ENTRY FORM 
_{Full rules and how to enter below}

Ariane 6 launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 9 July 2024 – restoring Europe’s independent access to space.

Taller and more flexible than its predecessors, with an upgraded main stage, a choice of either two or four powerful boosters and a new restartable upper stage, Ariane 6 will provide Europe with greater efficiency and a wider range of launch services. It can launch any satellite into any orbit, including launching multiple payloads into different orbits on a single flight and satellite constellations.

Now, we want to see where your #MyAriane6 mission will fly!

How to enter ESA’s #MyAriane6 contest:

1.     Print out the Ariane 6 paper model and assemble it. You can add as much additional creative flair to your model as you wish – space is the limit.

2.     Take your assembled #MyAriane6 on a mission anywhere in Europe, sharing a photo or video via your preferred social media channel (Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube). Include hashtags #MyAriane6 and #ESA.

3.     Enter the URL to your social post (make sure your posts are public!) in the entry form here so that we can find your entry and contact you if you are a winner.
