Climats participates in the future constellation of satellites for internet

On 10 September 2019

Climats takes part in the adventure between Airbus (Toulouse) and OneWeb (United States).

France 3 (National French TV news) has been able to access the Unique factory in the world located in Toulouse where it is planned to manufacture satellites in an almost automated way.

900 satellites will be sent into space to cover the Earth and distribute broadband Internet around the world. VISUALIZE THE REPORT HERE

For engineers, this is the last straight line before it goes into orbit. Here, we test communications with the Earth. Here, we test the operation of the satellite in climates enclosures (enclosures at 0°C, temperature in space). The satellites will be sent about 1,000 km above the ground to provide high-speed Internet access around the globe. The full service will be available in 2027.
