About Eurospace

E

urospace " a non"profit organisaon

incorporated in 1961 " fosters the

development of space acvies in

Europe and promotes a beer

understanding of space industry related issues

and problems. Its members are the main space

industry manufacturers and launch service

providers.

Eurospace members cover the whole span

of the space industrial chain, are present in

13 European countries and represent more

than 90% of the European space industry

acvity from both turnover and

employment points of view.

Since 2004, Eurospace is the Space Group of

ASD (AeroSpace and Defence Industries

Associaon of Europe, created from the

merger of AECMA, EDIG and Eurospace

acvies) where it represents and defines

the space viewpoint of the associaon. This

new aggregated structure allows industry

to benefit from exisng synergies between

aeronauc, defence and space industrial

acvies.

Since its creaon, ESA has maintainedformal links with Eurospace. The associaon

provides an effecve entry point in the

industrial sector and is the preferred

channel to discuss industry"wide issues. A

frame contract between ESA and Eurospace

was signed in 1987, which allows the

associaon to perform advisory work for the

Agency. In 2001 a Memorandum of Understanding

(MoU) was signed that officially recognised

Eurospace as the representave body of the

European space industry. The MoU covered all

aspects related to new programmes,

compeveness, research & technology, and

administraon. In 2012 the ESA Eurospace MoU

was renewed.

Eurospace plays a key role in the European SpaceTechnology Strategy process, officially presenng

the whole European space manufacturing industry

views on technology evoluon and harmonisaon.

With 50 years of presence in the space policy

arena, Eurospace has established and maintains a

comprehensive network of contacts with the main

naonal space agencies in Europe (ASI, BNSC,

CNES, DLR,...) and with the relevant naonal

ministries. As policy evoluon required, Eurospace

extended its reach to new instuons, such as the

WEU, EDA or the French DGA for defence maers.

Over the past 15 years, the European Union has

developed a strong interest in space, from the

research and development point of view (with

dedicated space budgets being included in the 6th

and 7th Framework Programmes for example),

but also as a user and promoter of space

infrastructures (as with the Galileo programme or

the GMES iniave for instance). Indeed space

services and applicaons are now recognised as

efficient tools for policy implementaon,

environmental studies, situaon assessments, etc.to support the European Commission acons as

the execuve arm of the EU.

Eurospace mandate includes the relevant EU

bodies, including Commission DGs, the Council,

the Parliament etc. and eventually Eurospace

established a dedicated office in Brussels in 2001.

Eurospace is a recognised interlocutor to the

European Union, and an acve parcipant to EU

led industry consultaons on space, providing

data, analysis and assessments on space industry

related issues to relevant DGs as required.

Foreword

I am happy and proud to present to you the 2011

issue of our Facts and Figures annual survey. Aslast year, this edion includes a brief analysis of

the worldwide Space acvies in 2011. The aim is

to put the situaon of the European Space in-

dustry into a broader perspecve. We hope that

you will find it useful to beer understand the

main trends and realies of the Space business.

The total direct employment of the European

Space manufacturers has been increasing, slightly

exceeding 35,000 in 2011.

The overall turnover of the European Space in-

dustry peaked to 6.3 B€, up from 6.1 B€ in 2010.

However, this slight increase is the outcome of a

contrasted situaon.

On ESA side, the volume of acvies is almost

stable as compared to 2010, despite the com-

pleon of the ISS related developments, praccally

compensated for by the growth in mlauncherdevelopment and consolidaon acvies and the

rise of the Galileo programme funded by the Euro-

pean Commission. All together, ESA is by far the

first customer of the European Space industry and

represents in 2011 some 42% of its acvies in

worth.

In the same me, sales to Arianespace have re-

mained stable around 700 M€, represenng some

14% of the overall turnover of the sector.

On the commercial side, the business with Euro-

pean private operators exhibits a 25% increase,

which hardly balances the diminuon of export

sales. This pressure on export markets is likely to

connue in 2012 given the strong return of US

manufacturers in the commercial space telecom-

municaons area, and the emergence of newco-

mers pung a strong pressure on prices at thelower end of the segment.

The short term evoluon of this sector must be

carefully monitored in the next few months, as

this acvity is key to the European Space industry.

Military systems sales remain well below 1 B€ in

worth, distributed almost exclusively among the

four member States primarily acve in this area,

namely France, Germany, Italy and UK. Although in

constant reducon, this figure doesn’t reflect the

overall European efforts in Space defence relatedacvies, which are partly funded through nao-

nal agencies or private operators in PPP schemes.

With these evoluons, public customers have re-

presented in 2011 some 53% of the total turnover

of the European industry, in progression of 3% as

compared to 2010. In the same me, the share of

export sales out of Europe has decreased to 19%,

which remains however way above the level of

exports realized by non"European competors.

Finally, many on"going European Space pro-

grammes are reaching compleon or are about to

enter their operaonal phase. Decisions need to

be made at the next ESA Council at ministerial

level in order to effecvely launch new European

iniaves in the field of Space transportaon and

satellites applicaons in a difficult economic con-

text.

I would like once again to express my gratude to

all the companies that contributed to our survey

by compleng our quesonnaire. I will also take

this opportunity to encourage all the others to

devote a few minutes to us next year so as to

make this publicaon even more accurate and

reliable in the future.

by Jean Jacques Tortora: Eurospace Secretary General




Overview

The European space manufacturing industry is a niche strate-

gic sector, embedded in the wider European AeroSpace and

Defence industrial complex.

Two large industrial holdings (EADS and Thales) are directly

responsible for about 57% of the total space industry employ-

ment. The largest dedicated space business units and industrial

capabilies are found mainly in EADS Astrium and Thales Alenia

Space. Smaller space units are found also in large groups such

as Finmeccanica, OHB, RUAG & Safran (they represent 19% of

the employment (see pg. 7)).

SMEs represent less than 8% of the total space industry manu-

facturing employment, whereas small space units represent

almost half of all space units considered in Eurospace model

(see details at page 7).

The space manufacturing industry is an infrastructure supplier.

The sector operates at the higher end of the space value chain,

and supplies to service providers and public instuons, space-

cra and launchers to their requirements.

Industry is distributed across all Europe, with the main indus-

trial sites located in France, Germany, Italy, and, to a lesser

extent, United Kingdom, Spain and Belgium.

Major significant changes occurred in the European space in-

dustry over the past decades.

At the top of the value chain (systems integrators), mergers and

acquisions have restructured the manufacturing sector. Strat-

egies of vercal and horizontal integraon have kept on as well.Industry restructuring explains some of the employment reduc-

on endured by the sector since the mid ninees, but market

factors apply as well. Indeed, with the take up of commercial

and defence businesses, employment grew again in 2006 and

maintained a constant growth path since, backing revenue

growth in the same period.

The variaon in space industry revenue is driven by business

cycles and market evoluons in recent years .

In 2011, the space manufacturing industry experienced a slight

growth of final sales (+4% in current terms, +1.15% in constant

e.c.) supporng connued direct employment growth (+2.3%).

This slight increase follows a year of significant growth (+12,3%

between 2009 & 2010).

The core of space manufacturing acvity lies in the design, devel-

opment and manufacturing of satellites for operaonal applica-

ons, such as telecommunicaons systems and parts, Earth obser-

vaon systems and parts, and navigaon/localisaon systems and

parts .

The second area of business is launchers. Launcher acvies in-

clude operaonal launch systems sales (mainly to Arianespace)and development and consolidaon acvies, in support of the

Ariane and Vega systems.

Launcher development and consolidaon acvies are growing

since 2009

Scienfic acvies include a wide variety of systems and technolo-

gies, with science systems and parts (stable in 2011), and Human

spaceflight (and related acvies, such as ATV, ISS contribuon

etc.) represenng the core of revenues in this area.

Ground systems and acvies cover such diverse industrial acvi-

es as engineering and consultancy services, the development and

producon of ground staons and industrial hardware supporngdevelopment, producon and test acvies (EGSE/MGSE).

Launcher systems produced most of industry sales growth in 2011

mainly supported by instuonal development contracts.

Long series

The European space industry has access to two

main markets: an instuonal domesc market,

with a civil and military component, and a market

for commercial and export customers. Exports also

include sales to instuonal customers outside

Europe, such as space agencies in emerging coun-

tries (South Korea, Algeria).

The European instuonal market represented

more than half of European space manufacturing

industry’s final sales in 2011. The main instuonal

customers are ESA (worth 2.2 B€ sales), other civil

agencies such as CNES, DLR, ASI and others (worth

0.7 B€) and military agencies such as French DGA

(worth 0.4 B€). Military sales are stable from 2010,

other figures grow significantly.

The commercial & exports markets include a wide

variety of customers.

The main customers are commercial satellites op-

erators, such as Eutelsat and SES in Europe, Arabsat

or Globalstar outside Europe, that represent 1.3 B€

worth of sales. They are closely followed by launch

service providers that procure launch systems from

industry for a total 714 M€ (+7% from 2010). Com-

mercial markets have been driven for years by the

acvity of geostaonary satellite operators, with a

very marked cyclical component. The cycle affects

the sales of geostaonary satellite systems, as wellas the sales of Ariane systems (to a lesser extent).

Export sales include a share of sales to instuons

and governmental bodies outside Europe, smaller,

but sizeable (109 M€). They are mostly composed

of sales to non European space agencies (such as

NASA or KARI).

The sales of the European industry can also be

split between civil and military systems . Inter-

esngly, the total value of military systems sold

exceeds the value of sales to military enes. This

is due to the fact that military systems can be pro-

cured by some civil customers. This is the case of

the Private operator Paradigm procuring the mili-

tary Skynet 5 systems, and also of some civil agen-

cies such as CNES, DLR and ASI, that procure mili-

tary systems for defence authories.

In the past two decades, only one market of Euro-

pean industry has really grown in a significant way:

the market for satellite applicaons. The growth

has been supported by two parallel trends: the

improvement of European systems penetraon into

commercial and exports markets, and the growth

cycle of satellite telecommunicaons applicaons.

Sector Demographics

Age pyramid*

European space industry is rather characterisc in terms of age and

qualificaon structures. The industry maintains a rather stable age

structure . The average age of employees is about 44, with a quite

slight difference between women and men. The proporon of wom-

en in the industry is 19% in 2011 (a bit receding compared to 2010).

The core of employment is in the 45"55 age range. A situaon with

potenal impact in the coming decade, in terms of competences

preservaon in industry.

Qualificaon structure*

There is a rather high proporon of highly qualified workers in the

European space industry (engineers and PhDs represent overall 65%

of the employment).

Women in the space industry tend to have a slightly lower qualifica-

on profile than men.

NOTES

* detailed age distribuon and qualificaon struc-

ture is not available for all companies in the

model. The data compiled here is based on 68% of

total employment.

Employment distribuon by country and by segment**

The European space industry is distributed across all ESA countries, resulng in an important fragmentaon, parcularly in the smallest con-

tributors to ESA. Yet, the 6 major ESA contributors (France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain and Belgium) represent about 90 % of

employment. In principle, personnel is allocated to the country of acvity. This is parcularly relevant to companies who provide engineering

and other specialised services to space agencies and industry (e.g. Serco, Vega, RHEA, HE Space).

Note that country data in red is issued with a warning. The level of quesonnaire return within a country is below 60% of total, meaning that

the specific data point is based mostly on proxies rather than actual informaon. Please see also the Release notes and survey informaon.

Sector demographics

Employment in large groups

The space industrial sector is embedded in the larger aerospace and defence industrial

complex. About half the companies in the survey have es with the main industrial con-

glomerates, such as EADS, Thales, Finmeccanica and Safran. As a result, 76% (a few

receding from 2010) of space industry employees are working in large aerospace and

defence groups (see pie chart concerned).

These groups may also create specific JVs to undertake specific industrial tasks (e.g.

Europropulsion, Cryospace, UMS...).

With a view to securing supply of crical equipment, large groups tend to extend their

control in the supply chain with the absorpon of suppliers (and competors). Thus the

space sector counts a large number of small space units, but a rather limited number of

independent SMEs.

Note that for the sake of representaon we have associated all Thales Alenia Space

employees to Thales (67% control share) and all of the Telespazio group to Finmeccanica

(67% control share). UMS space personnel instead was evenly split between Thales and

EADS (50/50 JV).

SMEs in the space sector

In Eurospace 2011 survey 34 companies have formally qualified as SMEs (represenng a total

of 1774 employees), out of 85 small space businesses. Within this group, 51 small space busi-

nesses, worth 878 employees, may be SMEs but have not idenfied themselves as such.

Considering the uncertaines described above, it is ascertained that within the sector of

space systems manufacturing and development in Europe, the proporon of SMEs is com-

prised between 3% and 8% of total employment.

Employment distribuon by country: 2006"2011 evoluon

Only 6 European countries have direct space employment exceeding 1000 employees (below, le). Together these countries contribute more

than 90% of total space industry employment. The remaining 10% are unevenly distributed among 10 countries (below, right).

Note that total sales includes inter "sector sales, they are higher than final sales. Please refer to page 16 for explanaons

Final Sales by customer

Customers

Customers are organised by nature (public and

private) and by geographical locaon (Europe

and rest of the world).Public customers are all publicly funded instu-

ons, such as space agencies (ESA, NASA,

CNES...) or public satellite operators (Eumetsat,

Arabsat...). This category also includes military

enes. Private customers are all private en-

es, such as private satellite operators (SES

Global, Panamsat, Globalstar...) and other companies in the sector.

European industry can access a large array of customers, pub-

lic and private, in Europe and abroad, but its core business

remains with European public customers (54% of Final sales in

2011).

Comparison 2010"2011

Public and private customers

Commercial (private) customers represent, as a whole, 39% of indus-

try’s sales (2.4 B€), in growth from 2010. They are composed mainly

of private enes operang launchers or satellites, and as a result,

their purchases are concentrated on telecommunicaons systems

and operaonal launchers.

Instuonal (public) cus-

tomers are those govern-

ment funded enes that

pursue space programmes.

They represent 61% of

industry sales (3.8 B€, sta-

ble from 2010), and pro-

cure a wide variety of sys-

tems, with the excepon of

operaonal launcher sys-

tems and parts.

Public customers

Private customers

European sales vs. Exports

The sales of the European space industry are located mainly in

Europe (81% of final sales). Exports represent a smaller, but

significant share (19%).

European customers (5.2 B€)

are dominated by ESA (2.2 B€)

and Arianespace (0.71 B€).

Together, European private

operators represent an im-

portant share as well (0.95 B€).

Export sales (or sales to cus-tomers in the Rest of the

World , 1.12 B€) are more or

less evenly split between three

categories, public operators, private operators and sales to other

companies in the sector. It is interesng to note that exports are

almost exclusively composed of telecommunicaons systems.

Civil vs. military systems sales

European space industry products include military and civil systems. Civil system sales are sll the vast majority of sales (86.6%), but military

systems sales were stable in 2011. This growth was mainly supported by ground system sales, to military European customers.

With the evoluon of public procurement pracces, and

in parcularly the transfer of system ownership outside

the public domain, the procurement of military systems

is now spread across a variety of actors. This is why the

sales of military systems (851.5 M€) exceed the value of

sales to military instuons (410 M€). Military systemsare mainly sold to European customers (89%).

Final Sales by customer

European customers

European customers are, historically, the first customers of the Eu-

ropean industry, and they are sll the most important, both from

procurement volume and diversity points of view. In this group, ESA

stands out as the main contributor to European industry revenues.

ESA, at 2.2 B€ (growing from 2010), is by far the largest customer of

industry in Europe in 2011. Sales to ESA were in growth supported

by increased output from the launcher development programmes

and satellite applicaons supported by GMES and Galileo pro-

grammes delegaon from the EC.

ESA, as a technical agency, manages programmes of its own and

programmes funded by third pares, such as Eumetsat (the Mete-

osat programme) or the European Commission (The GMES sennels,

and Galileo procurement). These programmes are included in the

ESA figure. ESA procures in the full spectrum of systems and tech-

nologies available today in Europe, and is the sole customer for Hu-

man spaceflight systems. ESA is by far the largest European instu-

onal customer in all fields. Only in Earth observaon systems,

where the strategic dimension translates into the heavier implica-

on of naonal programmes, other European instuonal custom-

ers represent a sizeable market share.

Within instuonal customers in Europe, military enes represent

only 11.5% of final sales (395 M€, slightly receding from 2010), but

sales of military systems are higher (851 M€), as the procurement of

defence systems is oen delegated to civil agencies (CNES, DLR e.g.),

or to private enes with PPP schemes (Paradigm, Milsat, e.g.).

Overview

European customers vs. Exports (M€) Civil vs Military customers (M€)

2010 vs 2011 sales (M€)

The European space industry is acve in all areas of satellite

applicaons, as well as in launcher and scienfic programmes,

including human spaceflight.

Historically, European first ambions in space were focused

on scienfic satellites and launchers. These were the two

main areas of development of the industrial space sector in

Europe.

With the gradual maturaon of space technologies and sys-

tems, satellite applicaons have become the main source of

revenue for the European space industry, and the main driver

for business growth for the European industry, parcularly

within commercial markets for telecommunicaons systems.

However, in 2011 the increase of sales was supported by

growth in sales to instuonal customers mainly in the

launcher domain, in navigaon and observaon systems.

Customer structure by system

All products and systems have different customer structures.

When considering exports and domesc markets, it is interesng to

note that exports are almost exclusively composed of telecommu-

nicaons systems sales. Nearly all other systems produced by the

European industry are sold only to European customers.

This said, only 42 % of telecommunicaons systems produced by

European industry are exported, the rest are sold on the European

market.

From the perspecve of the cus-

tomer nature the situaon is

slightly different: commercial

(private) customers procure both

telecommunicaons satellites and

launcher systems. While instu-

onal customers procure all types

of systems, except operaonal

launcher systems that are exclu-sively procured by Arianespace in

Europe.

* note that in long series ground systems are included in satellite applicaons systems. Thus

values appear higher than in tables. See page 19: Release notes

Satellite applicaons systems are the main source of in-

come for the European industry (3.2 B€ i.e. 50% of final

sales), and is the main domain of exports (with 984 M€,

significantly decreasing from 2010). The two most important

segments in terms of income are telecommunicaons (far

beyond the two other ones) and Earth observaon. Within

satellite applicaons, posioning & navigaon is the seg-

ment with less export sales, it is today limited to instuon-

al customers in Europe (Galileo programmes).

Telecommunicaons systems (e.g. ASTRA 1N, Atlanc Bird7, ArabSat 5C) are the source of about 60% of the whole

satellite applicaons revenue. Telecommunicaons systems

are more easily exported than other systems, and in 2011

exports in telecoms represented 42% of total telecom sales.

Telecommunicaons systems sales exhibit an obvious cycli-

cal evoluon over me.

Main customers for telecommunicaons systems are private satel-

lite operators worldwide (almost 1.3 B€ sales, growing from 2010)

while public instuons represent almost 348 M€ (receding from

2010). Among the 1.3 B€ of commercial sales, European customers

represent 72 % of the sales.

Public satellite operators are the main export customers for tele-communicaon systems.

Earth Observaon systems includes both satellite systems (e.g.

GMES Sennels, Helios, Cosmo"Pleiades) and preparatory work

(e.g. EOPP). Most of the Earth observaon systems sales are with

instuonal customers, mostly in Europe.

Navigaon/localisaon systems, whereas the less important satel-

lite applicaon in value, it is gaining importance since a few years

due to the ESA/EC EGNOS and Galileo programmes. Despite a ra-

ther important drop between 2008 and 2009, sales in this area are

taking up since 2010 with the Galileo system procurement.

Launcher acvies include all operaonal launch system

producon funded by Arianespace and all launcher develop-

ment and consolidaon acvies funded mainly by ESA. The

trend on launcher business was flat to decreasing from the

beginning of the decade. Launcher producon reached a

peak in the year 2000 (with the dual exploitaon of Ariane 4

and Ariane 5 at CSG). Launcher development programmes

were stabilly decreasing since 1993 but did take up again in

2009 supported by Vega and Ariane 5 consolidaon and

evoluon.

The European space industry produces the Ariane system

operated by Arianespace. Ariane is the preferred choice of

launcher for commercial customers worldwide (see below

and page 15).

Launcher programmes include two very different, but com-

plementary market segments:

(1) Operaonal launcher systems: the space industry pro-

duces and integrates the Ariane launch system for Ari-

anespace. This is strictly a domesc market, although Arianespace

services are sold to customers worldwide. The industry producon

capability is limited by the current industrial structures to a maxi-

mum of 7"8 units a year.

Industry also exports launcher parts (e.g. fairings, nozzles) that are

integrated to non European launchers (e.g. Atlas, H2). This export

market is limited (2% of the total launcher sales).

(2) Launcher development: development programmes are funded

almost exclusively by ESA, they aim at preparing the future (e.g.

FLPP, Vega) or at consolidang and improving exisng technology

(e.g. ARTA, VERTA). The current level of expenditure (slightly above

400 M€ in 2011) includes acvies related to the consolidaon and

evoluon of the Ariane 5 system, and development acvies for the

small European launcher: Vega.

Launcher business will be strongly affected by decisions to be taken

at next ministerial council of ESA. A potenal growth is expected

from the start of Vega operaons (maiden flight occurred in Febru-

ary 2012). Another important milestone for the launcher industry

will be the qualificaon of Ariane 5 ME with the ECB/Vinci upper

stage.

The share of development programmes has been decreasing since

the early ninees, posing a challenge for the preservaon of com-

petences.

Scienfic programmes are promoted almost exclusively by instu-

onal European enes, at the forefront of which is ESA. Three

different types of programmes are included in this category :

Science programmes: design, development and producon of

spacecra oen with unique features for science programmes,

answering the requirements of various scienfic missions. This

business segment is mainly supported by ESA programmes com-

plemented by naonal programmes.

ISS and Human spaceflight programmes: they include systems

mostly relevant to the ISS development and operaons (sales of

systems such as ATV and the Cupola, are included here). Within

this market segment, as in launchers, the trend is decrease or

stability at best. This line of business is almost single "handedly

driven by ESA at European level.

Microgravity programmes: this is a small and specific area of

business consisng mainly in the development of experiments

(oen in racks) to be performed in microgravity environment,

either aboard the space staon, with sounding rockets or in drop

towers. This segment is by far the most confidenal within the

scienfic programmes.

This product category was introduced

with the new methodology in 2010,

there are no long series associated.

It aims at clearly idenfying three spe-

cific market segments of the space

sector that are not relevant to space

systems strictly speaking, but are sll in

the core competences of the space

manufacturing sector.

In 2011 Ground systems segment rep-

resented less than 15 % of total space

industry sales.

EGSE/MGSE: this category includes

all electrical and mechanical sup-

port equipment for manufacturing

and tesng of space systems in

development and manufacturing

processes.

Ground staons*: the categoryincludes all large professional

ground staons for data downlink,

TT&C, control centre hardware and

soware, and a control centre op-

eraons.

Services to industry: this category

includes the provision of services in

engineering, test and operaons, to

industries and agencies alike.

The ground systems and services mar-

ket is primarily a European market

(88%) with a majority of public custom-

ers (87%).

* Note that all consumer "end ground sta-

ons sales (e.g. VSAT terminals, GPS

handhelds, TV antenna etc.) are not included

Instuonal vs. Commercial spacecra

Historically, European spacecra were sold exclusively to instu-

ons (and all of them in Europe) with ESA, Naonal agencies and

Eumetsat being the main customers. The first commercial custom-

ers for European spacecra were also European, but they were

soon joined by export customers.

European spacecra deliveries

European spacecra launched in 2011

The European satellite industry was involved in the producon of

34 spacecra launched in 2011 (28 in 2010):

31 were built on a European plaorm and flew a European

payload (fully European systems) (26 in 2010).

2 were built on a non European plaorm and flew a European

payload (AMOS"5 & Megha"Tropiques) (idem 2010).

1 was built on a European plaorm and flew a non European

payload (Ekspress"AM 04).

The full 2010 list can be seen on the right.

Customers in bold & underlined are public instuons, the others

are commercial customers.

Quantave spacecra mass series

In the graphs below we present historic series of European space-

cra at year of launch. These series are presented in mass

(spacecra mass at launch, tons) . Spacecra mass is an imperfect

indicator of spacecra value, it is however quite correlated with

industry revenues (as shown below).

Ariane launches

Ariane 5 launches of 2011

In 2011 the European

launcher industry deliv-

ered five Ariane"5 sys-

tems for launch by Ari-

anespace.

The launchers were used

to lo 8 geostaonary

telecommunicaons

satellites and one ATV2.

All the satellites were

successfully inserted in

geostaonary transfer

orbit, and the ATV launch

was successful as well.

The total mass launched

by Ariane"5 in 2011 was

53.3 tons (33.3 w/o ATV),

for 4 dual satellite launches and one ATV2 launch. The aver-

age mass launched by Ariane"5 in 2010 was 10.6 tons (8.3

w/o the ATV).

Ariane system users

Between 1991 and 2011, a total of 175 Ariane launchers

were delivered for launch in Kourou. 107 were Ariane 4 sys-

tems, and 68 were Ariane 5 systems. The Ariane system has

been used mainly to launch spacecra in geostaonary or-

bit, although on occasions it was used to serve other orbits.

The Ariane system has been used mainly by commercial

customers. European instuonal customers (ESA, Eumetsat

and naonal Agencies in Europe) are not the main custom-

ers of the Ariane system.

It is interesng to note that only European instuonal cus-

tomers have used Ariane for non geostaonary desnaons,

such as the ATV launches of 2008 and 2011 (in low Earth

orbit). European instuonal customers also used Ariane for

geostaonary launches (e.g. Syracuse 3A in 2005).

Ariane launched mass by customer (tons)

Ariane launches vs. industry revenues (current M€)

Industry sales to Arianespace

The value of industry sales to Arianespace is correlated to

the number of launchers delivered to Arianespace in a given

year. However not all systems are launched in the year of

delivery; industry revenues from Arianespace also include a

share of services provided at Kourou for launcher integra-

on and launcher operaons—thus the profiles of launches

and payments are not perfectly aligned. The graph (top

right) shows that, in average, Ariane 5 is more expensive

than Ariane 4. The two systems are indeed very different,

with Ariane 5 offering a much greater (more than double)

launch capacity than its predecessor.

Introducon to the survey

In June 2011 Eurospace, the associaon of

European space manufacturing industry, is-

sued the annual update of its Facts & Figures

stascal series. This is the 16th

edion of the

survey.

Since its incepon, the stascal collecon

aims at measuring the value of the market

for space systems design, development and

producon in Europe (i.e. the space industry

manufacturing acvity). Space systems are

defined in detail (see “products definions”)

in order to ensure an appropriate data collec-

on and to avoid misinterpretaon of the

data sets.

This stascal effort is supported by two main

driving principles:

The focus on manufacturing acvies

(with the exclusion of all services related

to the exploitaon of space systems:

launch services and satellite operaons).

Service acvies associated to the manu-

facturing process of space systems (such

as engineering and test services, consul-

tancies etc.) are included in the perimeter

of the survey. A share of ground systems

operaons are included also, when they

are performed for Space agencies in Eu-

rope.

The effort to measure the value of the

end"market, with the eliminaon of all

inter"sectoral business that could be

counted twice or more.

Perimeter of the survey

The Eurospace facts & figures survey focuses

on measuring the economic value of industri-al acvies associated to the design, develop-

ment and manufacturing of space systems

(also called the upstream sector) in Europe.

It does not consider non"space products (such

as missiles or consumer"end terminals such as

GPS receivers, Satellite TV receivers and dish-

es, etc.) nor the provision of services based

on the exploitaon of space assets. This

means that the revenues and employment of

such companies as: Eutelsat, Paradigm, In-

marsat, Arianespace, SES Global, and otheroperators are not included in the perimeter

of the survey.

Data Collecon

The data collecon is supported by compa-

nies with space acvies operang in Europe

(not limited to Eurospace membership). Com-

panies answer a quesonnaire providing de-

tailed informaon on their sales and employ-

ment relevant to space systems design, devel-

opment and manufacturing. All informaon

released to Eurospace is protected by a confi-

denality agreement. The quality of the sur-

vey is only as good as the data provided by

parcipang companies.

Most companies in the space manufacturing

sector have parcipated at least once to Eu-

rospace survey in the past. The main players(companies with more than 100 space em-

ployees) usually support the survey on a very

regular basis, while smaller players may only

support the survey sporadically. When a reply

is missing from a company, it is supplemented

by an esmate based on a previous reply

received from that company, and/or publicly

available informaon on the company.

The space manufacturing sector in Europe is

at the same me very fragmented and very

concentrated. The 30 largest space units inEurope make for almost 80% of total employ-

ment of the sector. The remaining smaller

players represenng barely 20% of employ-

ment. It is also interesng to note that all

smaller players work almost exclusively as

subcontractors to the largest players.

From a stascal point of view, this means

that an efficient data collecon shall focus on

collecng at least the main replies (the large

players, and parcularly the prime contrac-

tors) that will provide a good assessment offinal sales. Collecng addional replies from

increasingly smaller players, adds a layer of

detail to the survey and increases marginally

the measurement of employment; but does

not affect the overall value of final sales and

has a marginal economic impact.

Deflators

Series in constant 2011 economic condions

(1991"2011) were produced by applying OECD

EU27 consumer price index deflators.

Consolidaon Model

In the Space sector, as with many other indus-

trial sectors, the delivery of a complex system

involves the parcipaon of a large number

of companies at various stages of the devel-

opment and producon processes. This trans-

lates into a complex contractual chain, where

one prime contractor signs with the customer

and then divides the work among itself and

many subcontractors.

The need for consolidaon

When considering the revenues generated

within the whole supply chain by the produc-

on of one space system, with the mecha-

nism of subcontracts the cumulated value of

all contracts exceeds the value of the system

itself. This is due to the fact that without con-

solidaon, some subcontracts are counted

twice.

Within a given perimeter, the consolidaon of

sales can be done in two ways: either by

measuring the consolidated sales at company

level (total sales minus the value of subcon-

tracts), either by measuring the final sales at

company level (total sales minus inter"sector

sales, relevant to subcontracted work). With-

in a given perimeter the value of consolidated

sales and final sales are idencal.

Methodological update in 2011

Inially, the Eurospace survey was based on

a methodology focusing on measuring the

consolidated sales (i.e. the value of sales,

minus the value of purchases within the sec-

tor). In 2010 Eurospace implemented a new

methodology based on the accurate measure

of final sales, including the idenficaon ofsales to other companies in the sector (not

provided before). This methodological update

was required because there were growing

uncertaines with the data consolidaon

acvies, due to missing, inaccurate or in-

complete returns, parcularly with regard to

the measure of purchases within the appro-

priate perimeter.

All efforts have been made to preserve full

data consistency throughout historic series,

and the objecve was achieved at the ex-pense of correcons applied to previous

years’ data sets. These correcons have been

rather minor.

Methodology & Definions




Methodology & Definions

The European space sector is at the same me very con-

centrated and highly fragmented. As a result, it is com-

posed of a small number of rather large space units

(notably at Astrium, Thales Alenia Space and Snecma) and a

quite extensive number of very small space units.

Are worth nong:

The 10 largest space units in Europe represent 52% of

the total employment. The 20 largest space units in Europe represent 66% of

the total employment.

The 30 largest space units represent 75% of the total

employment. All smaller space units have employment

of less than 250.

The 100 smaller space units represent a total of 1380

direct employees, i.e. an average of 13.8 employees

per unit.

The average space unit size is 174 employees. There

are 42 space units with more than 174 employees, and

163 space units with less than 174 employees.

Sector concentraon: employment in space units, employment by unit and cumulated %

Space systems and related products considered in the survey

Eurospace survey is product oriented, i.e. it measures sales of well

idenfied products: space systems. Space systems are organised in

three different categories: launcher systems and parts, spacecra

systems and parts, ground systems and parts. Each product/system

category is split in relevant subcategories.

Launcher systems

The category only considers space launchers, all missile acvity is

excluded from the perimeter of the survey. Launcher systems are

further split between operaonal launcher systems and parts (sold to

launcher integrators and to launch services operators) and launcher

development acvies (funded by space agencies, so far).

Spacecra/satellite systems

The category includes all items desned to leave the

Earth atmosphere and operate in space, either to deliver

operaonal services in Earth orbit (satellite applicaons

systems), either in to perform scienfic mission in Earth

orbit and beyond (scienfic systems).

Satellite applicaons include: telecommunicaons

systems, Earth observaon systems (including mete-

orology) and navigaon systems (e.g. Galileo)

Scienfic systems include: science programmes (such

as Gaia, Venus Express), human infrastructure pro-

grammes (such as ISS contribuons and ATV), and

microgravity equipment (racks and experiment mod-

ules to perform microgravity experiments aboard the

ISS and other microgravity environments).

Ground systems (and related services)

Ground systems include those equipment and services not desned

to leave the Earth atmosphere that are nonetheless associated to

space systems development and producon as well as mission opera-

ons and support. They include:

Specific manufacturing, integraon and test equipment used by

space companies (such as EGSE, MGSE, test benches....).

Professional ground staons (for TT&C and Upload/Download

operaons) and ground control centres.

Engineering, consultancy and other services to industry (including

control staon operaons for ESA).

Eurospace economic model

The Eurospace facts & figures economic model included 205 companies in 2011.

The companies listed below are those having provided updated sales and employment informaon for the year 2011. The regular contribu-on of major space players in Europe ensures the accuracy of Eurospace facts & figures economic assessment of European space manufac-

turing acvity.

For all other companies, proxy data was used in the model. Proxy data is elaborated using informaon provided in previous years (when

available) and/or informaon available from public sources, mainly the European Space Directory and company websites.

2011 Survey stascs: quesonnaire return rate in % of units, sales, employment

The survey rate of return, measured in number of units was very

low this year, only 30%. But thanks to the good support of large

players, the 62 quesonnaires returned represent 86% of final

sales data compiled and 74% of space employment.

Survey release notes

Long series informaon

Long series are built by compiling data collected with two differentmethodologies.

From 1991 to 1995 only a few types of customers and products were

considered. In 1996 the customer and products list were gradually

expanded in order to provide addional details. The following catego-

ries were introduced:

For customers: The European Commission (in 1996).

Eumetsat (in 2002).

Civil mullateral programmes (from 2002 to 2008, now disconn-

ued " before the data was included in Naonal civil programmes).

Private satellite operators, other commercial satellites and parts,

Arianespace, and other launcher sales—before the data was bun-

dled into one single category: commercial and exports.

For products: Navigaon systems (in 1996) " before the data was included in

telecommunicaons.

Launcher development and Operaonal launcher systems (in

1996) " before all launcher acvies were bundled together.

About ground systems and services: Before 2009, all sales of professional ground staons (TT&C and

data staons, control centres) and related services (such as

ground segment operaons) were included in the associated

product category (telecoms, science, Earth Observaon, etc.).

A major methodological update was performed in 2009, that en-

tailed some changes in the data series, and in parcular: Military system sales are counted separately from military cus-

tomers sales.

All ground segment acvies are clearly separated from the rest,

this includes the sales of professional staons and control centre

operaons, as well a services to industry.

In all long series, the data is harmonised to ensure connuity.

Tracking: When a new company is included or removed from the

economic model we call this a perimeter change. Perimeter changes

have an impact on figures since they may introduce a disconnuity

with previous years. The details (and orders of magnitude) of these

changes are provided below.

2011 / France: Two new companies were included in the survey

perimeter: Altran & Telespazio France. The addion of these com-

panies in the model increments the employment figures by 700

FTE and final sales by 60 M€ over 2010.

2011 / United kingdom: Two new enes were included in the

model this year: RAL and ABSL Space productst. This addion

impacted on the model with an addional 260 FTE in the direct

employment figures. The impact on final sales was negligible.

2010 / Switzerland: Mecanex and HTS are now consolidated in

RUAG. Space Units removed from Model. No impact on figures.

RUAG changed segment, from launcher segment to spacecra

segment (impact –500 FTE in launcher segment, +500 in space-

cra segment).

2010 / France: correct allocaon of Thales employment by geogra-

phical locaon: Impact "250 FTE (moved to Germany). Two new

companies added to model: MAP and STEEL Electronique. Modest

impact on employment +55 FTE.

2010 / Germany: New Space Unit added to model: Thales Germany,

correct allocaon of Thales employment by geographical locaon:

Impact +250 FTE.

2010 / Netherlands: Three new companies added to model: Cosine

BV, NLR and HE Space Holding BV. Significant impact on employ-

ment +180 FTE.

2010 / United Kingdom: Two new space units added to model: ESR

Technology Ltd and Selex Galileo Ltd. Modest impact on employ-

ment: +30 FTE.

2009 figures updated: retroacve correcon of values based on

inputs received in 2011. Notable impact on France (+1000 em-

ployees) and on UK (+103 employees). Correcon jusficaon:

Model error (France), redeployment of employees by work loca-on (UK).
