Le Bourget, 17/06/2025 – Pyroalliance, historical partner of the Ariane and Vega launchers families, releases two new product families securing launcher critical functions adapted to small launchers. This new offer, which will beunveiled at the Paris Air Show, answers the need of newcomers (“new space” actors) seeking reliable, competitive and quickly available solutions to secure their first flights and start as soon as possible the commercial exploitation of their new launchers.
SIAE 2025 (International Paris Air Show) took place from June 15 to 22, 2025, at the Paris-Le Bourget Exhibition Centre. Bringing together more than 2,500 exhibitors from 48 countries, nearly 165,000 members of the general public, and 400 official delegations.
This edition focused on innovation, access for the general public, and a strong presence from the defence and international sectors.
With 100+ inventoried new launcher projects across the world. A harsh competition is taking place between actors looking for cost-efficient and flight-proven solutions.
This is what SEP&FLY® and GUARD&FLY® now bring to the market.
Pyroalliance has thus already secured several order confirmations ahead of the Paris Air Show with different actors ready to embark our SEP&FLY® and GUARD&FLY® solutions.
And fly with them for their initial flights.
Most of them envisage rapidly increasing launch rates and therefore appreciate Pyroalliance’s ability and commitment to accompany their future ramp-up.
Pyroalliance’s offer is made of two complementary product families, which both gather series of « flight proven » equipment.
And both offer very fast delivery times.
They address two critical functions of a launcher:
* Payload separation, which is the last event of a launch sequence where accuracy and reliability are key to make the launch a full success.
* Flight termination, which is the last recourse action in case of hazard during the launch.
It is of common knowledge that maiden flights have statistically a ~50% success rate which is why the Flight Termination function is a must have!
