The vehicle equipment bay (VEB) is a cylindrical carbon structure mounted on the ESC-A<br />
stage. The VEB contains part of the electrical equipment required for the mission (two OBCs,<br />
two inertial guidance units, sequencing electronics, electrical power supplies, telemetry<br />
equipment, etc.). For the tenth time, the VEB cylinder and cone have been produced using a<br />
new process involving depositing carbon fibres on a mould before baking of the structure.<br />
The upper composite (ESC-A stage + VEB + 3936 cone) for launcher L563 was assembled<br />
for the twenty-third time at the <strong>Astrium</strong> ST site in Bremen, in order to meet needs resulting from<br />
the increase in production rates for the coming years.<br />
