Unrestricted, competitive access to space for Europe

ArianeGroup is a key industrial player in European space transportation. Together with our subsidiaries and partners, we develop, build and operate reliable, high-performance civil and military launchers, as well as cutting-edge equipment and services for the benefit of many branches of industry. In France and Germany, our 8,000 Rocket Makers all share the ambition of providing our customers with market-leading solutions offering the best quality, cost and lead-times. With our exceptional expertise and capacity for innovation, we are a cornerstone of Europe’s space ecosystem, working for the well-being of its people and its independent, competitive access to space.

Our dual civil–military purpose

ArianeGroup is a fundamentally dual-purpose company – this is one of our main strengths. Our mutually enhancing civil and military activities reflect our ability to meet wide-ranging strategic needs. We work closely with European space agencies, governments and industrial partners. With our subsidiaries, we have expertise in the full spectrum of space access technologies, from their development through to decommissioning, to build end-to-end solutions for improved European security and defence. We are also the launch partner for many space missions that drive progress and deliver benefits for life on Earth. From civil and military telecommunications, navigation, environmental protection, to scientific and technical advances, and space surveillance, at ArianeGroup our ambition is to help everyone benefit from space technologies.

Innovation and sustainability: our core values

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a fundamental commitment for us. We strive to minimise our environmental impact, we encourage diversity and inclusion, and we support economic and scientific development in the regions in which we operate. Through the dedication of our highly-skilled teams, our initiatives incorporate sustainable practice into all our activities, support increasingly responsible innovation and help to secure a prosperous future for the generations to come. Choosing to work at ArianeGroup means joining a multicultural company which values an ethical approach, focus on sustainability and excellence in performance and delivery.
