'''EADS Astrium Space Transportation''' was formed in June [[2003]] from the Space Infrastructure division of [[Astrium]] (whose core was originally [[ERNO]]) and the [[EADS]] Launch Vehicles division (formerly [[Aerospatiale]]'s Space division). Until July 2006 it was called EADS Space Transportation and was a fully-owned subsidiary of EADS Space. In July 2006 the three subsidiaries of EADS Space (EADS Space Transportation, EADS Astrium, and EADS Space Services) were reintegrated into one company, [[EADS Astrium]], of which EADS Astrium Space Transportation is a business division.

The Space Transportation company is the prime contractor for the [[Ariane 5]] launcher, the [[Columbus (ISS module)|Columbus]] Module of the [[International Space Station]], and the [[Automated Transfer Vehicle|ATV]], as well as a number of smaller projects (most notably [[EADS Phoenix|Phoenix]]). It also builds launchers for the French nuclear missile program (see also [[Military of France]]), such as the [[M51 SLBM]].

It has recently joined the team led by [[Lockheed Martin]] for a bid on [[NASA]]'s [[Crew Exploration Vehicle]] (CEV), being in charge of the craft's ''Mission Module''. The team won a contract from NASA in June [[2005]].

Recently, EADS Astrium Space Transportation has started a campaign in favour of a project called [[Lunar Infrastructure For Exploration|LIFE]], for astronomy from the Moon surface.

The company has facilities in [[France]] (Les Mureaux near [[Paris]] and Aquitaine near [[Bordeaux]]) and in [[Germany]]; the main facility in Germany is located in [[Bremen (city)|Bremen]].

After [[Evert Dudok]] took over from [[Antoine Bouvier]] as Head of EADS Astrium Satellites on 11 June 2007, Alain Charmeau assumed responsibility of the management of EADS Astrium Space Transportation.
