Ariane 6 is the first space launcher using a fiber optic control system and opto-pyrotechnics.
ID Quantique has developed and supplied to ArianeGroup a fully customized and dedicated ground test system capable of monitoring of opto-pyromechanical controls and a reliable autonomous pass/fail status reporting.
Space Optics System was mandated to realize the system test plan and procedure for this equipment and was responsible of the management of the project.
