Approximately1000 people attended the Toulouse Space Show, an international space exhibition for both business and the general public. ESA took part in the four-day event.

Highlighted at the ESA booth was the TIA directorate’s Alphabus/Alphasat programme. Alphabus/Alphasat is a specific element dedicated to the development and deployment of Alphasat. Alphasat is the satellite that, in partnership with Inmarsat, will incorporate the first unit of the Alphabus Platform jointly developed by Astrium and Thales Alenia Space.
