OHB SE is one of Europe's leading space and technology companies, serving as a prime contractor for Galileo navigation satellites, Copernicus Earth observation missions, and national security space programs. As a family-controlled, publicly listed company headquartered in Bremen, OHB provides Europe with independent satellite manufacturing and systems integration capacity outside the Airbus-Thales duopoly. The company's growing portfolio in satellite-based reconnaissance and secure communications makes it a critical contributor to European strategic autonomy in space, particularly as demand for sovereign orbital infrastructure accelerates.
