to DKK 2.3 billion over the coming 3 years, an
increase of DKK 1.4 billion compared to previous
budget period. With ongoing growth, European
space budgets are expected to support continued
market growth, where Rovsing with only retention
of current market share should see growth in
coming years
built by European industry. Rovsing has already
secured multiple contracts and is working on 4 out
of 6 satellites with different primes (LSTM, ROSE-
L, CIMR and CRISTAL). The tendering phase for the
continuation of the Sentinel missions under the
Copernicus space component has also begun, with
Rovsing already responding to several tenders.

Tender activity is increasing and expected to
continue to increase, with Rovsing supporting
customers by providing bids for upcoming key
missions under the European Commission, ESA and
national and commercial programmes. The
Company expects decisions on several ongoing
tenders during the 2025/26 financial year, as well as
the initiation of new contract activities in the
second half of the financial year.
In June 2023, Rovsing and customer TAS-I
conducted the successful Kick-off of the CIMR
UMB/COTE SCOE project, however due to
progamme changes the project has been on hold
but is expected to resume during H2 2025/26.
The ROSE-L Power EGSEs were awarded to
Rovsing by TAS-I in July 2023. The project was on
hold awaiting changes from the customer until the
autumn of 2024. The PDR was concluded
successfully in March 2024. The CDR has been
conducted, and the first deliveries are expected
during H2 2025/26.
The Rovsing team continued work on the large
Galileo Second Generation (G2G) EGSEs project for
customer Thales Alenia Space (TAS) Italy. Several
deliveries and milestones were completed during
2025/26. The project is in the final stages of the
recurring system delivery phase. However, due to
the already incurred extensive delays on the
programme, the efforts needed to complete the
project and with increased cost of materials since
the contract start, the impact on the project
profitability is negatively impacted. Rovsing seeks
to have these additional costs recovered by the
customer and seeks to have an agreement in place
before final deliveries in 2025/26.
Rovsing delivered the FORUM Thermal EGSE to
OHB during H1 2025/26. Having also previously
delivered the FORUM Platform Emulator SCOE to
OHB. FORUM is an ESA mission which will measure
Earth’s outgoing radiation in the far-infrared part of
the electromagnetic spectrum that has never been
measured from space before.
Rovsing has continued support for the Artemis
missions with the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew
Vehicle (MPCV) European Service Module (ESM).
Four Solar Array Wing Front End Equipment (SAW
FEE) systems are deployed, two with Airbus DS in
Bremen and Ariane Group in Les Mureaux, one with
Lockheed Martin in Colorado for the Integrated
Test Lab and the fourth with NASA at the Kennedy
Space Center. Three MPCV-ESM PCDU EGSE have
also been delivered to Leonardo in Milan. As part of
the NASA Artemis and Lunar Gateway
programmes, ESA has committed to providing
additional ESMs. In this connection Rovsing is
continuing to provide key engineering support both
remote & onsite as well as spare parts and
upgrades.
The Mars Sample Return (MSR) programme is in
the process of being restructured as the NASA
contributions to the programme have been
stopped. This affects three of our contracts under
MSR, all of which have already been at standstill or
low progress for extensive time period. Rovsing
expects close-out of the contracts during H2
2025/26 and full compensation for costs incurred.
For customer SITAEL S.p.A in Italy, Rovsing has
delivered several UMB SCOE systems in recent
years. SITAEL has ordered towards end of 2025 a
recurring UMB SCOE for delivery during H2
2025/26.
In H1 2025/26, Rovsing delivered to Airbus DS in
Germany the Simulation Front-End for the GRACE-
C mission.
The European Commission Copernicus programme
provides vital data from satellites which help
address challenges such as urbanisation, food
security, rising sea levels, diminishing polar ice,
natural disasters and, of course, climate change.
Rovsing has contributed to many of the current
suite of Sentinel satellite missions. Looking to the
future, the capabilities of the Copernicus space
component will be enhanced by six new satellites
(CO2M, LSTM, CHIME, ROSE-L, CIMR and
CRISTAL), currently being developed by ESA and
TAS-Italy awarded Rovsing with a contract to
deliver several Satellite Interface Simulators for the
ESA EnVision mission in March 2025. After
significant changes the CDR was completed during
H1 2025/26 and the TRR datapack for set 1 was
delivered before Christmas. However, due to NASA
contributions being unsure, further changes are
expected and priority has shifted at beginning of
