Launchers are an inspiring and visible part of humanity’s dream to explore and expand beyond Earth’s atmosphere into space. The mastering of the balance between extreme conditions governed by complex physics is a demonstration of technological maturity and excellence, enabling us to use the specificities of space for our benefit, both commercially and institutionally. Competitive and guaranteed access to end-to-end space transportation will further accelerate the emergence of new space economies by reducing the access barriers for customers, be it either in Low Earth Orbit for constellations, observation and navigation satellites, space stations, or geostationary orbit providing ‘fixed point in the sky’ satellites or towards the moon and beyond for Exploration and Scientific goals.

At ArianeGroup we are actively preparing the future at the service of our customers, however their needs will evolve. This requires a flexible and modular approach, both on the launcher, as well as on follow-on in-orbit transportation products and services. We will present our approach focusing around the following 5 domains:

·         Propulsion solutions for all destinations
·         Cutting edge equipment and sensors for New Space
·         Light and stable composite structures in Space
·         Space Security and Space traffic solutions
·         Deep Space critical solutions

ArianeGroup is looking forward to presenting you our vision and discussing the future of Enabling Space for Europe!
