Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), announces that it has signed a contract with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to implement NASA's SBG-TIR (Surface Biology & Geology - Thermal Infrared) Earth observation mission.

This contract follows a 2023 agreement between ASI and NASA for this mission, which aims, among other things, to provide radiometric and multispectral measurements of terrestrial and aquatic emissions for climate, ecological and geological analysis.

Within this framework, Thales Alenia Space will be responsible for integrating the SBG-TIR satellite, adapting the PRIMA-S platform to accommodate a TIR spectrometer, and carrying out the tests required for the mission's success.
