With support from both the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy and the Luxembourg Space Agency, this initiative is aligned with the country’s digital and space strategies and will help energize the local ecosystem.

The new entity, Thales Alenia Space in Luxembourg, will focus on the development of highly innovative digital solutions for the company’s space communications, observation and navigation products.

One of the first tasks assigned to this center will be to contribute to the development of the company’s Space Inspire product line, featuring the re-configurability of space communications missions, within the scope of the Novacom II project (as part of ESA’s program of Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems – ARTES). The new center will also be working on digital twins, digital solutions for best data preparation and exploitation on Earth observation, data valorization engines and much more.

Thales Alenia Space’s Digital Center is designed and organized in line with the model, work environment and practices already proven in Thales’ Digital Factory, dedicated to the acceleration of the digital shift of Thales and its customers.
