With the first flight of the launch vehicle Ariane in 1979 a consortium of European firms began exploiting commercial space travel. Ariane was developed for satellite transport. By the end of 1999 the five different versions of the launch vehicle had carried over 70 satellites for research and communication into space. Ariane-5 was developed during the 1990's and will gradually take over as the workhorse launch vehicle.
Do not forget the CNES, as the CNES is a French company, and she is launching rocket, the Ariane rocket is launched on a french, it is France that puts more money in the rocket because we are the true creator of the rocket Européenne (France)

if ESA would get some more money to spend, they would be ruling the universe, coes in USA it does not matter how much the costs for space and millitary science are, but well, thats way EU is much more stable than USA, USA is getting weaker and weaker, and has billeons of dollars to pay back, not to mention that our Euro is the strongest coin there is, and do not forget Russia and China are catching up at a fast rate to EU and Japan

That's correct :_ 68% de perchlorate d'ammonium (oxydant de la réaction chimique) NH4 + et ClO4 -_ 18% d'aluminium (réducteur de la réaction chimique) Al_ 14% de polybutadiène et de divers (liant)
