OHB-System AG and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL) have signed a contract to jointly bid for the 28 satellites needed for the European Satellite Navigation System Galileo. OHB will act as the prime contractor and supply the satellite platforms, while SSTL will supply the payloads and work with OHB to form the satellite core team. The companies will perform satellite assembly, integration and testing at OHB in Germany. The Galileo system is scheduled to become operational in 2013.

The Galileo programme is a collaboration of the European Union with ESA to improve the technological independence of Europe and establish international standards for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Telespazio plays a leading role in the development of the programme, having built, at the Fucino Space Centre, one of the Galileo Control Centre (GCC), which will manage the programme’s constellation and mission.
Galileo is Europe’s programme for a global navigation satellite system, providing a highly
accurate, guaranteed global positioning service, interoperable with the US GPS and Russian
Glonass systems. It consists of 30 satellites and ground infrastructure.

Discover why Capella has been chosen by CT Ingenierie and its partners, and how it has been deployed for guaranteeing the correct coordination between teams, requirement following, and for a rigorous description of the sub-systems developed by their partners.
CT Ingenierie is involved in the ENVOL project (European Newspace Vertical Orbital Launcher). Developing a small launch vehicle enabling cheap, frequent, and flexible access to the Low Earth Orbit.
What is project ENVOL?
The EU-funded ENVOL project intends to establish the first European commercial, competitive and green launch service.
The project will designate an innovative and industrial low-cost launch system, then demonstrate and advance crucial launcher technologies to guarantee market preparedness and competitiveness, then prepare a business plan and identify the institutions able to attract investments.
