Latecoere Strengthens Its Space Collaboration With Airbus on the Eurostar Neo Platform

TOULOUSE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Latecoere (Paris:LAT), a Tier-1 partner to leading aircraft and spacecraft manufacturers, is strengthening its collaboration with Airbus Defence & Space on the Eurostar Neo platform, a new-generation high-performance communications satellite.

Latecoere’s Space Solutions division has been awarded two new build-to-print contracts:

• For two Eurostar Neo satellites for a defense program: Latecoere will deliver the entire platform harness, covering the Service Module (SM), the Communication Module (CM) and the full set of plugs.

• For two Eurostar Neo Al Yah 4 and Al Yah 5 satellites operated by the UAE-based operator Yahsat: Latecoere will produce the Service Module (SM) electrical harness and a set of plugs.

Latecoere will also carry out the integration of these harnesses onto the satellite structure at Airbus Defence & Space facilities. To give a sense of scale, a Service Module harness includes around 16,000 electrical terminations, while a Communication Module harness can reach 30,000.

Leveraging its competence centers in Europe (Vendargues, France) and North America (Hermosillo, Mexico), it delivers cutting-edge, end-to-end solutions to space customers worldwide.
