The Company

ArianeGroup is a world leader in access to space, working for its institutional and commercial customers and Europe’s strategic independence.

The perfect innovative, highly competitive solution for civil and military launch systems and space applications – that’s what we give our institutional, commercial, and industrial customers. We are expert in the most cutting-edge technologies, from all aspects of complete propulsion systems right down to the items of equipment and materials. We leverage all of this expertise, the unique knowledge of our teams, into benefiting the space, defense, energy, and other industrial sectors, with high value-added products, equipment and services.

Our activities cover the entire life-cycle of a launcher: design, development, production, operation and commercial service, the latter through our subsidiary Arianespace. We build and operate Ariane 5, the most reliable launcher on the commercial market today, and we are developing the next-generation Ariane 6 launcher, for which we are the design authority.

ArianeGroup springs from the shared ambition of Airbus and Safran to take the European space industry to the highest possible level.
