Telespazio is one of the world’s leading operators for launch and early orbit phase as well as in orbit control for satellites and satellite fleets throughout their operating life.

Telespazio’s highly skilled staff, with their strong and internationally recognised know-how, operate via the company’s own space centres in Italy, as well as through a customer infrastructure: at the Broglio Space Center in Malindi (Kenya); the Kourou launch site (French Guiana); the Malargue station (Argentina); the military sites at Vigna di Valle and Pratica di Mare (Italy), and Creil and Maysons-Lafitte (France).

In Italy in particular, the company can count on the “Piero Fanti” Space Centre at Fucino, in Abruzzo – in operation since 1963 with over 170 operational antennas covering an area of 370,000 square metres – the Lario Space Centre in Lombardy, and the Scanzano Space Centre in Sicily.

Particularly in its space centres, Telespazio provides LEOP, TT&C and IOT services, as well as in-orbit operational management. It also provides operation and maintenance services for complex terrestrial systems with LEO, MEO and GEO orbital profiles such as COSMO-SkyMed, Galileo and SICRAL.
These services are provided to major international satellite operators, space agencies as well as Italian and French defence administrations.
Finally, Telespazio operates digital satellite platforms for television broadcasting and telecommunications.
