Breaking: Eutelsat’s ground infrastructure sale falls through

01/29/2026 BREAKING NEWS Eutelsat's ground infrastructure sale falls through Eutelsat said a planned sale of its passive ground infrastructure to a private equity firm announced in August 2024 will not proceed in a Jan. 29 announcement, eliminating roughly 550 million euros ($658 million) in expected proceeds. The transaction would have seen Eutelsat carve out land, buildings, antennas and other passive infrastructure assets and sell a majority stake to EQT Infrastructure VI, creating what the operator said would be the world's largest pure-play, operator-neutral ground station-as-a-service company. —By Jason Rainbow Read Now Subscribe to SpaceNews This email has been sent to generalastronomy110.stnirp@blogger.com because you previously opted in to receive breaking news alerts from SpaceNews.
