Then lifted by a crane, the Ariane 6 core was stood upright on the launch table.<\/p>\n<p>The two boosters were transported to the launch pad on a specially designed truck and then configured with the rocket body, now holding it upright.<\/p>\n<p>Ariane 6 is due to launch in summer 2024. The heavy-lift rocket will inaugurate a new era of autonomous European space transportation, powering Europe into space to realise its ambitions on the world stage. It will lift off from a modern launch complex at Europe\u2019s Spaceport in French Guiana, carrying with it not just a variety of spacecraft, but also European goals for prosperity and autonomy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<label style=\"display: block; font-size: 0.9em; color: #8197A6; margin: 3rem 0 -1rem 0;\">Embed code<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<textarea rows=\"4\" cols=\"60\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/content\/view\/embedjw\/587537\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/textarea><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Videos\/2024\/05\/Ariane_6_stands_tall_for_launch?rand=771654\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Ariane 6\u2019s central core \u2013 the main body of the rocket \u2013 was stood tall at the launch zone and connected to its two solid-fuel boosters.
