Air Liquide and ArianeGroup signed two major contracts for the Ariane 6 rocket's operational phase. These agreements cover critical cryogenic equipment and propulsion gases for the heavy launcher.
The contracts support the industrial ramp-up of Ariane 6 production following its initial flights. Air Liquide will supply equipment and gases for missions up to the 42nd flight.
This renewal extends a strategic partnership between the two companies that has lasted over 50 years. The deal secures a vital segment of the supply chain for Europe's premier space program.
