APCO Technologies SA has successfully completed the Factory Acceptance Test for the Upper Composite Trailer. This complex system, which is as huge as a tennis court and weighs 180 tons, will be used at the Centre Spatial Guyanais to safely transfer the Ariane 6 Upper Composite with the Payloads, from the Assembly Building to the Launch Pad. The development of the UCT started in 2017, and after a stand-by in the qualification process due to the Covid-19 situation, the system arrived in Guyana for Commissioning and Final Acceptance Test campaign. Cometto has been involved in the project with the manufacturing of two 4 axle-lines elevating transporters ETL 4, both powered by electric Power Packs.
