Astrium Services - The world’s most advanced, resilient, secure and flexible military satellite communications service Astrium Services supplies military hardened satellite communications, primarily to the UK armed forces but also to a range of other governments and organisations around the world. Our military satellite communications (Milsatcom) services are delivered through the three Skynet 5 satellites launched between 2007 and 2008. The satellites can be precisely controlled so that pinpoint voice, internet, and broadcast communications can be directed to any part of the globe. Skynet 5 has been designed to meet the needs of the UK armed forces through to 2022 at least. Under the terms of our arrangements with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), the massive additional capacity designed into the system can be made available to other military and government users, including NATO.
