Nevertheless, it had several passengers on board.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ariane 6 was built by prime contractor and design authority ArianeGroup. In addition to the rocket, the liftoff demonstrated the functioning of the launch pad and operations on ground at Europe&#8217;s Spaceport. The new custom-built dedicated launch zone was built by France&#8217;s space agency CNES and allows for a faster turnover of Ariane launches.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The footage in this video comes from\u00a0the\u00a0rocket\u2019s\u00a0Video Telemetry Kit known as VIKI. Provided by Irish company\u00a0R\u00e9altra, it\u00a0delivers live video feed throughout the mission via six cameras located on\u00a0Ariane 6. The system is independent from Ariane 6\u2019s systems so it doesn\u2019t take processing power or data transmission overhead from the rocket, providing the full high-definition video.\u00a0<\/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<textarea rows=\"4\" cols=\"60\">&lt;iframe width=&#8221;649&#8243; height=&#8221;360&#8243; src=&#8221; frameborder=&#8221;0&#8243; allow=&#8221;encrypted-media&#8221; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;<\/textarea><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Videos\/2025\/11\/Ariane_6_liftoff_to_orbit_uninterrupted?rand=772187\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17 minutes full video of an onboard camera on Europe\u2019s heavy lift rocket Ariane 6, showing liftoff to orbit.\u00a0 This footage was taken from a camera on the Ariane 6&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":799258,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-799257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-multimedia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=799257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/799258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=799257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=799257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=799257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
