Scientific paper
The goal of this paper is to present to the workshop participants the Aerospatiale Matra Lanceurs company and its activities in the field of Mars exploration. Aerospatiale Matra Lanceurs (AML) is a subsidiary of the EADS ("EADS in formation") group. This company has all the expertise required to develop strategic missiles, space launchers, orbital transfer vehicles, re-entry vehicles and equipment for space research and interplanetary exploration. Therefore, it can provide useful information and answers to the "how" and "when" questions in this workshop: AML is the Industrial Architect for Ariane 4 and for all the different, present and future versions of Ariane 5. It has built the thermal protection system of the Huygens Titan Probe which is carried by Cassini. In addition to the thermal protection production, Aerospatiale Matra Lanceurs has also performed all the studies linked to the entry and descent system, including the aerodynamic studies, trajectories, heat and radiation flux in an atmosphere, the one of Titan, different from ours. AML has also been the prime contractor of the Atmospheric Reentry Demonstrator (ARD), launched by Ariane 5, which flew flawlessly in October 1998. Due to its prominent role in Europe, Aerospatiale Matra Lanceurs is now playing an important part in the present and future French and European endeavors regarding the exploration of Mars. For some elements, such as Beagle-2, the involvement of Aerospatiale Matra Lanceurs has already been decided, for some others, this is still a competitive process.
