Augsburg, April 24, 2018 MT Aerospace will be producing the metallic booster
housings, tanks and other lightweight structures for the final ten Ariane 5
ECA launch vehicles. Orders from Europropulsion (boosters), ArianeGroup
(structures) and Eurocryospace GIE (tanks) have been placed to the
Augsburg-based space company.
In two years' time, launch operations for the future European Ariane 6
launch vehicle are to commence at the Kourou space center in French Guiana,
South America. To ensure a smooth transition between 2020 and 2022,
contracts for the last batch of ten Ariane 5 launchers were announced by
ArianeGroup and Arianespace in January.
MT has already started with the production of the first components under the
new contract. This ensures deliveries until 2020 as well as a smooth
migration from Ariane 5 to Ariane 6. At the same time, jobs at MT Aerospace
in Augsburg will be secured during the transition phase until production of
the components for the Ariane 6.
By the time it ships the final set in mid-2020, MT Aerospace will have
worked on a total of 93 Ariane 5 launch vehicles. In operation since 1996,
this Ariane 5 is the most reliable and successful launcher to date.
MT Aerospace is playing a crucial role in the development and
industrialization of the Ariane 6 launcher system. With an industrial work
share of around 10 percent, MT Aerospace is developing technical innovations
for metal structures for enhancing the competitiveness of this future launch
vehicle in its capacity as a risk share partner and cluster prime.
