3 Introduction Vision Vision We see a global market for small Geostationary Satellite Solutions for commercial telecom for institutional and defence customers on demand based on a modular approach tailored to customers needs offering best value for money with rapid delivery Therefore, we intend to develop and manufacture a Small GEO Platform under ESA Artes-11 Programme Slide 3

4 Introduction Industrial Team Team A European Consortium of small and medium system integrators of Contraves Space AG, LuxSpace Sarl. OHB-System AG (lead) Swedish Space Corporation has been formed to provide the Small GEO turn-key solutions Slide 4

5 Introduction Activities towards a European Platform Industrial Initiative Q1/2003- Q1/2005 Company funded Pre-Phase A (completed) Q1/2005- Q1/2006 DLR co-funded Phase A/B0, together with Tesat Spacecom (completed) Q4/2005- Q3/2006 Small GEO Consolidation Study under Artes-1 + Industry funding, together with Swedish Space, Contraves and LuxSpace (ongoing) Q4/2006 Phase B for Platform Development under Artes-11 (expected to commence) Slide 5

6 Key Elements of Business Plan Market Market Requirements and and Solutions Purchasing decisions very projectspecific Demand Side Requirements Supply Side Trends Key requirements prioritized accordingly Design flexibility Reliability Cost effectiveness Delivery speed and schedule confidence Business model flexibility New technologies increase flexibility Increase of payload masses per platform Flexibility of payloads Electric propulsion Satellite platform will: Be highly modular to accommodate: - Various types of payloads - State-of-the-art technologies Apply new technologies for excellent payload-to-mass ratio to - maintain benefits of small GEO platform - provide launcher flexibility Slide 6

7 Key Elements of Business Plan Flexibly Flexiblyadjusting of of product productoffering offeringand and business model model Differentiating Advantages Truly European Origin European technologies & standards Attractive to customers Benefits from European industrial politics Experienced Team of Small/Medium Manufacturers Proven experience and flexibility of core team Track record of comparable projects Dynamics of small companies / independence of large corporations Fast decision processes Lower overhead Flexible sourcing Slide 7

8 Core Findings of Business Plan Flexibly Flexiblyadjusting of of product productoffering offeringand and business model model Strengths in Key Decision Criteria Design Flexibility Tailored to customer requirements No US components (if required) Reliability Delivery Speed Competitive Price Business Model Flexibility Heritage from previous missions Leverage flight-proven components Flexible processes Design freeze CDR Tight project control Simple design Lean processes Competitive sourcing Consortium covers key competences Flexible adjustment of product offering Slide 8

9 Core Findings of Business Plan SGEO SGEO Consortium Business Model Model Range of Capabilities Platform Manufacturing + Satellite system prime plus selected payload components payload design & integration integration of 3rd party designed payload payload Integration by third party 'Sweet Spot' Platform manufacturing Unrealistic scenarios Platform provision to prime On-ground delivery In-orbit delivery Turnkey solution Satellite operation Slide 9

10 Core Findings of Business Plan SGEO SGEO Consortium Business Model Model Product Range Comprises full system integration capabilities: platform and payload Only long-term sustainable position Flexibility to seize other opportunities, e.g. Operations support for start-ups Cooperation, e.g. to enter new markets to address otherwise non-accessible customers Slide 10

11 Product Offering Provision of of Turn-Key Systems Product Portfolio: A geostationary platform of 300 kg class payload mass and ~3 kw payload power one-stop-shop to the customer A corresponding telecom payload Further elements on demand: - launch / LEOP - ground control segment elements Platform -Geostationary ~3 kw P/L Power ~300 kg P/L Mass Payload -Preferentially by Consortium -On demand: selected by customer - mission operations elements Launch Ground Segment Mission operation Services - training, maintenance... In addition, the SGEO Consortium offers individual small GEO satellites or platforms for institutional customers (government/defence agencies) -Direct Injection -GTO option -Baseband Section -More elements on demand -LEOP / IOT -Full ops on demand only -Training -Maintenance -Telemetry monitoring Slide 11

12 Industrial Consortium Organisation Customer Artes-11: Preference to operator with time-tomarket demand The Consortium intends to offer on-ground as well as in-orbit delivery of satellites Customers Consortium Dynamic and flexible companies with proven expertise working together in a reliable partnership SGEO Consortium OHB-System (Prime) Consortium agreement in place All subsystem competences and responsibilities in this team Swedish Space (Sub) Contraves Space (Sub) LuxSpace (Sub) Suppliers Early selection on a competitive basis in Phase B (2007) with long term agreements for the commercial exploitation phase whenever appropriate Suppliers Slide 12

13 Industrial Consortium Heritage OHB OHB System System AG AG Medium-sized systems integrator belonging to the listed OHB Technology Group, with more than 800 employees in the areas of Space Systems + Security, Space Transportation + Aerospace Structures Telematics + Satellite Operations Extensive knowledge in project management, system engineering and integration Experience and reputation in development of small and cost-efficent satellites and missions, e.g. current Prime Contracts for Design & Manufacturing, Launch, Ground Segment and Operations of Germany s SAR- Lupe reconnaissance system Integration, test and launch of the first 7 satellites of the next generation global ORBCOMM fleet Slide 13

14 Industrial Consortium Heritage Swedish Space SpaceCorporation End-to-end experience and knowledge of space systems, covering the entire range from feasibility studies to operations Small System Integrator that developed and delivered the successful satellites Viking, Freja, Astrid 1 and 2, ODIN and the SMART-1 lunar probe Experience of specification, procurement, LEOP, operation and frequency coordination of the TELE-X and SIRIUS-2, -3, and -4 telecom satellites and of related telecom services Now developing the PRISMA demo-mission for Rendezvous and Formation Flying with 2 satellites About 50% of the business comes from the commercial market. Slide 14

15 Industrial Consortium Heritage Contraves Space Space AG AG System Engineering Management of complex development projects Responsibility on system and sub-system level Steering of large teams with international sub-contractors and suppliers Lightweight Composite Structure Payload Fairings Complex Spacecraft structures (e.g. ATV, Metop) Thermally stable struct.
