Ariane 5 - the European stairway to space

Ariane 5 is a heavy-lift launch rocket created by a consortium of European aerospace companies in the early 1990s. The main Arianespace and European Space Agency launch vehicle. The rocket is used mainly to launch payloads to the geostationary transfer orbit, which led to the emergence of a number of interesting design solutions.
By the beginning of 2020, the rocket was launched 108 times.

And well... The Ariane V is one of the most beautiful rocket ever made !

[MrHanninho]

Nice video! Would definitly watch more of these!

[AbhishekChoudhury]

I am from India and love your videos very much keep up the good work and if you can make a video on ISRO many of your viewers will get to know our achievements too

[jones]

Cool I had some memorable car video game races at that launch facility!

The ECA upper stage HM7B can't restart. Thats why the Aestus is still used sometimes. This will change on Ariane6 with vinci.

[GSXone]

Do the Atlas 5 next! Love your videos!

[camilosanchez]

All eyes on Europe to get this done. That cargo is more precious than gold, more precious than gold

Looking at images of the ariane 5 and the abandoned energia rocket family there are similarities visible

Ariane 5 is pretty for sure, but Proton is still the beauty of the ball.

9:56 Estes I've got a few old Estes powered rockets and motors laying around lmao

[najmicreativetv]

came here after MEASAT-3d and GSAT-24 launch

[blameyourself]

Running out of aircraft, Skyships Eng? :-))))

[hectorkeezy]

You forgot Denmark. We are also partners in The ESA. 🇩🇰🙋🏻‍♂️🪐👩🏻‍🚀🇺🇸

The countdown doesn't quite sound the same when done in French by a French chick, they should do it in English so it sounds better.

The Ariane V was a BAD design influenced by the even worse design called the Space Shuttle. The fact is that a LH2/LOX main stage that lights on the ground is a lousy idea. Whatever advantages having a higher specific impulse gets you is more than paid back in terms of the bulky and heavy tanks to hold the LH2 and the need for high thrust low specific impulse SRBs to get it off the ground.
The Russians and the Saturn V got it right. Keep it simple, run Kerosene and LOX. That 16~20 ton payload of the Ariane V capacity can be achieved with a two stage, two engine, rocket. It'll have to be a big engine like the F1 or RD170 for the 1st stage, but it is very doable. The 2nd stage can be LH2/LOX or you can stick to kerosene and just build a 30% bigger rocket -- which is still SMALLER than that big fat Hydrogen fuel Ariane V.
