named in a public source · no deployment on file
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Airbus Defence and Space.
In Research, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Airbus Defence and Space developed and built the JUICE spacecraft for the European Space Agency and served as the main contractor for the mission. Airbus’s space exploration work is centered in Toulouse, France, and the JUICE page notes the program involved more than 2,000 people across 80 partners in 23 countries.
