Mission & Goals
With a fleet of 35 geostationary satellites and a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation of more than 600 satellites providing capacity for broadcasters, media service providers, telecom operators, ISPs and governmental agencies, Eutelsat Group is the world's first satellite operator with an integrated GEO-LEO infrastructure. Eutelsat was formed in 2023 through the combination of Eutelsat, a global pioneer in GEO satellite operations founded in 1977, and OneWeb, established in 2012, the first company to operate a LEO constellation worldwide. With a proven track record of in-orbit successes and its ability to keep pace with rapidly evolving market trends, Eutelsat stands out as one of the world’s most innovative and experienced commercial satellite operators. Our satellites are used for video broadcasting, satellite newsgathering, broadband services, data connectivity, connecting airplanes and ships, enabling mission-critical government and NGO communications, and more.
