Hey
@ArianeGroup I always wonder, what is meaning of "Ariane" in ArianeSpace?
That's a good question, it's the French for Ariadne from Ancient Greek mythology. She delivered Theseus with a thread to come back home safely. Ariane launchers are the reliable thread linking Europe to space.

There's often an Ancient Greek/Roman mythology story underneath most of our products' names, for instance, do you know the name of our next engine?

But do you know the other names the committee in charge of naming it hesitated with?

English is enough, most of our collaborators speak it, but both French and German are a plus as most of our facilities are located there.
