New Airbus Constellation Satellites Contract Award

 

Supporting Eutelsat OneWeb's mission of delivering global broadband
connectivity

 

Filtronic plc (AIM: FTC), the designer and manufacturer of products for the
aerospace, defence, space and telecoms infrastructure markets, is pleased to
announce a new contract win to develop and supply advanced filter and diplexer
assemblies to Airbus Defence and Space, for the supply of additional
satellites to Eutelsat OneWeb.

 

The contract, which will see Filtronic deliver flight sets for payload
integration in calendar year 2026, will support the expansion of the Eutelsat
OneWeb Low Earth Orbit ("LEO") satellite constellation. This initial contract
is of a significant value with potential order flow expected for the remainder
of the constellation rollout.

 

The assemblies will be produced in-house at Filtronic's advanced facility in
Sedgefield where the team will also oversee the qualification process to
ensure compliance with space environment specifications.

 

Further supporting the Airbus-OneWeb collaboration

Satellites built by Airbus will contribute to Eutelsat OneWeb's mission of
delivering global broadband connectivity. Eutelsat OneWeb, formed in 2023
through the merger of Eutelsat Communications and OneWeb, is the world's first
fully integrated satellite operator combining geostationary orbit and LEO
satellite technologies.

 

This next phase of 100 satellite production builds on the successful
Airbus-OneWeb collaboration, which has more than 600 satellites in orbit.

 

Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "This contract win aligns
with our strategy to expand capabilities in the space sector and places more
of our technology on to operational satellite payload systems. We are
delighted to have won a second contract with a European space provider,
following our announcement on 23 April 2025, highlighting the role we have to
play within this high-growth market and broadening our customer base."
