Telespazio VEGA Deutschland[1][2][3] is a European aerospace company, founded in 1978.[4] The company provides consulting, technology and engineering services in aerospace missions for ESOC[5] (European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt), EUMETSAT[6] (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, Darmstadt) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR).[7][8]

Telespazio VEGA Deutschland is a subsidiary of Telespazio SpA. The Telespazio group is part of the Space Business Unit within Leonardo.

Office sites

Darmstadt (Hessen)

Headquarter [9] near to the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT).

Gilching (Bavaria)

Office site in Gilching,[10] near the German Space Operations Centre [11](GSOC) in Oberpfaffenhofen/Weßling (Bavaria).

History

Telespazio VEGA Deutschland was established in 2012 when Telespazio Deutschland and VEGA Space GmbH were merged. The roots of Telespazio Deutschland may be traced back to the Thomson CSF Group (now Thales), having been active in space missions since the early 1970s. VEGA, on the other hand, had its first contract with ESOC in 1978. So Telespazio VEGA has around 40 years experience in spaceflight.
