Propulsion-bay firing was conducted to study the functioning of the integrated subsystems of Ariane. The purpose was to highlight mechanical, thermal, or vibratory problems that might result from interaction between the various systems in configurations and under conditions similar to those to be expected during Ariane's flight. The tests show that the hardware performs satisfactorily.
