These agreements cover the supply of critical cryogenic equipment for the rocket's manufacturing, as well as the gases required for its propulsion.
Following the success of its initial flights, ArianeGroup is currently ramping up the production rate of Ariane 6. To support this industrialization phase, Air Liquide Engineering & Technologies will provide the essential cryogenic equipment needed for the manufacturing and propulsion of the launchers through Ariane's 42nd flight.
In parallel, ArianeGroup and Air Liquide Spatial Guyane have renewed a gas supply agreement for an initial three-year term. This contract guarantees the delivery of propellant gases (liquid hydrogen and oxygen), indispensable for the rocket's ascent, as well as critical fluids (liquid and gaseous helium, liquid and gaseous nitrogen, and compressed air) required for all ground operations, from satellite cooling to system inerting.
L'Air Liquide is one of the world leaders in industrial and medical gas production. Net sales break down by activity as follows:
- industrial and medical gases production (96.8%): oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, synthesized gases. The group also supplies control equipment and services for fluid systems, gas and liquid chemical management, home care and hospital hygiene services, and operating room equipment. Net sales break down by market as follows: industries (73.8%), healthcare (16.8%) and electronics (9.4%);
- other (3.2%): engineering activities related to gas production plant construction and high-tech product manufacturing.
Net sales are distributed geographically as follows: France (12.1%), Europe/Middle East/Africa (29.3%), the United States (33.4%), Americas (5.7%) and Asia/Pacific (19.5%).
