Bulgarian company to rely on French rockets to launch satellites

Bulgaria and France are opening the door to deep and fruitful cooperation in the fields of high technology and space. This was what Prime Minister Rumen Radev told journalists after he and President Emmanuel Macron attended a ceremony at the Élysée Palace, where EnduroSat and Arianespace signed a memorandum of understanding.

Rumen Radev is visiting Paris at the invitation of the President of France to attend the International Space Summit, the government press service reported. The Prime Minister pointed out that Bulgarian company EnduroSat is one of the fastest-growing in the sphere of space technology. In recent years, it has manufactured and launched more small satellites into orbit than all other European companies combined. The Bulgarian company is already investing in France and may use French rockets to launch its satellites into orbit, BGNES reports.
