ENGINEERS AT AIRBUS DEFENCE
AND SPACE ARE PIONEERING
THE USE OF ALL-ELECTRIC
PROPULSION FOR LARGE
SATELLITES TO PROVIDE
OPERATORS WITH EVER
MORE EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS.
In 2014, the Division achieved significant
success in this emerging market segment,
with notable telecommunications contract
wins from key global satellite operators,
SES and Eutelsat.
By using electric propulsion for initial orbit
raising, the satellites' mass is reduced,
meaning they can be launched at lower cost
and there is more space available to add
additional capabilities.
