Ariane 6 battery

Ariane 6 battery for Europe's heavy-lift rocket.

Airbus in France contributed the rocket’s batteries, which provide electricity to its systems during flight. These batteries are built to withstand extreme conditions, from the intense vibrations of launch to the freezing vacuum of space. They were built using commercial, off the shelf technology especially qualified for space by Airbus, bringing reliability while being mindful of cost. They are the rocket’s power source, keeping it running every second of its journey.
