⌚ Engineering heritage is built through accumulated mission experience. ArianeGroup has developed a long standing expertise in atmospheric entry and thermal protection through major space programmes. 🚀 From the Huygens probe landing on Titan in 2005, to Beagle 2 on Mars Express in 2003, and Schiaparelli for ExoMars in 2016, each mission contributed to validating materials, processes and design approaches in extreme environments. It is thanks to this accumulated heritage that ArianeGroup is now responsible for the design and production of the Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) for the Rosalind Franklin Mars rover. Using Norcoat® Liège HPK, cork based ablative materials, the TPS is designed to withstand the intense thermal loads of Mars atmospheric entry while ensuring reliability and mass efficiency. 🤝 From proven planetary entry know-how to future exploration missions, ArianeGroup turns engineering heritage into operational value for European space programmes. #RocketMakers #Civil #NorcoatLiegeHPK Société des Lièges HPK
