Market Overview

Satellite servicing is the term used for a range of activities performed in space such as repairing, refueling, upgrading, and even extending the life of satellites that were already launched. This practice not only ensures that satellites are operating at their best but also helps to minimize space pollution. In France, the satellite servicing market is developing at a very fast pace owing to the increasing number of satellite launches, which in turn, lead to a greater reliance on communication, navigation, and Earth observation satellites, alongside government support for space innovations. Major market players are investing in technologies like robotic arms, autonomously operated docking systems, and in-space refueling stations. The market is essentially powered by the necessity of improving satellite life, cutting down the costs of replacing them, and applying eco-friendly measures in space operations. Not only this, but the partnerships of aerospace companies, startups, and research institutes also contribute to a faster development of satellite servicing solutions that can place France among the significant players in the global on-orbit servicing ecosystem.
