Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Aerospacelab is a Belgian venture-backed satellite maker whose MEGAFACTORY (opening 2026) is billed as Europe's largest satellite production site (capacity 500 satellites a year), on top of existing own-design bus production heritage. It is part of the 2026 European capacity race (with EnduroSat and Muon), betting on EU sovereignty demand (IRIS2, defense constellations), with US expansion underway. Revenue is estimated at 10-100m.

Thales Alenia Space designs and builds satellites for telecommunications, Earth observation, meteorology, defense and science, including IRIS², Sentinel-1 NG and MTG.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Thales Alenia Space is a European satellite prime (a Thales 67% / Leonardo 33% JV) spanning telecom, Earth observation, and exploration, with IRIDE constellation work, ISS and Cygnus/Axiom module heritage, and parentage of the LeoStella JV. It is a party to the European space-merger MoU with Airbus and Leonardo, and the JV structure itself is what that merger would reorganize. Segment financials are program-scoped (a dedicated filings pass owed).
