Signature of the Indigo contract on 16 June 2015 at the Paris Air and Space Show by Magali Vaissiere, ESA’s Director of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications, Stephen Spengler, CEO at Intelsat and Serge Van Herck, CEO at Newtec.
 
New technologies to help fully exploit the capabilities of the next generation of high-throughput telecom satellites will be developed under a public–private partnership between ESA and global satellite operator Intelsat. The Indigo project will develop new ground segment innovations that maximise the new capabilities offered by the latest Intelsat EpicNG satellites.
