Structures

Over the years, we have contributed to countless launcher vehicles used to place satellites into orbit. 

• Ariane 6: We design and build critical structural elements for Europe’s next-generation heavy-lift launcher, including the Vinci Thrust Frame, which transfers the enormous power of the upper-stage engine, and the Vulcain Aft Bay (VuAB), the structural base of the Ariane 6 rocket’s core stage. 
• Vega & Vega-C: We engineer the Interstage 1/2, a vital structural interface that withstands extreme mechanical stress during launch and staging.
• Ariane 5: Our legacy includes the engine thrust frame that reliably powered decades of Ariane 5 missions into orbit.

In addition to launcher structures, we develop structures for satellites and space instruments using traditional metals as well as advanced composite materials to minimise weight. In an industry where every gram counts, our structures deliver the ultimate balance of ultra-lightweight design, extreme load-bearing capacity, and cost efficiency.
