Gore Technology Enables Airbus Mobile Communications Satellite for UAE's Thuraya Series with Space42

Gore provides advanced cable solutions to Airbus for Thuraya 4 telecommunications satellite, built for Yahsat Space Services at Space42, the UAE-based, AI-powered SpaceTech company.

PLEINFELD, Germany. (April 2025) — Enabled by technology from W. L. Gore & Associates, Thuraya 4, a geostationary telecommunications satellite, was successfully launched into orbit at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida on January 3, 2025. Gore’s proven solutions, including GORE® High Speed Data Cables and GORE® Microwave/RF Assemblies for Spaceflight Applications, are designed and manufactured at its plants in Pleinfeld, Germany, and Dundee, United Kingdom. These technologies play a key role in enabling the satellite’s reliable, durable connectivity, high data rates, and communications coverage.

Thuraya 4, the next-generation mobile communications system, expands global communications connectivity across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Gore’s collaboration with the prime contractor ensured seamless integration, an efficient build, and on-time delivery for the all-electric Airbus Eurostar Neo Platform, the basis of Thuraya’s expanded capabilities. Airbus shipped the satellite from Toulouse, France to the launch site via its BelugaST “heavy lift” aircraft.

As one of the largest MSS (mobile satellite services) satellites ever produced, Thuraya 4 will enable Space42 to cover a greater spectrum and support customers across multiple industries, including defense, government, and enterprise.

According to Mark McKinnie, Gore’s Director of Strategic Accounts: “Our long-standing partnership with Airbus was key to the smooth build of high-performance, advanced cable solutions for Thuraya 4, ensuring on-time delivery and mission success.” Gore leveraged decades of heritage in developing innovative space technologies to deliver proven, highperforming solutions.

During manufacturing, Airbus teams made regular visits to Gore’s Pleinfeld Plant, where the enterprise produces cables, cable assemblies, and aircraft sealants. To meet the increasing demand of aerospace customers, Gore is expanding the factory floor to more than 5,000 square meters. Matt Ballam, Commodity Manager at Airbus Defence and Space, emphasizes: “Everyone was extremely responsive and supportive of the Airbus requirements and couldn't have done more to help. This has become the norm when working with Gore, and Airbus recognizes the reliability of the team and products and looks forward to continuing our strategic partnership in the future.”
