Thales Alenia Space

Governments, institutions and companies rely on Thales Alenia Space to design, operate and deliver satellite-based systems that help them position and connect anyone or anything, everywhere, help observe our planet, help optimize the use of our planet's – and our solar system’s – resources.

Additive Manufacturing

Europe’s very first 3D printer in space.

POP3D Portable On-Board Printer is a small 3D printer that requires very limited power and crew involvement to operate.

Funded by the Italian space agency ASI, the POP3D (Portable On-Board Printer) for 3D printing reached orbit in 2015. The compact, cube-shaped printer measures 25 cm per side and weighs 5.5 kg in Earth gravity. It prints in biodegradable and harmless PLA plastic, using a heat-based process called ‘fused filament fabrication’.

POP3D typically takes about half an hour to produce a single plastic part, which was subsequently returned to the ground for detailed testing, including comparison to an otherwise identical part printed on the ground. The Italian Institute of Technology assisted with post-flight examinations.

Space Station Modules

Thales Alenia Space and Axiom Space have signed the final contract for the development of two key pressurized elements of Axiom Space Station - the world’s first commercial space station. Scheduled for launch in 2024 and 2025 respectively, the two elements will originally be docked to the International Space Station (ISS), marking the birth of the new Axiom Station segment. The value of the contract is 110 Million Euro.

The status and first launch currently applies to the POP3D printer because most other activities are studies.

In-Orbit Servicing

Thales Alenia Space is developing Start, a fleet of in-orbit service vehicles. A fleet of service satellites will intervene in orbit to capture debris, de-orbit end-of-life satellites and also repair or refuel. The first demonstration should take place in 2026.

At the end of 2021, the subsidiary of the Thales group and the Italian Leonardo successfully tested on the ground a first technological demonstrator of a space service agent, called Eross, developed in three years, with the support of the European Commission. The project is taking a new step this year with the development of a second demonstrator, Eross+, which will be built in Cannes, in order to be tested in orbit in 2026.

Cis-Lunar Transfer Vehicle (CLTV)

Thales Alenia Space, joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%) has signed a contract with European Space Agency (ESA), worth € 4,5 Million, for the study of Cis-Lunar Transfer Vehicle (CLTV), a transportation logistic space vehicle to be used for a variety of missions: from the logistic resupply of Lunar Gateway pressurized modules, to the transportation of space infrastructure in low Earth orbit, and the potential use in future missions in support of the European Large Logistic Lander (EL3).

IMAGIN-e (ISS Mounted Accessible Global Imaging Nod-e)

The IMAGIN-e payload comprises a powerful on-orbit computer, an on-orbit application framework, and high-performance Earth Observation sensors to demonstrate and validate on-orbit computing technologies and potentialities onboard the International Space Station. This space edge computing capacity will allow gathering faster, to-the-point Earth observation insights immediately applicable for our planet's surveillance, understanding, and protection.

"With IMAGIN-e, we are stepping ahead in edge computing solutions in space to unlock new in-orbit climate data processing applications for the benefit of our planet's sustainability through Earth observation. We are happy to welcome UARX to the team," added Lara Arche, program manager at Thales Alenia Space in Spain.

ISRU

Has been tasked with producing a small piece of equipment that will evaluate the prospect of building larger lunar plants to extract propellant for spacecraft and breathable air for astronauts – as well as metallic raw materials for equipment.

The compact payload will need to extract 50-100 grams of oxygen from lunar regolith – targeting 70% extraction of all available oxygen within the sample – while delivering precision measurements of performance and gas concentations. And it will have to do all this in a hurry, within a 10 day period – running on the solar power available within a single fortnight-long lunar day, before the coming of the pitch-black, freezing lunar night.

ESA’s Directorate of Human and Robotic Exploration selected the Thales-led team made up of AVS, Metalysis, Open University and Redwire Space Europe following a detailed study last year, evaluating three rival designs. The process followed a new approach to selecting system concepts.

“Employing a challenge approach let us evaluate the competing payload concepts on a precise, side-by-side basis,” comments David Binns, Systems Engineer from ESA’s state-of-the-art Concurrent Design Facility (CDF). “Now we’re looking forward to working with the winning consortium to make their design a practical reality.

Giorgio Magistrati, Studies and Technologies Team Leader at ESA's ExPeRT (Exploration Preparation, Research and Technology) initiative adds: “The time is right to begin work on realising this In-Situ Resource Utilisation demonstrator, the first step in our larger ISRU implementation strategy. Once the technology is proven using this initial payload, our approach will culminate in a full-scale ISRU plant in place on the Moon in the early part of the following decade.”

The underlying concept has already been proven. Samples returned from the lunar surface confirm that lunar regolith is made up of 40–45% percent oxygen by weight, its single most abundant element. The difficulty is that this oxygen is bound up chemically as oxides in the form of minerals or glass, so is unavailable for immediate use.
