In 2015 alone, one or the other of them was present to witness space cooperation deals signed with 11 nations: China, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Mexico, Morocco, Poland and Singapore.
Some of these nations – Kazakhstan, South Korea and Morocco — already have purchased French satellites, often accompanied by launch contracts with the Arianespace launch consortium of Evry, France. Others, such as Mexico and Poland, are weighing Earth observation satellite programs.
Peru was not on the 2015 list but PeruSat-1, built by Airbus Defence and Space, is scheduled for launch aboard a European Vega rocket this spring. The satellite contract followed substantial involvement of the French government, and particularly Le Drian.
Egypt is not on the list either, as it has been Le Drian that has had charge of the Egyptian customer, which in 2015 purchased French Rafale jet fighters and a multi-mission frigate and in 2016 has its sights set on a high-resolution optical reconnaissance satellite and a civil/military telecommunications spacecraft.
For telecommunications satellites, the competition is mainly from the United States or China, with Japan making efforts as well.
In Earth observation satellites, Airbus Defence and Space is in a dominant export position, with Thales Alenia Space also retooling for more export business. They are increasingly battling each other for export work in addition to facing off against Israeli
