Small Satellite Manufacturing
The Airbus U.S. Space & Defense final assembly line in Merritt Island, Florida is home to Airbus' small satellite manufacturing capability in the United States. Located in the Space Coast’s Exploration Park, employees at the Airbus U.S. state-of-the-art facility build and integrate the ARROW family of satellites, including the ARROW150 and the new ARROW450, for a variety of commercial and government customers. The ARROW150 satellite provides customers with an affordable platform for high-performance space applications, while the larger, more modular ARROW450 offers greater versatility and capability to support a range of missions.
LEO Human Spaceflight & Commercialization
Airbus is a pioneer of LEO commercialization within the human spaceflight domain. The Airbus designed and built Bartolomeo Space Station platform offers external science and payload hosting capabilities on the ISS, providing new opportunities for science and research. Bartolomeo was developed on a commercial basis by Airbus, with its own investment, in cooperation with ESA and NASA. The platform is available for commercial as well as institutional customers.
NASA’s European Service Module
The European Service Module, built by Airbus Defence and Space, is Orion's powerhouse and will supply the spacecraft with in-space propulsion and power, as well as providing air and water for the crew when they are aboard. The service module will also keep the spacecraft at the right temperature and on course, while it travels to deep space.
Orion’s Powerhouse
Orion is NASA’s crew vehicle designed to send astronauts into deep space. The European Service Module is a core part of the Orion crew vehicle. Orion will be used to support all of NASA's Artemis missions to the moon. It will provide the vehicle to transport the crew for the Artemis-3 mission that will land the first woman and next man on the Moon and bring them back safely to Earth.
Ranger Flyaway Terminals
Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the Ranger Family of Terminals seamlessly integrates with multi-orbit constellations, powered by our advanced satellite terminal ground systems. This innovative approach unlocks significant benefits, streamlining training, enhancing logistics sustainment, and optimizing SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost). Additionally, you gain global reach, uninterrupted connectivity, and dramatically reduced latency for critical applications thanks to strategically designed multi-orbit systems. This future-proof solution ensures operational resilience and adaptability to evolving needs, making it ideal for organizations seeking to optimize their satellite infrastructure.
Starlab
Starlab is a next-gen commercial space station for space agencies, researchers, and companies, ensuring a continued human presence in low-Earth orbit and transitioning microgravity science from the ISS to the commercial era. Starlab Space is a US-led joint venture between Voyager Space and Airbus.
