In 1999, Aérospatiale merged with Matra Hautes Technologies to form Aérospatiale-Matra. In 2000, it joined DASA and Spain's CASA to create EADS.
The original activities live on today with several heirs: Airbus, Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter), ArianeGroup, MBDA, ATR, Thales Alenia Space, and aerostructure companies.
