}}Thales Alenia Space is a Franco-Italian aerospace manufacturer formed[2] after the Thales Group bought the participation of Alcatel in the two joint-ventures between Alcatel and Leonardo, Alcatel Alenia Space and Telespazio.[3] The company is Europe's largest satellite manufacturer.[4]

History

Alcatel Alenia Space was established on June 1, 2005 by the merger of Alcatel Space and Alenia Spazio and was owned by Alcatel-Lucent (67%) and Finmeccanica (33%).

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.[5]

The European Union agreed in this financial operation on April 10, 2007.[6]

Activities

The company built the Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules, which was used to transport cargo inside the Space Shuttle orbiters. It also built several modules for the International Space Station: the Cupola, the Columbus, Harmony, Tranquility and Leonardo. It also built the pressure vessels for the Automated Transfer Vehicle and Cygnus spacecraft.[7]

In the mid-1990s, the United States stopped issuing export licenses for satellite components that will be launched on Chinese rockets, fearing that this would help China's military. In response, Thales Alenia developed a line of ITAR-free satellites that contained no restricted US components. From 2005 to 2012, ITAR-free satellites such as Apstar 6,[8] Chinasat-6B, and Apstar 7 were launched on Chinese Long March rockets.[9] However, the US Department of State did not accept the ITAR-free status of these satellites and fined the US company Aeroflex $8 million for selling ITAR components. In 2013, Thales Alenia discontinued its ITAR-free satellite line.[10]

In 2016, Thales Alenia Space had 7,980 employees and from 2016 operates in 17 industrial sites located in eight countries (France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and United States):
