With roots reaching back more than 70 years into the history of space activity in Europe, ArianeGroup embodies Franco–German technological space program heritage. We are responsible for both design and the entire production chain of the Ariane 5 and Ariane 6 rockets, including launch services by our Arianespace subsidiary. We are also prime contractor for the strategic missiles of the French oceanic deterrent force. Our wide-ranging expertise covers propulsion systems and equipment for space and defense programs.

Space launchers are indispensable to enable mankind to benefit from space activities and technologies, since they are the sole way to access space. Our vocation is to make our planet Earth, our unique and precious home, a better, self-sufficient, and peaceful place for everyone to live in.

That is why we are true #Space Enablers.

ArianeGroup is a joint venture equally owned by Airbus and Safran, and employs approximately 9,000 highly qualified staff in France and Germany.
