Airbus Constellations Satellites

Airbus has always been a worldwide leader for spacecraft design and manufacturing but developing satellites for large constellations demands revolutionary approaches.

With, Airbus Constellations Satellites, a 100% Airbus Defence SAS subsidiary, Airbus innovates across design, production, and assembly to dramatically optimise costs for high-performance space applications.

Indeed, its subsidiary Airbus Constellations Satellites is pioneering new value propositions in space through the design of low-cost, ultra-high performing satellites at high volumes. With the more than 600 OneWeb satellites launched, Airbus Constellations Satellites is the first and one of the only satellite manufacturers in the world to complete a telecommunications satellite constellation.

Starting from a strong heritage of traditional geostationary satellite assembly methods, we implemented a unique assembly line in Toulouse (France) and in Merritt Island (USA) and a groundbreaking procurement supply chain.

Based on this heritage, Airbus Constellations Satellites developed the ARROW platform to adapt it in a variety of Low Earth Orbit missions including communications, Earth observation, M2M/IoT, maritime, and aero applications Our ability to iterate on satellite design and launch new satellites in quantity faster than ever before secures our competitive advantage in spacecraft production. We have leveraged resources and expertise across the entire company to rise to the constellations challenge and will provide satellites to government and commercial customers in several countries and are strongly involved in defining and developing future constellation projects.

We offer meaningful work in a healthy working environment which is focused on mobility, networking and work-life balance and are committed to cultivating and preserving our culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. We ensure a competitive compensation package that reflects our high regard for our people.
