators: Hispasat, Hisdesat and Deimos . 10 satellites.
• System and subsystem capabilities
• Development of Hardware and Software:– Structures and Mechanisms
– Electronics
– Ground segment
– Components
– Thermal control and propulsion
– Applications
• A wide number of companies involved in development of applications in different fields: Navigation, Telecom and earth observation
A reduced number of companies covering a wide range of technologiesTwo operators in SATCOM (HISPASAT and HISDESAT), one in Earth Observation (DEIMOS) and
two important subsidiries of the biggest european primes Astrium and Thales Alenia
