Showcasing innovations in the fields of civil and military aviation, FIDAE (Feria Internacional Del Aire y del Espacio) offers a valuable platform for vendors and customers: in 2006, the show attracted 380 exhibitors from 45 countries, with more than 130,000 visitors.

This year, Thales Alenia Space will share the booth with Thales and will highlight:

Pleiades HR Instrument
The Pleiades project is part of the French-Italian observation system
ORFEO, which covers both civil and military requirements: Pleiades is the high-resolution optical imaging component of this system, while Cosmo-SkyMed provides radar imaging. The high-resolution imaging instruments offer high resolution (70 cm) and a wide field of view (20 km), and produce images in both the visible and near-infrared bands.

COSMO SKYMED
As program prime contractor, Thales Alenia Space provides the Italian
Ministry of Defense and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) with the first dual satellite-based Earth observation system manufactured in Europe, the COSMO-SkyMed constellation. This constellation, based on four 4 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites in X band, will enable to manage environmental risks, and will undertake territorial and security surveillance for civil and military applications.
The two first satellites of the constellation have been launched.
