In 1992, DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG[?] (DASA) and Aerospatiale combined their helicopter divisions to form the Eurocopter Group.

In 1999, Aerospatiale merged with the Matra High Technology Group[?] to form the Aerospatiale-Matra company.

Aerospatiale also manufactures the Ariane series of booster rockets.
