Personnel, vehicles on the ground, helicopters and planes must be well-coordinated for effective firefighting operations.

In firefighting operations, the Helicopter Transport Intervention Detachment involves carrying equipment, personnel, or water that will be emptied into reservoirs for the teams on the ground

Airbus built Europe’s first mission to Mars – Mars Express which was launched in 2003. Airbus also designed and manufactured the surface lander Beagle 2 (carried to Mars by Mars Express), which was unfortunately lost after its release.

Airbus has designed and built the ESA ExoMars rover vehicle, Europe’s first rover to another planet. The ExoMars rover was built in a special bio-burden cleanroom in Stevenage (UK) to ensure it meets planetary protection guidelines.

Airbus is to build the Earth Return Orbiter that will collect the samples from Martian orbit and return them to Earth. Airbus is the European Space Agency (ESA)’s prime contractor for the Mars Sample Return’s Earth Return Orbiter (ERO) – the first ever spacecraft to bring samples back to Earth from Mars.

Airbus is working on the next study design phase (B2) of the Sample Fetch Rover (SFR) study on behalf of ESA as part of the Mars Sample Return mission. In 2026, SFR will be launched to Mars and search for the samples left behind by Perseverance. IT will collect and carry them back to the lander and place them in a Mars Ascent Vehicle which will launch them into orbit around Mars.

Key Airbus technology will be on board Perseverance Mars rover: the MEDA meteorological station will provide scientists with valuable Mars weather data and the High Gain Antenna System will ensure a high-speed comms link with Earth for the duration of the MARS2020 mission.

With the new Eurostar Neo platform, the payload capacity can be greatly increased, with the Communication Module able to accommodate up to 2 tons of payload and provide payload power of more than 25kW. EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F and 13G will both have spacecraft power of 22 kW and a launch mass of only 4,500 kg.

Airbus’ Portsmouth team delivered the EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F Communications Module to Toulouse at the start of January 2021 where it joined the Stevenage and Toulouse produced Service Module. The EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13F satellite is now beginning its final series of tests in preparation for its launch.

A fleet of helicopters – including this Airbus-built rotorcraft – were relied on to perform key missions in response to 2020’s Storm Alex; activities involved the delivery of supplies, evacuation of wounded, search operations for missing persons and other duties.

Le drone maritime Aliaca est un système de grande endurance capable d’effectuer des missions de 3 heures dans un rayon d’action de 50 km (27 milles). Parfaitement adapté aux missions maritimes avec une charge utile électro-optique/infrarouge (EO/IR) gyrostabilisée haute performance, il est également opérable dans les conditions les plus difficiles.

Airbus reported consolidated Full-Year (FY) 2020 financial results and provided guidance for 2021.

Since 2018, Airbus Engineers have been working alongside American Magic, the US Challenger for the 2021 America's Cup.
