Alcatel Alenia Space

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alcatel Alenia Space was established on July 1 2005 by the merger of Alcatel Space and Alenia Spazio and is owned by Alcatel-Lucent (67%) and Finmeccanica (33%). The company is Europe's largest satellite manufacturer.

The creation of the company was concurrent with the creation of Telespazio Holding. This too was a merger of Finmeccanica and Alcatel businesses (Telespazio and Alcatel's Space Services and Operations respectively).

On April 5 2006 Alcatel agreed to sell its share of Alcatel Alenia Space (and its 33% share of Telespazio) to Thales Group. [1]
