en.Wedoany.com Reported - ArianeGroup and Air Liquide have signed two contracts to support the operational phase of the Ariane 6 launch vehicle. The contracts cover the critical cryogenic equipment required for rocket manufacturing and propulsion, as well as the supply of gases for propulsion and ground operations.

Air Liquide's Engineering & Technologies division will provide cryogenic equipment for missions up to the 42nd Ariane 6 flight. Meanwhile, Air Liquide Spatial Guyane has renewed a three-year initial gas supply agreement to provide liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for propellants, as well as liquid helium, gaseous helium, liquid nitrogen, gaseous nitrogen, and compressed air for ground operations.

With over 50 years of experience in space cryogenics and gases, Air Liquide has supported successive generations of Ariane launch vehicles, participated in 268 Ariane flights, and designed the fluid distribution system for the ELA4 launch platform. As ArianeGroup ramps up production after several flights, these contracts aim to support the industrial ramp-up and operational phase of the launch vehicle for both institutional and commercial customers.
