Recent Corporate Development
OHB SE has secured a new contract for a component of a lunar station, underscoring its expanding footprint within the European space infrastructure arena. The order adds to an existing backlog exceeding EUR 3 billion, signalling sustained demand for the firm’s space‑systems expertise.
