With nearly 15,000 jobs spread over more than 400 establishments, Occitanie is the French, and indeed European, space industry region where a myriad of companies, cutting-edge research centers and prestigious schools orbit the industry's « stars » - the National Center for Space Studies, Airbus Defence and Space and Thaies Aienia Space.

Thanks to a wealth of new interviews, this beautifully-illustrated book helps you discover how space applications serve communities, security, science and knowledge-sharing every day.

A space galaxy that attracts innovative stakeholders to Occitanie from all over the world.
