Показать описание
Europe’s new rocket Ariane 6 powered Europe into space taking with it a varied selection of experiments, satellites, payload deployers and reentry demonstrations that represent thousands across Europe, from students to industry and experienced space actors.

This inaugural flight, designated VA262, is a demonstration flight to show the capabilities and prowess of Ariane 6 in escaping Earth's gravity and operating in space. Nevertheless, it had several passengers on board.

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's Spaceport. The new custom-built dedicated launch zone was built by France's space agency CNES and allows for a faster turnover of Ariane launches.

Ariane 6 is Europe’s newest heavy-lift rocket, designed to provide great power and flexibility at a lower cost than its predecessors. The launcher’s configuration – with an upgraded main stage, a choice of either two or four powerful boosters and a new restartable upper stage – will provide Europe with greater efficiency and possibility as it can launch multiple missions into different orbits on a single flight, while its upper stage will deorbit itself at the end of mission.

ESA’s main roles in the Ariane 6 programme is as contracting authority – managing the budget from Member States participating in the Ariane 6 development programme; and as launch system architect – ensuring that the rocket and launch pad infrastructure work together.

Ariane 6 is the latest in Europe's Ariane rocket series, taking over from Ariane 5 featuring a modular and versatile design that can launch missions from low-Earth orbit and farther out to deep space.

i like the design of this rocket. So simple and clean very elegant, but at same time so powerful. I think they have to work on spectacularization of launch events. More cameras, more telemetry, more enthusiastic comments. Marketing is always a good thing

I'm so proud and glad to see Ariane 6 in flight. People have bailed on us last minute but Ariane got delayed just making sure everything was perfectly safe and operational. This is how it's done, and what makes Ariane and ESA great in my opinion. As a space enthusiast and French, I'm truly happy. I understand it may have lacked some show and English but English is not required to understand what the video shows you. You can see for yourself what's happening, a rocket flying perfectly.

So bravo Europe ! So Bravo ARIANE the 6th !! «Pilotage calme, trajectoire nominale» = Perfect ! Juste un peu + de télémétrie pour le show… et on touchera les étoiles…;)

Félicitations à toute cette énorme équipe (si bien intégrée) qui a rendu possible ces magnifiques appareils. La présence de l'Europe au centre du développement spatial est indispensable.

Guess it was "nominale" then? 😆
A beautiful launch ESA! Just wanted to say "Well done guys!" from the UK!
Although I dearly wish we were involved & helping. We've kicked out the crooks that ruined our country. Coming home begins with one step!
Volez en toute sécurité Ariane 6!

Awesome lift off. The burn is impressive in how controlled it is and how fast it transfers momentum.

C'est génial de voir l'ESA à nouveau à la conquête de l'espace!

Toutefois, si vous souhaitez créer de l'intérêt pour le public, une vidéo de ce type manque un petit peu de pop. C'est une magnifique fusée et un magnifique accomplissement des équipes, mais présenté de cette manière, cela tombe un peu à plat.
Pas besoin de faire du Space X mais un peu d'enthousiasme quand même ^^'

Nicely done! Arianespace definitely needs to get into the whole re-usability business sooner or later, but it's nevertheless great to see a new Ariane model successfully launching!

bellissimo
