About Us
VEGA is one of the leading names in the
European Space sector, working with Space agencies, satellite
operators and manufacturers worldwide. We support the full
programme lifecycle to ensure that the design, development and
operation of Space missions meet the programme goals.
Founded in 1978, VEGA now employs over 300
highly-qualified staff in the Space domain, working for our
companies in the UK, Germany, France and Spain. We have a
first-class reputation for innovation and pragmatism, providing
consulting and engineering services and developing technology
solutions to help guarantee the success of our clients’ Space
programmes and initiatives.
We can look back on the past 30 years of
involvement in almost every European Space Agency mission and many
other European and international programmes. Looking forward, we
are working hard to evolve our technology and improve the quality
and efficiency of our services to enable us to remain at the
forefront of national and international Space endeavours.
In 2008, VEGA Group PLC was acquired by
Finmeccanica SpA and is now part of SELEX Systems Integration Ltd,
a Finmeccanica subsidiary. Recognising the value of VEGA’s position
in the international Space market, from 2009, SELEX SI will trade
in the Space market under the name of VEGA through its UK, German,
French and Spanish subsidiaries.
