 Paris (AFP) Feb 2, 2009
 The European space rocket company Arianespace has struck a four-billion-euro deal to buy launchers from the French aerospace and defence giant EADS, the companies said in a statement on Monday.

Arianespace ordered 35 Ariane 5 ECA rocket launchers from EADS in a deal worth more than four billion euros (five billion dollars), bringing to 49 the total number of these launchers in production.

The contract signed on Friday will "ensure both independent access to space for Europe, and the best launch service and solutions on the market for all of Arianespace's customers," the statement said.

It said the new launchers would be used from the second half of 2010. Arianespace operates rocket launchers for purposes such as putting commercial satellites into orbit.
