News Summary:

Telespazio Ibérica, the Spanish subsidiary of Telespazio, secured a €20 million contract on February 24, 2026, to develop an Earth observation constellation for the Canary Islands. This project, which the Tenerife Island Council approved in September 2025, involves a constellation of three operational satellites and one technological demonstrator. These satellites, each weighing between 20 and 30 kilograms, are designed to orbit at 450–700 km and ensure daily coverage of the archipelago and surrounding waters. The project's objectives and features were presented in Malaga on February 18, 2026, during SSSIF Málaga 2026. Previously, on February 17, 2026, Telespazio implemented the URANO research project, funded by the Italian Space Agency with ENAV's technical assistance and in partnership with Leonardo. URANO focuses on integrating Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into Italy’s national Air Traffic Management (ATM) system, ensuring safety and precision through satellite navigation systems like Galileo. Earlier, on February 11, 2026, the company hosted the Members' Assembly of the Abruzzo Aerospace District (DAAB) at its Fucino Space Centre, marking the conclusion of DAAB's first six months of activity, during which its membership grew to over 60.
