Telespazio is to participate in Satellite 2010, the conference and exhibition which, this year, is due to take place at the Gaylord National Convention Centre (Washington D.C.) from 16 to 18 March.

The company is present on the exhibition area of the event with a stand where it will demonstrate its activities in the sectors of integrated communications, satellite operations, earth observation, navigation services and infomobility.

In the United States, Telespazio supplies DRS Technologies, a company controlled by Finmeccanica, with satellite telecommunication services via the SICRAL satellites of the Italian MoD, and teleport services via its own space centre at Fucino, in Italy. With this agreement, Telespazio in 2008 launched a process of penetrating the US market in the military communications (Milsatcom) sectors and the teleport services (global network communications), with the aim of further developing its own activities in the fields of homeland security, telemedicine and e-learning.

Furthermore, with its subsidiary e-GEOS (80% Telespazio, 20% Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (Italian Space Agency)), Telespazio has initiated an important collaboration with Lockheed Martin to develop combined activities in the sector of Geospatial Information. In January 2010, the team composed of Lockheed Martin and e-GEOS succeeded in winning a contract worth up to USD 85 million from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for the supply of data, products and services obtained by the Italian COSMO-SkyMed SAR satellites.

Moreover, at Satellite 2010 Telespazio will be presenting its own space vehicle management services: from small scientific satellites to large-scale constellations.
