Faces of Ariane 6: Cornelia Lux, Team Leader Industrial Engineering 05-25-2021 |  2 minutes

Prior to joining ArianeGroup in 2010, Cornelia worked as a project manager in the automobile industry. Her expertise in industrialization and serial production is key for her work on ArianeGroup products and Ariane 6 competitiveness.

My team and I develop production concepts for the Ariane 6 upper liquid propulsion module. We put tools and infrastructure in place for the integration and testing of flight equipment, and we set up new processes for production techniques.

I was overjoyed when we delivered the first upper stage of Ariane 6. It represented a key step in this incredible adventure. I am especially proud of my colleagues and their unrelenting efforts, and eager to see a step-up in production while working with the same team.

I am eager to see Ariane 6 fly. The development phase will continue, nonetheless. We are already working on improvements for future lunar and, who knows, Mars missions. Above all, I want to keep working with the Ariane 6 team and watch the launcher take off to exciting destinations. I love my job. After all, building launch vehicles is no small endeavor!
