'''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 [[Aérospatiale]]'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. Currently 4397 employees work in the launcher segment. |
