new Séléné building in Cannes, for which it started construction in October 2014. This production facility, intended for the integration and testing of optical observation instruments, complements the existing facilities in Cannes dedicated to optical observation programs, and will help develop the export market for high-resolution systems, in addition to work on current contracts.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe building inaugurated today is the last facet of the Odyssée program, which kicked off in 2008 to expand the Cannes production site to surrounding land made available by the city of Cannes, which signed an emphyteutic (long-term) lease with Thales Alenia Space.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThales Alenia Space is applying a new approach to the optimal use of floorspace in this divisible building, which has a footprint of 1,500 square meters, including up to four separate integration zones to handle four satellites at the same time. The building features stringently controlled clean rooms, an airlock entrance, control rooms and machine rooms. One of the clean rooms spans 300 square meters and is Class ISO 5 (Class 100, or less than 100 particles no larger than 0.5 µm per cubic foot – compared with a human hair, which is 40 to 50 mµ in diameter); the other is 500 square meters and Class ISO 8 (Class 100,000). These rooms house the optical test bench assembly and thermal chamber used to measure optical performance without outside disturbances, such as air turbulence, vibrations, etc.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSatellite export sales, especially optical observation models, are a strategic part of Thales Alenia Space's business development objectives. This fast-growing market is being driven by an increasing number of countries that want to acquire their own systems capable of independently providing them with high-precision intelligence photos.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough this 8 million euro investment, plus the introduction of the new\u0026nbsp;Earth Observer Optical product line, Thales Alenia Space, already a leader in the very-high-resolution optical observation market, will be able to bolster its export capability thanks to increased industrials facilities, unrivaled in Europe.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp aria-hidden='true'\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Thales Alenia Space\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Finmeccanica (33%), is a key European player in space telecommunications, navigation, Earth observation, exploration and orbital infrastructures. Thales Alenia Space and Telespazio form the two parent companies' “Space Alliance”, which offers a complete range of services and solutions. Because of its unrivaled expertise in dual (civil/military) missions, constellations, flexible payloads, altimetry, meteorology and high-resolution optical and radar instruments, Thales Alenia Space is the natural partner to countries that want to expand their space program. The company posted consolidated revenues in excess of 2 billion euros in 2014, and has 7,500 employees in eight countries. \u003ca href=\"http://www.thalesaleniaspace.com\"\u003ewww.thalesaleniaspace.com\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp aria-hidden='true'\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n","blocks":[],"boxCarousel":{"slide":[]},"next":{"name":"Thales Alenia Space's Poseidon-3C radar altimeter chosen for  SWOT oceanography satellite","url":"/en/press-releases/thales-alenia-spaces-poseidon-3c-radar-altimeter-chosen-swot-oceanography-satellite","image":{"src":"https://tas-static.thalesaleniaspace.com/cms/public/styles/241x143/public/2022-06/photo_swot_2.jpg.webp?VersionId=gzUVfmKlc6mcgH2QRBNnQq3bDx9QuMtW\u0026h=2f3f84a4\u0026itok=hAXcyF1u","alt":"Thales Alenia Space's Poseidon-3C radar altimeter chosen for  SWOT oceanography satellite - Thalesgroup"}}},"seo":{"title":"Thales Alenia Space inaugurates new optical integration building | Thales Alenia Space","image":{"media_image":{"url":{"_1920x1200":"https://www.thalesaleniaspace.com/assets/img/placeholders/1900x1200.jpg"}}},"description":"Cannes, October 2, 2015 – Thales Alenia Space inaugurates today the new Séléné building in Cannes, for which it started construction in October 2014.","canonical":"https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/worldwide/space/press-release/thales-alenia-space-inaugurates-new-optical-integration-building","desc":"We believe in Space as humankind’s new horizon to build a better, sustainable Life on Earth.
