European Space Agency Picks Sener Of Spain To Lead Proba-3 Project

摘要

Sener of Spain will be system prime contractor for the two-satellite Proba-3 formation-flying technology demonstrator under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) that funds the project through its critical design review but does not yet include hardware construction. Up to now, ESA has secured funding, notably from Belgium and Spain, for the design work on Proba-3 but is still waiting for additional funds to pursue the work beyond mid-2012, when the contract is scheduled to be completed, according to Diego Rodriguez, head of Sener's space department.
