ESA order strengthens space position
The contract is valued at EUR 554 million and includes an option for a second satellite. OHB System, a subsidiary of OHB SE, will act as prime contractor and work with a European industrial consortium.
The S3-NGT mission is part of the European Union's Copernicus Earth observation programme. Its radar altimeters are intended to improve measurements of ocean surfaces, coastal regions, sea ice and inland waters, with better coverage, shorter revisit times and more precise sea-level readings than current Sentinel-3 satellites.

OHB's investor-relations calendar lists publication of the group's nine-month 2026 results and an earnings call for November 12. The company says it operates across Space Systems, Access to Space and Digital and employs approximately 4,000 people.
