PRODUCTS & SERVICES
Building on the legacy inspired by Thales Digital Factory, Thales Alenia Space Luxembourg develops state-of-the-art digital solutions for all space domains. We leverage big data, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity technologies to address complex end-to-end systems’ challenges, while fostering UI/UX excellence.
Our activities include end-user driven design and co-engineering with customers, experimentation of technologies and concepts, minimum viable products development, design and industrial development of key digital building blocks of space systems, rollout and operations of as-a service solutions. We also act as a trusted partner to assemble and industrialize complex digital systems involving multiple contributors (Start-ups, SMEs, academics, research centres).
Our technical expertise covers cloud-native solutions, complex distributed data architectures, data science (including complex algorithms, AI, machine learning), cybersecurity, and advanced visualisation engines.
Our product portfolio encompasses secured Digital Platforms (EO Platforms, SaaS Platforms), Digital Twin of the Earth Components (for flooding, agriculture, regional climate change impacts, etc), a 3D Data Visualization globe (Orthoglobe), data fusion engines for multiple EO sensor (hyperspectral, optical, radar) analytics, an Edge Computing PaaS proof of concept. Solutions are designed for and applicable to Defense and civil use cases.
TECHNICAL MEANS
Our development environment is cloud-native.
We are developing in Luxembourg a digital environment and facilities compatible with sovereign Defense projects.
A joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth observation, environmental management, exploration, science, and orbital infrastructures. Thanks to the unique diversity of our talents and know-how, our customers — governments, institutions, space agencies, telecom operators — use space to connect, secure and defend, observe and protect, explore, travel, and navigate. Thales Alenia Space and Telespazio team up to form the Space Alliance, which offers a complete range of solutions, including services.
MAIN CUSTOMERS
Thales Alenia Space Luxembourg serves a broad customer base, including governments, Defense, institutions, and private industries in Luxembourg, Europe, and worldwide through Thales Alenia Space’s global business lines export offers.
