## Editorial
OHB System AG is a German space systems prime and satellite manufacturer with sites in Bremen and Oberpfaffenhofen.[^ohb-space-systems] Its space-systems work covers satellite platforms, payloads, and subsystems for Earth observation, navigation, telecommunications, security, reconnaissance, and exploration missions.[^ohb-space-systems] The company's heritage includes SAR-Lupe, the contract that established it as a systems provider, and weather-satellite work including Meteosat Third Generation.[^ohb-history] SARah is the successor reconnaissance system to SAR-Lupe in the Bundeswehr context.[^bundeswehr-sarah-2] OHB System's EO-facing activity sits in spacecraft, payload, subsystem, weather-satellite, and security-orbit programme work rather than downstream EO data services.[^ohb-space-systems][^ohb-history]
