Intersputnik International Organization of Space Communications is an intergovernmental organization established in 1971 that unites 25 countries. The Organization is tasked to contribute to the strengthening and development of economic, scientific, technical and cultural relations by communications and broadcasting via satellites, as well as to ensure the cooperation and coordination of efforts in the design, establishment, operation, and development of the Intersputnik international satellite telecommunications system.

A unique status of Intersputnik allows scaling up its commercial activities through international cooperation. Intersputnik provides customers from all continents with the bandwidth on commercial communications satellites of most satellite operators, as well as with a full range of advanced satellite communications and broadcasting services.

Intersputnik is a member of ITU, IAF, GSOA and an observer in UN COPUOS.

GMV provides engineering, software development and turnkey systems integration since 1984 for eight different markets worldwide: Space, Aeronautics, Defense, Security, Telecommunications, Transport, Healthcare and IT.

Throughout these years, GMV has provided the Space market with consultancy, specification, design, implementation, deployment, maintenance and operations of systems in the areas of satellite control, flight dynamics, mission data processing, mission analysis, mission planning, and navigation systems and applications.

GMV is a trusted partner of Space Agencies, prime satellite manufacturers and leading satellite operators worldwide, and our systems are installed in five continents.

GMV’s portfolio for satellite control includes a full range of multi-mission, multi-satellite products for satellite operations: hifly® for real-time satellite monitoring and control, focusSuite for flight dynamics operations, smartrings for telecommunications satellite payload management and reconfiguration, and flexplan for mission planning.

Leading satellite operators and space agencies worldwide use GMV technology operationally in more than 292 satellites from seven different manufacturers.

GapSat provides satellite operators an entire commercial geostationary communications satellite at their orbital slot, when they need it, for as long as they need it, and move it away afterwards. Applications include meeting surge capacity requirements, seeding business at a new orbital slot, recovery from launch or in-orbit failure and protection of slot filings. Typical missions last from 3 months, for regulatory purposes, to up to three years, while a new satellite is being built and launched.

Our basic offering is the lease of traditional in-orbit geostationary satellites. However, through partnerships, are able to offer small satellites with payloads of around 6 transponders as well as life extension services for operators that wish to continue to use their own satellites when their fuel is running out but have electronics are still healthy. We use propellant gauging to independently determine the remaining fuel with higher reliability than traditional fuel bookkeeping. Then we can either extend the life with the remaining fuel or provide a servicing mission using a small satellite that attaches to the operator’s host satellite to provide a range of services including: life-extension, relocation, deorbiting and orbit and inclination correction manoeuvres using a non-intrusive universal docking system.

Eutelsat S.A. is the leading European satellite operator and one of the three top operators in the world for the supply of fixed satellite services.
