LEO Constellations

The future of space is not what it used to be: Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations complement large existing space systems and are enabling an extensive new range of missions and opportunities for businesses and governments. Airbus U.S. is on a mission to facilitate access to space and to provide affordable, powerful, smart and modular constellation spacecraft.

A satellite with extended solar panels orbits Earth against a backdrop of constellations. Earth’s curved horizon is visible, showcasing a mix of ocean and land beneath a partially cloudy sky. The satellite appears to be in a high-altitude LEO orbit.
