Telespazio Germany GmbH[1] [2] [3] is a European aerospace company, founded in 1978.[4] The company provides consulting, technology and engineering services in aerospace missions for ESOC[5] (European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt), EUMETSAT[6] (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, Darmstadt) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).[7] [8]

Telespazio Germany is a subsidiary of Telespazio SpA. The Telespazio group is part of the Space Business Unit within Leonardo.

Office sites

Darmstadt (Hessen)

Headquarters [9] is near the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT).

Gilching (Bavaria)

Office site in Gilching,[10] near the German Space Operations Centre[11] (GSOC) in Oberpfaffenhofen/Weßling (Bavaria).

History

Telespazio Germany was established in 2012 when Telespazio Deutschland and VEGA Space GmbH were merged. The roots of Telespazio Deutschland may be traced back to the Thomson CSF Group (now Thales), having been active in space missions since the early 1970s. VEGA, on the other hand, had its first contract with ESOC in 1978. So Telespazio Germany has around 40 years experience in spaceflight.

Memberships

Telespazio Germany is an active member in the following associations:

Competences

Aerospace/space

Telespazio Germany supports and operates several spacecraft for ESA[56] and DLR. Aerospace is the most important segment with more than 80% sales volume.[3]

Civil aviation

Telespazio Germany works on programs with Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS) and Frankfurt Airport.[3] Up to 2013 the company led HETEREX-project.[57]

Military aviation

Development of training systems for training of pilots and technicians as cockpit procedure trainer for the CH53-GA helicopter[58] and a virtual maintenance trainer for helicopter NH90 [59] /MRH90.[60]

Applications

Development of applications for satellite-based positioning used by automatic precision guidance system in agriculture for German Agricultural Society (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft, commonly known as DLG) and John Deere[61] Also, Telespazio Germany has contributed to the project agriloc[62] through its expertise in Satellite Communication, meaning the provision of reliable connectivity to precision agriculture applications of farms and agricultural machinery in the countryside. Agriloc is a project within the ARTES 20 (Integrated Applications Promotion) programme, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Space Agency (DLR).
