Airbus is considering selling its U.S. space business and plans to create a pan-European satellite leader through a three-way merger. According to sources familiar with the matter, Airbus is evaluating potential buyers' interest in its U.S. space business, which includes a factory in Florida and the "Arrow" series of small satellites. These satellites can be mass-produced for applications in commercial and government communications, Earth imaging, and national security. Airbus declined to comment on the market rumors.
