Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), is a key European player in space telecommunications, navigation, Earth observation, exploration and orbital infrastructures. Because of its unrivaled expertise in dual (civil/military) missions, constellations, flexible payloads, altimetry, meteorology and high-resolution optical and radar instruments.

Thales Alenia Space develops the ground segment of MTG (Meteosat Third Generation) project, satellite dedicated to meteorology forecast. Thales Alenia Space Software Competence Center is in charge of the Instrument Data Processing Facility (IDPF).
