Avionics
The building blocks for space programmes worldwide
Airbus’ avionics portfolio covers a complete range of compact and powerful onboard computers, launcher electronics and other world-class platform data handling equipment and interface units. Jena Optronik is the market leader for star sensors and rendezvous & docking light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensors.
Power
Airbus empowers customers' missions
As a leading European manufacturer of power solutions, Airbus has vast experience in providing turnkey solar arrays, photovoltaic assemblies and solar cell assemblies for institutional and commercial applications. The company also offers a full range of electronics - including power control units, power processing units for electric propulsion and electric power conditioners.
New Space equipment
Airbus developed PureLine, a proven family of compact and lightweight electronic products – initially envisioned for constellation applications, paving the way for disruptive unit prices while maintaining high quality. All components are intensively radiation-tested to ensure flawless operation for 10 years in low-Earth orbit. With its cutting-edge Sparkwing design, Airbus is the go-to partner for hassle-free smallsat solar arrays. TESAT offers inter-satellite as well as direct-to-Earth laser communication with disruptive “New space” products. In addition, Jena Optronik developed ASTRO CL, a breakthrough star sensor for smallsat and “New space” applications.
Mechanical and Thermal
Airbus developed HiPeR, a scalable High Performance Radiator product suite (thermal straps, flexible film radiator panels…) that brings disruptive benefits compared to traditional aluminum radiators. The company also provides tailored functional structures and radiator mechanical products where HiPeR’s advantages can be exploited.
Launcher products
Helping you bringing your mission up!
Benefiting from a strong heritage in equipment for launchers, Airbus contributes to the European success story. With state-of-the-art products and facilities, Airbus has played a key role in electronics and structures for the Ariane 5, Ariane 6 and Vega launchers.
