The space sector

Presentation

Access to space is a strategic issue, both commercially and institutionally. New Space is disrupting the traditional rules of the space industry. By making space more accessible through a significant reduction in costs, these new players are greatly expanding the market’s growth potential.

With the Ariane 6, Vega, and Vega C launchers, Europe continues to meet the needs for launching satellites of various sizes and masses into orbit.

Ariane 6 : Designed to place payloads ranging from 5 to 11.6 tons into geostationary transfer orbit.

Vega et Vega C : Optimized for smaller payloads, ranging from 1.5 tons (Vega) to around 2.3 tons in a reference polar orbit at 700 km.

To maintain its leadership position, Europe continually invests in the development of new launchers, including reusable solutions, and builds on the momentum generated by innovative European startups.
