Hellas Sat, CNES, Thales Alenia Space and Safran sign a framework cooperation agreement to develop a pioneering optical communications system for the future Hellas Sat 5 satellite: https://shorturl.at/YoO8a This partnership will deliver ultra-high-performance, very high-throughput data transfer services from geostationary orbit, enabling faster, more secure and more resilient satellite communications for critical applications. It is built on CNES’s SOLiS project, led by Thales Alenia Space in cooperation with Safran, and will demonstrate very high-data-rate laser communications services through the atmosphere. This collaboration is a technological leap forward which strengthens cooperation between France, Cyprus and Greece and will contribute to shape Europe's secure connectivity architecture of the 2030 decade. We were honored by the presence at this ceremony of Nikos Christodoulides, President of the Republic of Cyprus, Dimitrios Terzis, Secretary General for Research and Innovation, Greek Ministry of Development and Stavros Stavrou, President of Cyprus Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
