Space Systems
Indra is a space integrator with a global presence and participation in major European programmes.
We are a provider with end-to-end capabilities, leading in advanced space systems and delivering innovative, reliable solutions for connectivity, security, and global exploration.
In a constantly evolving world, marked by accelerated change and geopolitical uncertainty, Space has become a key strategic axis for sovereignty and defence.
Its impact is decisive in ensuring secure communications with full coverage, advanced protection through satellite observation, space surveillance, and geolocation.
Our end-to-end capabilities allow us to control the entire value chain: from satellite design and manufacturing to the development of control centres, operations, and service provision.
We specialise in space missions and technologies for Earth observation, telecommunications, satellite navigation, space situational awareness, and space exploration.
We combine decades of experience in Space and security to support civil, commercial and defence applications worldwide.
Systems for Space sovereignty
We have played a key role, from the outset, in defining and developing the European satellite navigation systems EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) and Galileo.
Indra is actively involved in defining and developing the next generation of European satellite navigation systems.
Next-generation CRPA antenna for GNSS, compatible with Galileo (PRS, OS) and GPS, designed for hostile environments, and operational on fixed ground stations, mobile land and maritime platforms, with evolution towards aircraft integration.
