The latest technology innovations have resulted in a decreased mass while delivering a stronger structure in a single work at a lower cost. The Interface Structure (upper and lower) is the biggest space carbon fiber structure ever produced in Europe. The other structures include the Launch Vehicle Adapter, for the upper stage; and the Equipped Solid Rocket upper part of each rocket booster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
