ArianeGroup, formerly Airbus Safran Launchers, is a French and German aerospace and defence company created as a joint venture between Airbus and Safran. It was established on 1 January 2015 and is headquartered at Issy-les-Moulineaux near Paris, with principal sites in France and in Germany at Lampoldshausen, Bremen and Ottobrunn. As prime contractor it develops and manufactures Europe's Ariane launch vehicles, including the Ariane 5 and the two-stage Ariane 6 that succeeded it, while its subsidiary Arianespace sells and operates their launches from the Guiana Space Centre at Kourou. The company also builds the M51 submarine-launched ballistic missile of the French Navy, and its subsidiaries work on newer reusable launch technology such as the Themis booster demonstrator and the planned Maia launcher.
