Telespazio, a privately owned company headquartered in Italy, was founded in 1961 and employs approximately 940 individuals. The company operates in Defense and Space Manufacturing, specializing as a designer and developer of satellite systems and downstream applications. Its activities range from the development of space systems to the management of launch services and in-orbit satellite control, encompassing Earth observation services, integrated communication, satellite navigation and localization, and scientific programs.
