Berlin will put its weight behind future projects of ArianeGroup, a JV of Airbus and Safran, so long as those programs are open to technology from European start-ups
Germany is ready to back the development of a new generation of French-built space launchers better able to compete with the latest rockets from Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
Officials for ministers in Germany and France declined to comment on Ariane 7. ArianeGroup also didn’t respond to messages after office hours on Friday. While the firm describes the current Ariane 5 as “the most reliable space launcher on the commercial market,” Musk’s Falcon 9 is challenging it amid burgeoning demand for communications satellite missions. The latest Ariane 6 rocket, designed to give Europe an edge, has suffered delays with its first blast-off now scheduled for late 2023.An announcement on a future Ariane 7, would be good news for industrial relations between France and Germany, which have become fractious in recent months.
