A SOLUTION for
all YOUR MISSIONS
SCALABLE PLATFORM
FOR MODULAR PAYLOADS
• From a single satellite on ground or in-orbit delivery to End
to End turnkey systems, covering both commercial and military
missions.
The Service module, separated from Communication module,
comprises basic building blocks, common to all SPACEBUS
platforms, ensuring a cost competitive architecture.
• All frequency bands available: L, S, X, C, Ku, Ka, Q/V, with
powerful regional beam architecture and/or multi-beams,
maximizing capacity/flexibility.
A flexible satellite concept for versatile missions,
with minimum adaptation to fullfil your needs.
CONTINUOUS QUALITY
IMPROVEMENT
• Step by step approach, based on flight proven heritage,
introducing gradually technical improvements while
minimizing risk.
• Lessons learned continuously integrated in the
improvement process.
• Robust quality assurance, based on internationally
recognized certifications: CMMI level 3, AQAP 2110
ISO 9001v2000, EN/AS/JISQ 9100.
• Design and performance adapted to observation missions
thanks to accurate and stable pointing.
transparenCY & VISIBILITY
As the market leader in payload manufacturing,
Thales Alenia Space can provide all types of missions.
• An empowered and dedicated Program Management team guaranties
a strong commitment to your project.
• Transparency, full accessibility are given to the Customer.
• Resident office, test results data handling allow real time monitoring.
PAYLOAD CAPACITY
Up to 14.5 kW/1000 kg
• Customer is an integral part of the project team.
SATELLITE CAPACITY
Up to 17 kW
STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY maximizing YOUR BENEFITS
• Fine satellite and antenna pointing: thanks to an attitude
control system with star-trackers and advanced antenna tracking
systems, SPACEBUS delivers high pointing accuracy, permitting
very small beams and optical payloads.
• More lifetime: with a mass efficient design, use of large
propellant tanks and/or plasmic propulsion, fully leveraging
launcher performance.
• Easy to operate, Spacebus is designed for smooth and
safe control.
• Longer autonomy: every SPACEBUS satellite can operate
without ground contact for longer periods, making it an ideal
choice for critical applications.
• Fast recovery of operational attitude from any failure: a
progressive fault recovery FDIR (Fault Detection, Isolation and
Recovery) system minimizes outages while providing full operator
visibility.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS
• Training program enabling your team to maintain
top performance and safe operations.
• LEOP monitoring via real-time video.
• In house IOT capability for all payload.
• Customized In-Orbit Support, from on-call service
to full backup, 24/7.
GLOBAL LAUNCHER
COMPATIBILITY
• Compatible with all launchers to help you make the best trade-off
among mission/schedule commitment/reliability/cost.
• Heritage on Atlas, Delta, Ariane 5, Long March, Proton, Sea Launch.
• Ready for Falcon 9, GSLV, Soyuz, Land Launch.
RELIABLE SCHEDULE
• LOW DEPENDANCE: Extensive in house manufacturing,
covering all platform critical units and most of the payload
units.
• NO RISK TO SUPPLY CHAIN: Long term agreements with
major manufacturers and use of same design units across
SPACEBUS line make spares available and safe margins
possible.
• OPTIMIZED FACILITY: We reduce AIT schedule and risk
by sheltering, under one roof, all structure production and
assembly/testing facilities up to shipment.
