Starsem is a French-Russian company that was created in 1996 to commercialise the Soyuz launcher internationally. Starsem is headquartered in Évry, France (near Paris) and has the following shareholders:[1]
- ArianeGroup (35%)
- Arianespace (15%)
- Roscosmos (25%)
- Progress Rocket Space Centre (25%)
Consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, all Soyuz launches performed via Starsem were suspended indefinitely.[2] This is also evident by the lack of news releases on the Starsem website since then, with the last headline from February 15, 2022.
