The upper part of a booster for Ariane 6 in production at Airbus’s pulse line manufacturing and assembly facility in Getafe, Spain.
Airbus in Spain developes the upper part of the boosters and the Inter-Stage Forward Structure-Launch Vehicle Adapter components (IFS-LVA). These structures are known as “skeletal bridges” connecting different stages of the rocket, like bones connect body parts, ensuring stability and form.
Inventia Kinetics contributes to the Ariane 6 project by supplying Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) and special machines for Airbus’s pulse line manufacturing and assembly facility in Getafe, Spain. These include handling and lifting tools, automated systems, and transport containers for the Ariane 6 boosters, interface rings, interstage structures, and dual launch systems — acting as the hands that handle and build Ariane 6 components.
