Providing essential imagery and data from space

Space matters for life on Earth
Our purpose is to improve life on Earth and beyond through our cutting-edge space technologies.
From in-orbit delivery of satellites and spacecraft equipment to the smallest electronic components, Airbus provides products and services to customers around the world.
We deliver telecommunications and navigation satellites that enable people to connect everywhere and navigate safely on Earth.
The data from Airbus-built Earth observation satellites, such as Sentinel-2 or MetOp, bring insight that helps us to better understand and protect our planet.
Airbus is contributing to space exploration with pioneering satellites such as the Earth Return Orbiter which will head to Mars, and JUICE, already on its way to Jupiter, playing a vital role in increasing our knowledge of the universe.
Airbus also enables independent access to space to European governments and commercial customers through the Ariane Group joint venture with Safran.
