Under the agreement, Terma will deliver Power Conditioning and Distribution Units for the spacecraft together with six specialized ground test systems that verify performance and readiness before launch. ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/06/esa-signs-lisa-space-antenna-mission-agreement-at-paris-air-show/ Wed, 18 Jun 2025 06:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=65861 ESA and OHB System AG have sealed their agreement to build ESA's Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, LISA. LISA will capture gravitational waves of lower frequencies than is possible from Earth, uncovering events of a different scale – all the way back to the dawn of time. ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/02/esa-contracts-ohb-system-led-consortium-for-optical-satnav/ Wed, 12 Feb 2025 07:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=63845 OHB System AG has signed a contract with ESA for the next phase of the OpSTAR project (Optical Synchronized Time And Ranging). The project aims to investigate the potential of optical technologies for use in satellite navigation. A preliminary study of the same name (Phase 0) was recently completed successfully. ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/12/german-sarah-military-satellites-launch-into-orbit/ Thu, 28 Dec 2023 07:00:50 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=52978 OHB System AG has successfully launched two reflector satellites of the SARah reconnaissance system from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launchpad SLC-4E at 14:11 CET and deployed its two passengers in space on schedule after a flight time of 25 minutes. Shortly afterwards, the operators received signals from the two satellites, kicking off the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP). ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2020/08/galileo-next-gen-satellites-on-the-horizon/ Tue, 18 Aug 2020 05:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=25228&preview=true&preview_id=25228 Following the European Commission’s decision to accelerate development of Galileo Next Generation, ESA has asked European satellite manufacturers to submit bids for the first batch of the Galileo Second Generation (G2) satellites. The new spacecraft are expected to be launched in about four years.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2020/01/germanys-ohb-system-ag-appoints-chiara-pedersoli-to-management-board/ Tue, 21 Jan 2020 06:00:36 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=18707 The Supervisory Board of the German space technology company OHB System AG, a subsidiary of OHB SE, has appointed Chiara Pedersoli to the company’s Management Board effective 1 January 2020]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/08/edrs-c-successfully-launched/ Fri, 16 Aug 2019 05:00:59 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=15612 The second satellite to join the constellation that forms the European Data Relay System (EDRS) was launched by Arianespace on 06 August, 21:30 CEST (19:30 UTC).  The satellite was launched onboard an Ariane 5, together with a second passenger, Intelsat 39, from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/08/arianespace-successfully-launches-esa-and-intelsat-payloads/ Thu, 08 Aug 2019 05:00:09 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=15513 Arianespace marked another success for global telecommunications with launch of the Intelsat 39 and EDRS-C satellites, which were deployed to geostationary transfer orbit on its latest flight using a workhorse Ariane 5.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2019/05/europes-spacedatahighway-edrs-c-ready-to-launch-in-july-2019/ Thu, 09 May 2019 05:00:22 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=13919 The EDRS-C satellite, the second node of the SpaceDataHighway network (also known as the European Data Relay System - EDRS), will be launched into geostationary orbit at 31° East on 24 July 2019 by an Ariane 5 launcher.]]>
