About Olivier Ozier-Lafontaine

Experienced Safety Launch System Engineer | Entrepreneur in Aerospace & EngineeringFrom 2012 to 2025, I served as a Safety Launch System Engineer at the French Space Agency (CNES), working within the European Spaceport (CSG) in French Guiana. Over more than a decade, I contributed to some of the most innovative and ambitious space programs in Europe. My key responsibilities included: • Hazard Mitigation by Design: Ensuring that space systems, including Ariane 6, VEGA-C, and the Callisto demonstrator, were designed to avoid catastrophic hazards throughout their operational lifecycle at CSG. • Safety Coordination: Managing safety across all industrial facilities during operational activities, including launcher assemblies (Soyuz, VEGA, Ariane 5), spacecraft preparation areas, pyrotechnic solid and cryogenic propellant production plants, and launch countdown operations. • Regulatory Compliance: Developing environmental studies and pyrotechnic safety files to secure state authorizations for operating launch facilities.In addition to my career at CNES, I co-founded two start-ups: • AK-Architecture: A company dedicated to innovative architectural and engineering solutions. • Synergy Media Space: Focused on supporting the development of reusable space launchers. Our services include providing specialized engineering expertise and navigating the complex certification processes required for reusable launch vehicles.My academic background includes: • A five-year aerospace engineering degree from IPSA (Institut Polytechnique des Sciences Avancées), with part of the program completed at UCSD (University of California, San Diego) in 2011. • A Specialized Master’s in Aeronautical Maintenance and Support from ISAE (SUPAERO-ENSICA) in 2012.Today, I continue to channel my passion for space and engineering as I focus on entrepreneurial ventures that push the boundaries of aerospace innovation.
