Success of Ariane 6 maiden flight!

Air Liquide teams are proud to have participated in the maiden flight of Ariane 6 ! Since the start of the Ariane program in 1973, we have contributed to every successive evolution of the launcher, from Ariane 1 to Ariane 6.

The 50-year collaboration has already seen 262 Ariane flights to date. We supply cryogenic lines and equipment, maintenance and operation of all launch pad cryogenic equipment, as well as the fluids required for all launcher preparation sequences (nitrogen and helium) and for propulsion, notably hydrogen and oxygen.

Thank you to our teams and partners for this technological and human adventure. Together, we continue to push back the frontiers of space exploration!
