History editar

Telespazio was founded in 1961. The company became a Franco-Italian joint venture on 1 July 2005, through a merger between Telespazio and the space services division of Alcatel.[5] Creation of the joint venture was concurrent with the creation of Alcatel Alenia Space (now Thales Alenia Space), formed by the merger of two other Alcatel and Finmeccanica (since 2016 rebranded Leonardo-Finmeccanica) space businesses (Alcatel Space and Alenia Spazio respectively).[6]

In 2007, the European Commission approves the transfer to Thales of Alcatel's interests in joint ventures Alcatel Alenia Space (Thales: 67%; Finmeccanica: 33%) and Telespazio (Finmeccanica: 67%; Thales: 33%). This creates the new Space Alliance between Thales and Finmeccanica.[7]

In January 2011, Telespazio acquired the space activities of two Finmeccanica subsidiares, the Italy-based Elsag Datamat Space and the UK-based VEGA, for an undisclosed price.[8][9] VEGA was subsequently renamed Telespazio VEGA UK.

On 20 September 2011, a strike at the company led to a delay in the launch of Ariane 5.[4]
