In a partnership between Cegelec Space and APCO, with the participation of Telematic Solutions, MT Aerospace and ArianeGroup, this 10-year contract covers a wide range of services.  

The teams are responsible for the management, coordination and configuration of operations and resources for satellite preparation installations. They will also handle the maintenance, configuration and operation of mechanical, fluid and energy distribution systems, and the supply of specialised personal protective equipment.  

The contract additionally requires them to maintain ultra-hygienic conditions in clean rooms, and to perform measurements and analyses in the fields of chemistry and physics. It also includes management services for the 11,800 items of static and mobile equipment and 3,200 measurement devices in use across the space centre and its remote sites.
