TRUTHS ground segment contract signature

Today at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium, ESA awarded a contract to Telespazio in the UK to develop the systems that will operate the TRUTHS satellite in orbit and process the valuable data it collects. These systems are a vital part of the mission and are being developed in parallel with the satellite and the supporting scientific research, all currently underway in the mission’s development phase. 

The contract was signed by Simonetta Cheli, ESA’s Director of Earth Observation Programmes (left), and Sarah Macken CEO of Telespazio UK.
