AIRBUS SPACE AND DEFENCE

Pléiades Neo satellites arrive in Kourou for launch The first two Airbus-built Pléiades Neo imaging satellites have arrived at the European Space Centre in Kourou. Scheduled to launch in April 2021 on a Vega launcher, Pléiades Neo 3, the first of the new generation of very high-resolution satellites will join the existing Airbus fleet of optical and radar satellites, with increased resolution, revisit and coverage. It will be closely followed by its twin, Pléiades Neo 4, also scheduled for launch on a Vega rocket a few weeks later.

Airbus has being qualified by the Canadian government as a bidder for the Strategic Tanker Transport Capability (STTC) project. The STTC program looks to replace the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Airbus A310MRTT (CC-150 Polaris) tanker fleet with a multirole aircraft capable of conducting a wide range of missions and able to operate in NATO and NORAD missions; ranging from air-to-air refueling operations to strategic government of Canada transport and aeromedical evacuation. The A330MRTT is the 21st century benchmark for new generation tanker/transport aircraft, combat-proven and with unique multi-role capabilities. 🇫🇷🇨🇦 Airbus s’est qualifié comme soumissionnaire pour le projet ASTRV (Avion stratégique de transport et de ravitaillement en vol) auprès du gouvernement canadien. Le programme ASTRV vise à remplacer la flotte d'avions ravitailleurs Airbus A310 MRTT (CC-150 Polaris) de de l'Aviation royale canadienne (ARC) par un aéronef multi rôles capable d'effectuer un large éventail de missions et de participer aux missions de l'OTAN et du NORAD, allant des opérations de ravitaillement air-air au transport stratégique du gouvernement du Canada et à l'évacuation sanitaire aérienne. https://www.airbus.com/defence/a330mrtt.html #Airbus #A330MRTT #Tanker

Automation and the digital transformation of manufacturing in industry 4.0 provide significant benefits. However, in the Factory of the Future (FoF), plants are exposed to cyber threats more than ever before. On the path towards a resilient digital factory, it is indispensable to build cyber security into the heart of all future developments. #airbus #cybersecurity #cyber #security

AirTanker and Airbus have jointly invested in upgrading the Satellite Communications system on a Voyager A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport, enabling the aircraft to act as an airborne communications node concurrent with Air-to-Air Refuelling operations. The joint investment was made to support the Royal Air Force Rapid Capability Office’s Babelfish 7 demonstration of Multi Domain Integration. The Voyager (A330MRTT) modification is fully certified so that it can remain on the aircraft and is available for operational use. #Airbus #A330MRTT #Aerospace

The city of Manching is the centre of competence for Airbus’ military air systems activity in Germany, hosting Airbus’ contribution to the Eurofighter programme – including final assembly, system tests and flight trials the combat aircraft supplied to Germany’s air force, the Luftwaffe. Manching also services Airbus-made aircraft that are in service with the Luftwaffe. Research and development activities in unmanned flight also take place in Manching. https://www.airbus.com/company/worldwide-presence/germany.html #Airbus #Manching #Aerospace

Discover in replay, a webinar about available tools for the European Union to develop winning strategies to halt deforestation. The change is now and the European Union has recently announced its ambition to anticipate, conceive and implement policies and tools to accelerate in addressing deforestation effectively. This webinar was organized under the patronage of Irène Tolleret, Member of the European Parliament, and featured presentations on cross-cutting technological options by Airbus and EarthWorm Foundation. The event was opened by Pascal Canfin, Chairman of the European Parliament’s Environmental Committee. In this webinar you will learn about: - WHAT ARE THE EU COMMITMENTS IN TERMS OF DEFORESTATION? -WHAT DIFFICULTIES IS THE EU FACING? - HOW SATELLITE IMAGERY AND DIGITAL CAN SUPPORT THE EU IN ITS COMMITMENT? - HOW THE STARLING SERVICE IS A KEY ASSET TO PROGRESS?

Stack Insight facilitates volume calculations and change detection, allowing operators to monitor their mines without sending people into the field. This Monitoring service delivers volume measurement reports as well as change analysis over mines within 3 days after acquisition. Mainly used for the mining industry, this could be used for any type of stacks (paper, earth, minerals, wood, etc.). Learn more at: oneatlas.airbus.com #Airbus #OneAtlas #StackInsight

From Europe to the Moon, the European Space Agency and Airbus invite you for a glimpse inside our cleanroom and latest updates on ESA’s European Service Module built by Airbus for the NASA Artemis mission. Join us virtually for a visit at the Airbus cleanroom to see the European Service Modules ESM-2 and ESM-3, parts of Europe’s contribution to the Artemis missions to the Moon. ESM-2 is nearing completion before extensive testing and transfer to the US later this summer, where the first module, ESM-1, is now in final preparations for its launch on Artemis I, the uncrewed first lunar mission using Orion at the end of 2021. The second Artemis mission, with ESM-2, will take up to four astronauts on a flyby around the Moon and ESM-3 will take the first humans to land on the Moon since December 1972. The event is hosted by Andreas Hammer, Head of Space Exploration at Airbus, ESA DG Jan Wörner, and ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst. #Artemis #Moon #Space
