EADS Space Transportation
EADS Space Transportation was formed in June 2003 from the Space Infrastructure division of Astrium (whose core was originally ERNO) and the EADS Launchers and Vehicles division (formerly Aerospatiale's Space division).
The Space Transportation division is responsible for the Ariane launcher, the Columbus orbital facility and the ATV, as well as number of smaller projects (most notably Phoenix). It also builds launchers for the French nuclear missile program (see also Military of France).
