  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE SES Q1 OPERATING PROFIT UP 6.7% REVENUE UP 4.2% Luxembourg, 12 May 2011 – SES S.A. (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) reports financial results for the three months to 31 March 2011. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • Revenue of EUR 428.4 million (+4.2 %) Recurring1 revenue grew 3.1% to EUR 428.4 million • EBITDA of EUR 321.5 million (+3.5%) Recurring EBITDA grew 3.0% to EUR 323.8 million Recurring EBITDA margin of 75.6% • Operating profit of EUR 206.3 million (+6.7%) • Profit of the group of EUR 149.4 million (+40.1%) • Earnings per A-share rose 40.7% to EUR 0.38 (2010: EUR 0.27) • Closing net debt / EBITDA of 2.80 times Romain Bausch, President and CEO, commented: “SES’ financial results are on track, reflecting business developments in the first quarter. A number of contracts were signed for new Direct-To-Home (DTH) and broadband services in Europe, and the development of HD programming in Germany was given a boost as the German public broadcasters committed to five transponders to follow the termination of analogue broadcasting in April 2012. New capacity agreements for broadcast and broadband services in Central and Latin America were signed, and additional capacity was contracted for global maritime services. Following the commercialisation of all available DTH capacity for India, we have ordered a new satellite, SES-8, to provide additional capacity for that fast- growing market. SES has reorganised its activities under a streamlined management structure, which will optimise the execution of our growth strategy.

  • Here the Italian Space Agency ASI Holds 30% of the Shares and the Rest Is the Property of Avio Spa
    Goliat the first Romanian satellite is approaching the launch date- less than 6 months since Romania will have its first space mission At a recent press conference, Jean-Yves Le Gall the director of ArianeSpace, shared with the public the plans of the company for 2011. Like for the last year we will have a busy schedule with not less than 12 launches (double than for 2010). As before the central point will be the veteran Ariane 5 rocket, but part of the new managerial strategy, ArianeSpace will look also for the segment of medium and small launchers meeting the demands of the worldwide customers. It is hoped that some part of the operations will be transferred gradually to these niches and thus to be over passed the record set last year when approximately 60% of the world GEO telecom satellites have been launched by ArianeSpace. The perspectives are very good with another 12 additional GEO transfer contracts being signed in 2010 (about 63% from the international commercial market). The technical procedures which make sure these flights are accomplished are also at the highest standards (proved by the last 3 launches of 2010 separated by one month each i.e. October, November and December) and the Ariane 5 rocket, because of the proven reliability has became today the preferred of the commercial launches (since December 2002 when the version ECA has been put into operation and when the inaugural flight ended by loosing the 2 satellite transported onboard-Stentor and Hot Bird 7- the rocket has an impressive record of 36 successful flights).

It operates with pushbroom principle and acquires panchromatic and MS images with 7.5 m and 15 m resolutions, respectively. The swath width of the sensor is 30 km. The main aim of this study is to analyse the radiometric and geometric quality of RASAT images. A systematic validation approach for the RASAT imagery and its products is being applied. RASAT image pair acquired over Kesan city in Edirne province of Turkey are used for the investigations. The raw RASAT data (L0) are processed by Turkish Space Agency (TUBITAK-UZAY) to produce higher level image products. The image products include radiometrically processed (L1), georeferenced (L2) and orthorectified (L3) data, as well as pansharpened images. The image quality assessments include visual inspections, noise, MTF and histogram analyses. The geometric accuracy assessment results are only preliminary and the assessment is performed using the raw images. The geometric accuracy potential is investigated using 3D ground control points extracted from road intersections, which were measured manually in stereo from aerial images with 20 cm resolution and accuracy.
