  • Ariane-DP GB VA209 ASTRA 2F & GSAT-10.Indd
    A DUAL LAUNCH FOR DIRECT BROADCAST AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES Arianespace will orbit two satellites on its fifth Ariane 5 launch of the year: ASTRA 2F, which mainly provides direct-to-home (DTH) broadcast services for the Luxembourg-based operator SES, and the GSAT-10 communications satellite for the Indian Space Research Organization, ISRO. The choice of Arianespace by the world’s leading space communications operators and manufacturers is clear international recognition of the company’s excellence in launch services. Based on its proven reliability and availability, Arianespace continues to confirm its position as the world’s benchmark launch system. Ariane 5 is the only commercial satellite launcher now on the market capable of simultaneously launching two payloads and handling a complete range of missions, from launches of commercial satellites into geostationary orbit, to dedicated launches into special orbits. Arianespace and SES have developed an exceptional relationship of mutual trust over more than 20 years. ASTRA 2F will be the 36th satellite from the SES group (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Bourse: SESG) to use an Ariane launcher. SES operates the leading direct-to-home (DTH) TV broadcast system in Europe, based on its Astra satellites, serving more than 135 million households via DTH and cable networks. Built by Astrium using a Eurostar E3000 platform, ASTRA 2F will weigh 6,000 kg at launch. Fitted with active Ku- and Ka-band transponders, ASTRA 2F will be positioned at 28.2 degrees East. It will deliver new-generation DTH TV broadcast services to Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and offers a design life of about 15 years.

  • The Merger Between EADS BEA SYSTEMS
    Research Network on Innovation Réseau de Recherche sur l’Innovation WORKING PAPERS DOCUMENTS DE TRAVAIL N°33 / 2013 MERGERS FAILURE IN THE EUROPEAN DEFENCE TECHNOLOGICAL AND INDUSTRIAL BASE. THE CASE OF EADS / BAE SYSTEMS Pierre BARBAROUX Blandine LAPERCHE 1 MERGERS FAILURE IN THE EUROPEAN DEFENCE TECHNOLOGICAL AND INDUSTRIAL BASE. THE CASE OF EADS / BAE SYSTEMS Pierre BARBAROUX1 Blandine LAPERCHE2 Summary: This paper deals with the project of a merger between BAE systems and EADS, announced in September 2012 and finally cancelled one month later. It investigates the rationale of the merger project and the reasons that explain its collapse. Our first aim is to assess the importance - usually put forward in the literature - of the pre-merger phase in the success or the failure of a merger project. Our second aim is to put forward the specificities of mergers when defence firms are involved. Using a single case study methodology, we show that the economic rationality of the project was based on industrial complementaries, economic synergies and personal motives. We then investigate the many political divergences, specific to the defence industry, that emerged during the pre merger phase. Finally, considering the economic and political stakes, we suggest the merger project appeared as too big to succeed.

  • Airbus Wins European Space Agency TRUTHS Mission Study for Metrological Traceability of Earth Observation Data
    Airbus wins European Space Agency TRUTHS mission study for metrological traceability of Earth observation data TRUTHS to provide benchmark of Earth’s Radiation budget by consistent calibration traced to a metrological reference Consistent calibration will also enhance existing satellite missions @AirbusSpace @ESA_EO #SpaceMatters #satellite Stevenage, 3 November 2020 – Airbus has been awarded the lead in the European Space Agency (ESA) contract for the TRUTHS A/B1 (System feasibility Studies and Pre- Developments) as part of ESA’s Earth Observation Earth Watch programme. The TRUTHS satellite mission will collect measurements of the Sun radiation and of the sunlight reflected off Earth's surface traced to an absolute metrological reference, which will then be used to improve the climatological data sets and calibrate the observations of other satellites. This space-based climate and calibration observing system will enable data from other satellites to be compared more easily providing greater standards of data harmonisation for even more accurate climate change forecasts. TRUTHS stands for Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial and Helio Studies. The study will define the TRUTHS mission system implementation concept as well as focus on the preparation of critical technologies ahead of implementation of the mission in 2023. TRUTHS will carry a Cryogenic Solar Absolute Radiometer (CSAR) to provide a primary calibration standard in order to benchmark measurements of both incoming solar radiation and outgoing reflected radiation - measured with a Hyperspectral Imaging Sensor (HIS) also part of the payload - with unprecedented accuracy. These measurements will give the ability to estimate radiative imbalance underlying climate change and, importantly, in a shorter time than is currently possible.

    Press release SES: ASTRA 5B SATELLITE LAUNCH SUCCESS ON ARIANE 5 ASTRA 5B will offer state-of-the-art capacity for CEE, Russia and CIS from 31.5 degrees East/ Satellite also carries SES’s second EGNOS hosted payload for the European Commission Luxembourg, 22 March 2014 – SES S.A. (NYSE Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) announces that the ASTRA 5B satellite was successfully orbited by an Ariane 5 rocket from the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guyana, at 19:05 local time on March 21 st , 2014 (23:05 CET; 18.05 EDT). ASTRA 5B was built by Airbus Defence and Space Systems in Toulouse, France, based on the highly reliable Eurostar E3000 platform. The satellite will be located at the orbital position of 31.5 degrees East and is equipped with 40 Ku-band transponders (36 MHz equivalent) as well as 6 Ka- band transponders. ASTRA 5B will extend SES’s transponder capacity and geographical reach over Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States for DTH, direct-to-cable and contribution feeds to digital terrestrial television networks. The spacecraft also carries the second SES hosted L-band payload for the European Commission’s European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). EGNOS helps to verify, improve and report on the reliability and accuracy of positioning signals in Europe. ASTRA 5B had a launch mass of 5724 kilograms, and will have a wingspan of 40m once its solar arrays are deployed in orbit, and a spacecraft power of 13kW at the end of its 15-year design lifetime.
