Thales: signs contract for ESA satellites

(CercleFinance.com) - Thales Alenia Space has signed a contract to develop two radar instruments that will equip the tandem Earth observation satellites of the Harmony mission, the 10th in the European Space Agency's (ESA) Earth Explorer program.
Launch aboard Vega-C is scheduled for 2029.

Thales Alenia Space will lead a multi-disciplinary European industrial consortium in charge of designing, developing and validating the C-band SAR instruments, and will also be responsible for the C-band digital electronics and antenna tiles that will equip the two Harmony satellites.

Together with data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, for which Thales Alenia Space is the prime contractor, the two-satellite Harmony constellation will provide a wealth of new information on our oceans, ice, earthquakes and volcanoes, making significant contributions to climate research and risk monitoring, the group says.
