The article reports on the increase revenue by several European space contractors after focusing on services. They are Astrium, Thales /Finmecanica Space Alliance, satellite maker Alenia Space and service provider Telepazio. It states that each of them acquired telecom satellite orders that equaled to the haul of Space Systems/Loral. It adds that these contractors benefited from the wider availability of guarantees from French export credit agency Coface, which help offset a weak dollar.
