High-Performance Solutions for Space Exploration
On March 6th, Ariane 6 marked a new milestone in European space history with the successful completion of its first commercial flight. Its mission: to place the CSO-3 military satellite into orbit, the final strategic link in France’s optical observation constellation.
Behind this technological feat lie critical components, and Exxelia is proud to have played a part in this achievement.
Exxelia Components Powering Ariane 6
Unlike other launchers equipped with multiple engines, Ariane 6 relies primarily on its two P120C boosters to provide over 80% of its thrust at liftoff. Each booster delivers 4,500 kN of power using a solid propellant system, exposing its nozzles to extreme temperatures of 3,000°C for 130 seconds.
Such performance is made possible by the use of advanced composite materials capable of withstanding extreme thermal and mechanical stresses. This is where Exxelia comes in: our high-reliability components are integrated into Ariane 6’s critical systems, contributing to the launcher’s robustness and precision.
High-Performance Solutions for Space Exploration
Exxelia’s capacitors for space, filters for space, and inductors for space are designed to meet the most stringent requirements of the space industry. With proven reliability and resistance to extreme environments, they play a crucial role in Ariane 6’s control, power, and guidance systems.
With this latest successful mission, Exxelia reaffirms its expertise and commitment to supporting major space advancements. We are proud to contribute to Europe’s space conquest by providing cutting-edge technological solutions for increasingly ambitious missions.
