The European Satellite Services Provider (ESSP) stands as a cornerstone among European companies belonging to the European satellite-based services ecosystem. As the company celebrates its 15th anniversary, it is the right time to reflect on its journey, its significant achievements, and its strong commitment to the European Union (EU) policy and aerospace technology developments. Since its creation in 2009, ESSP has been operating under the mandate of the European Union Space Programme Agency (EUSPA) and the EU, evolving from a specialized service provider to a key player in satellite navigation, communication and surveillance services.

Thales, Spire and ESSP are joining forces to develop a satellite constellation and offer new space-based surveillance services for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs).

The 100+ satellite constellation will provide real-time air traffic surveillance, enhancing aviation safety, sustainability and airspace security.
