HE Space has been acquired by CS Group

With this acquisition, CS Group increases its European presence in space to nearly 800 employees. The group would thus strengthen its installed base in the Netherlands, Germany and France and expand its development prospects in Spain and the UK.

Founded in 1982 by NASA veteran Scott Millican, HE Space is a space engineering specialist with a long heritage and track record in the space industry and ranked a Best Supplier to ESA in the fields of component engineering, earth observation, communication and outreach, structures, thermal engineering and environmental testing.

CS Group, initially known as CS Communication & Systèmes, is a French information technology service company listed on the Paris Stock Exchange as a member of the CAC Small index.
