Nov 9 (Reuters) - Thales Alenia Space, a French-Italian joint venture between Thales (TCFP.PA) and Leonardo (LDOF.MI), will invest over 100 million euros ($107.15 million) to set up a Space Smart Factory at the Tecnopolo Tiburtino hub in Rome. The project to build an all-digital factory for the production of satellites is co-funded by the Italian Space Agency through Italy's post-pandemic recovery funds, the company said in a statement on Thursday. "The facility will form part of a system of interconnected space factories in Italy, employing advanced technologies to build satellites of different sizes for various fields and applications." the note read, adding Rome's plant will be one of the largest digital and reconfigurable facilities of its kind in Europe. Thales Alenia Space is jointly controlled by Thales, with a 67% stake, and Leonardo, with the remaining 33% stake.

PARIS – Competitors or not, SpaceX continues to be willing to launch for other satellite internet companies. The agreement covers 14 launches of the Canadian venture's Lightspeed internet satellites. SpaceX has used its rockets to launch communications satellites for companies that compete directly or indirectly with its global Starlink internet network. These deals come as an Amazon shareholder alleges the company snubbed SpaceX for launch contracts of the tech giant's Kuiper internet satellites. Earlier this summer Telesat announced a swap in the manufacturer of its Lightspeed satellites, with Canadian space company MDA taking the place of French-Italian manufacturer Thales Alenia Space.

LEO satellites operate 36 times closer to Earth than traditional ones so they take less time to send and receive information, leading to better and faster broadband service even in remote areas. "It is another big step forward on our path to get Lightspeed up there," Telesat CEO Dan Goldberg told Reuters. Telesat picked Elon Musk's SpaceX because it had "the best combination of price, performance, reliability and schedule tempo," Goldberg said. Satellite constellations have sapped large amounts of the U.S. launch supply in recent years with considerably large bulk launch orders like Telesat's SpaceX contract. SpaceX aims to nearly double its annual launch rate in 2023 thanks to its growing Starlink constellation.

Shares of Canadian telecommunications satellite operator Telesat surged on Friday after the company announced it would swap suppliers for its planned Lightspeed global internet network. Canadian space company MDA will now build the Lightspeed satellites, taking the place of French-Italian manufacturer Thales Alenia Space and resulting in "total capital cost savings" of about $2 billion, Telesat announced. The company expects to begin launching the first Lightspeed satellites in mid-2026, with global service beginning once the first 156 satellites are in orbit. Telesat stock surged as much as much as 64% with heavy volume in early trading from its previous close at $8.45 a share, before slipping slightly to closer to 50%. "I'm incredibly proud of the Telesat team for their innovative work to further optimize ... resulting in dramatically reduced costs," Telesat CEO Dan Goldberg said in a release.

JAKARTA, June 19 (Reuters) - Indonesia and Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX on Monday launched the country's largest telecommunication satellite from the United States, in a $540 million project intended to link up remote corners of the archipelago to the internet. Roughly two-thirds of Indonesia's 280 million population already use the internet, but connectivity is limited in far-flung, underdeveloped eastern islands of the Southeast Asian country. The satellite will occupy the orbital slot above Indonesia's eastern Papua region. It has a throughput capacity of 150 gigabytes per second and will provide internet access to 50,000 public service points, the Indonesian government said. The project is a public-private partnership between the government and Indonesian satellite service provider PT Satelit Nusantara Tiga.

BRUSSELS, Nov 9 (Reuters) - EU countries and European Parliament lawmakers are likely to reach a deal on a 6-billion-euro ($6 billion) satellite internet system next week, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, driven by the bloc's push to cut its dependency on foreign companies and the Ukraine war. The European Commission announced the initiative to build and operate a satellite internet system in February, part of EU industry chief Thierry Breton's campaign for strategic autonomy. Officials from EU countries and EU lawmakers will meet on Nov. 17 in what is expected to be the last meeting to thrash out final details, the people said. The proposed satellite internet system could lead to the construction and launch of up to 170 low orbit satellites between 2025 and 2027. The companies active in this area include Elon Musk's SpaceX, Amazon's (AMZN.O) Kuiper Systems and British satellite company OneWeb.
Agenţia Spaţială Europeană (ESA) a încheiat vineri trei contracte de sateliţi în vederea extinderii programului său Copernicus de observare a Pământului cu Airbus Defense and Space pentru misiunea LSTM şi cu Thales Alenia Space (TAS) pentru misiunile CIMR şi CHIME, contra unei sume totale de peste 1,3 miliarde de euro, informează AFP, citează Agerpres. Cele trei misiuni aparţin programului Copernicus, în cadrul căruia şapte sateliţi Sentinel sunt deja pe orbită şi furnizează informaţii utilizate atât pentru monitorizarea schimbărilor climatice şi a poluării, precum şi pentru evaluarea pagubelor produse de catastrofe naturale. Alte două misiuni Sentinel, CO2M şi Cristal, sunt deja în desfăşurare, iar a şasea, ROSE-L, va demara în curând. CHIME (Sentinel 10) va furniza observaţii hiper-spectrale, utile pentru supravegherea solului şi a vegetaţiei. Scopul lor este de a contribui la definirea politicilor europene de gestionare a resurselor naturale, dar şi la dezvoltarea ofertelor de servicii asociate siguranţei alimentare, agriculturii şi materiilor prime.
