Dear friends of the ARIANE-Cross,


September 11 – 13, 2009 is the date of the 33rd ARIANE Cross.

MT Aerospace has the honour to host this event in Augsburg in this historical Ariane year: 30th anniversary of the first Ariane launch from Kourou in French Guiana and the beginning of Europe’s launcher success story - today we together are targeting the development of the most powerful ARIANE 5 ever built.

As a member of the Ariane industrial family since the very first days – MT Aerospace is happy to welcome you to this sportive celebration.

With a history of more than 2000 years, the city of Augsburg invites you to spend time in its picturesque renaissance old town.

Memorable days, both athletic and cultural, and Bavarian hospitality, await us under this year’s motto:

"ARIANE - keep on running".

We look forward to seeing you!

Hans J. Steininger    Walter H. Köppel
