Ariane 6 is the newest rocket in a series that has, for five decades, been launching Europe towards the stars. Building on all the knowledge, expertise and technology developed over the years, Ariane 6 will be versatile, modular, and European.<\/p>\n
Guaranteeing Europe\u2019s access to space for the next years, Ariane 6 in two versions, with either two or four boosters attached depending on the \u2018oomph\u2019 the mission requires. Versatile, its upper stage can reignite multiple times during a single flight, placing any spacecraft into any orbit \u2013 including constellations \u2013 saving a final boost to return and burn up in Earth\u2019s atmosphere. Modular, it will be continuously adapted to the needs of the future space sector.<\/p>\n
Four organisations take care of the Ariane 6 programme: ESA at the head, ArianeGroup as the main contractor, CNES who designed and built the launchpad and ArianeSpace who sell the launches.<\/p>\n
13 countries contribute, thousands of Europeans have worked on it, and every one of us will benefit from the Earth observation, science, technologies and services it will make possible.<\/p>\n
