Did you catch it? During the last #Ariane6 launch broadcast, the commentator confirmed: “APU nominal.” Just two words, but they make us proud! Because the Auxiliary Propulsion Unit (APU) is one of the innovations on Ariane 6’s upper stage. This small multipurpose system has a significant impact, making Europe’s launcher more versatile and efficient than ever before. Its functions include: 🔹 Pressurising the tanks for reliable Vinci® engine re-ignition – up to four times 🔹 Settling propellants in microgravity with small bursts of thrust 🔹 Supporting payload separation, including satellite clusters and constellation deployments 🔹 Providing fine orbital maneuvers and additional thrust on demand 🔹 Safely de-orbiting the stage at mission’s end The APU uses a 3D-printed gas generator with advanced heat exchangers to vaporize small amounts of liquid oxygen and hydrogen and re-injects them into the tanks for the pressurisation. The result? Less helium tanks, lower mass, higher efficiency, and more mission flexibility. We build the APU’s gas generator using #3Dprinting. This allows us to reduce costs, create complex shapes in order to offer the best performances, and shorten production time – a process that enhances both our economic and technical performance. We #RocketMakers are proud to develop this unique system for European Space Agency - ESA together with our European partners, securing Europe’s independent access to space. #Innovation #SpaceIndustry #WorkInSpace

Airbus has received the initial fuselage sections for its A350 freighter, MSN700, at its final assembly line in Toulouse, France. The central fuselage sections 15-21 as well as the forward sections 11-14 have been produced by the facility at Montoir-de-Bretagne – formerly known as Saint-Nazaire. Airbus supplies these sections through its Airbus Atlantic aerostructures division. The Montoir-de-Bretagne site assembles and equips all centre and forward A350 fuselages. According to Airbus Atlantic, the initial A350F sections have been delivered to Toulouse, the final assembly line for the cargo twinjet. #aircargo #airfreight #logistics #supplychain #freighter #airline #A350F Airbus Read more: https://lnkd.in/eRjgHxae

France created a solid-state rocket engine that works without combustion — changing how we launch satellites forever In a quiet aerospace lab outside Toulouse, French engineers have developed something that may transform spaceflight from the ground up — a solid-state plasma propulsion engine that accelerates spacecraft without combustion, without moving parts, and without conventional fuel. It's not just a new engine — it's a new category of propulsion. This innovation is built on an ionized gas loop called a rotating detonation plasma disk, which uses magnetic fields to confine and spin superheated ions. Unlike chemical rockets that burn propellant in a loud, violent flame, this system moves particles using electric fields, producing quiet but continuous thrust with almost no mechanical wear. The core advantage? Precision. Because it’s electromagnetic, it can throttle, steer, or shut off instantly — crucial for satellite positioning, station-keeping, and space debris avoidance. In tests, it delivered stable thrust for over 1,000 hours with no degradation, far outpacing traditional ion thrusters. Even more impressive: it works in near vacuum, at low temperatures, and needs no ignition — meaning satellites can use it for years without refueling. The French team designed it to run on xenon, but it’s also being adapted for argon or krypton — making it cheaper and more versatile than current systems. This could drastically lower the cost of operating low-Earth orbit constellations, deep-space science probes, and even Mars-bound cargo ships. Unlike rocket launches, which are short and explosive, this tech allows long, efficient burns over months — ideal for modern space infrastructure. France’s space agency is already partnering with EU firms to integrate this engine into next-gen micro-launchers and orbital service vehicles — making combustion-free satellite propulsion a reality.
