Centre européen pour la construction de lanceurs d'engins spatiaux
Arianespace is a multinational company and a leading commercial launch service provider, marketing and operating launch vehicles like Ariane 5, Soyuz, and Vega, and the upcoming Ariane 6. As a subsidiary of ArianeGroup, it plays a crucial role in providing independent access to space, particularly for European organizations and governments. Arianespace launches missions from the Guiana Space Centre and works with partners like the European Space Agency (ESA) and Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES). Key activities include preparing missions, managing customer relations, and offering a wide range of space-based applications, including telecommunications, science, navigation, and Earth observation.
