Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales and Leonardo, has secured a contract with ArianeGroup to produce telemetry transmitters for the Ariane 6 launch vehicle. The deal will cover the first 15 launchers in a programme that will span 30 years. The initial delivery of 30 transmitters is scheduled for the autumn of 2025. The two telemetry transmitters on each launcher will send data to the ground throughout the launch, enabling post-launch analysis of all flight data. Thales Alenia Space in Belgium is also responsible for developing and producing the range safety system and the electronic control unit for Ariane 6’s nozzle steering system.
