Competitive innovation
Spacebus Neo’s commercial success is due to the introduction of a number of key technologies coupled with a modular, off-the-shelf design, which speeds up production and contributes to a cost-effective mission.
The initiative has federated the European industry towards this next-generation satellite platform, achieving a competitive leap forward in the highly dynamic communication satellite market.
This was achieved thanks to the combined expertise and excellent collaboration of Thales Alenia Space, ESA, the French space agency CNES, Eutelsat (the customer of the first Spacebus Neo satellite) and SES (the customer of the first Spacebus Neo satellite to feature mechanically pumped loop thermal control).
