ArianeGroup studies increase in European space launches PARIS, Sept 7 (Reuters) - European rocket maker ArianeGroup AIR.PA, SAF.PA is studying a possible increase in deployments of its Ariane 6 heavy launcher, CEO Christophe Bruneau told reporters on Monday.
The comments came after the European Space Agency said on Friday it was considering accelerating the annual launch rate of Europe's Ariane 6 and Vega-C rockets in coming years to cope with a looming bottleneck in satellite deployments.
