BERLIN, Aug 31 (Reuters) – German satellite maker OHB (OHBG.DE), said on Monday it had signed a contract worth nearly €1 billion ($1.17 billion) with European satellite operator SES to develop and produce 18 medium-Earth-orbit satellite platforms.
The satellites will form a core part of the IRIS network, Europe’s planned multi-orbit communications constellation designed to provide secure and resilient satellite services, it added.
