Aspects environnementaux
The R&D activities will be mostly carried out at existing sites in Europe and in French Guyana. These sites are already used for the production of the current generation of launchers. However, the Ariane 6 development programme includes also new facilities related to the manufacturing and assembly of the new launcher, that fall under the EU Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU and requiring a full EIA. The environmental details have been shared with the Bank and relevant parts will be published. The new facilities meanwhile received construction and operational permits by the competent authorities.
