ArianeGroup

The Student Aerospace Challenge, now in its 20th edition, is open to European students from ESA member countries. Dassault Aviation, along with ArianeGroup, the European Space Agency, and the Air and Space Museum, supports this initiative.

ArianeGroup has successfully completed the first launch of SyLEx, France's new sovereign suborbital test system, marking a significant milestone in European aerospace independence. The inaugural flight on November 28, 2025, from the DGA Missile Testing Centre in Biscarrosse validated both the single-stage rocket and its dedicated launch pad, developed in under three years.
