Structuring a pool of exceptional capabilities around ArianeGroup Design and final integration of civil and military launchers, solid fuel systems, energy raw materials, structures and space equipment. By bringing together their expertise, ArianeGroup and Safran seek to maintain Ariane 5’s outstanding level of quality and reliability, while developing a family of new-generation, competitive, reliable and versatile launchers (Vega, Ariane 6 – first launch 2020), and consequently remain the global leader in communications satellite launching. ArianeGroup is inspired by space technology to offer manufacturers a set of products, equipment and services in civil and military areas. This duality is primordial to maintaining skills. Solid fuel propulsion in Nouvelle-Aquitaine offers an example: 53% defense (after-body and hot flaps for M88 Rafale engines) / 7% civil (automotive airbags, composites for wind generators and rail). © AIRBUS DEFENSE AND SPACE / INGO WAGNER

AEROCAMPUS Aquitaine An international-scale campus for aerospace training

AEROCAMPUS Aquitaine is an aeronautics and space campus created through the initiative of the Aquitaine Region in 2011.

AEROCAMPUS Aquitaine, anchored in a job development strategy, offers a range of initial and in-service training that seeks

complementary methods of training in line with the demands from job © AEROCAMPUS AQUITAINE pools to better meet the needs of business.

AEROCAMPUS also supports the aeronautics industry's export approach by providing customized training, know-how and the certification that export increasingly to international markets.
