Low Earth orbit satellite constellation

Connecting people all over the globe

Airbus is a world leader in spacecraft design and mass production having developed satellites for large constellations using disruptive approaches in design and manufacturing.

Airbus leverages decades of experience to deliver reliable, high quality satellite constellations - implementing automated production facilities and optimising costs for powerful, scalable solutions in global connectivity and secure communications.

Airbus constellations: heritage meets innovation

With more than 648 OneWeb satellites launched, Airbus is the first and one of the only satellite manufacturers in the world to have completed a telecommunications satellite constellation.

Taking inspiration from aircraft series production, Airbus has developed a space standard for low cost, high quality production which is implemented in the two unique assembly lines in Toulouse (France) and Florida (USA).

Airbus has developed the ARROW platform for use in a variety of low Earth orbit missions, including communications, Earth observation, Machine-to-Machine(M2M)/Internet of Things (IoT), maritime, and aerospace applications.

With a strong presence in the satellite market, Airbus leverages its expertise to address the growing demand for constellation solutions, serving government and commercial customers worldwide. Airbus is equally committed to defining and developing the constellations of tomorrow.
