Ariane programme board members pose in front of a model of Ariane 5 before visiting the Ariane 5 launch complex, including the CDL3 launch control centre, the launcher integration building and the Ariane launch zone. Later in the day, they visited the propellant manufacturing plants, viewed the inert engineering model of the Vega launcher’s P80 first stage and inspected the construction works for the Vega and Soyuz launch zones.
