Ensuring quality for Ariane
10 Views • Sep 23, 2016
Description
Regularly test firings are made to demonstrate the motor’s capabilities and qualify improvements in design.
On 8 September a test firing at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, ensured again that Ariane 5 launcher qualification, reliability and performance levels are maintained.
The test is a collaboration between ESA and France’s CNES space agency under ESA’s Launchers Exploitation Accompaniment Programme, LEAP, to guarantee independent access to space for Europe.
This video shows the test and it’s preparation.
