Back through the success of Ariane 6’s first commercial flight
Under rainy weather, Ariane started very precisely at 5 p.m. (metropolitan time). After a year without independent access to space, Europe will find its autonomy with this new heavy launcher, which is essential for its technological and strategic sovereignty. “It is a big day for Space Europe,” said David Cavaillolès, the Executive President of Arianespace. You can experience this event in more detail in this article
What future for Ariane 6?
Four other commercial starts are planned this year. In order to be profitable, Arianegroup aims at 10 starts per year, a cruise speed that she should reach in 2027.
An important success for spatial Europe
Thanks to the success of Ariane 6’s first commercial flight, many other flights are ensured. The Ariane 6 Order Book was already full: states, space agencies or private companies. This victory enables the old continent, its independence, its rank for the spatial power of the world, to regain, which is confronted with the dominance of SpaceX in the industry.
Successful mission for Ariane 6 during their first commercial flight
The French military satellite was brought into orbit, about 800 km above sea level, about 800 km above sea level.
The satellite must be brought into the orbit in 10 minutes
Next step: the orbit of the satellite
The military observation satellite must be placed in Héliosynchronian orbit at a height of 1 hour and 6 minutes at the height of 6:30 p.m. in Paris. In the Ariane 6 head jewelry there is a French military satellite that has devoted itself to the observation of the country in the defense service.
The impressive video of Ariane 6 Start
The rocket started at 5:24 p.m.
Separation of two booster
After a little more than two minutes of climbing, the two drift agents switched off and separated from the ground floor.
Ariane 6 started in the sky
Departure planned in two minutes!
Ariane 6 must take off at 5:24 p.m.
How will the start go?
In accordance with the procedure, Vulcan 2.1’s main engine is first highlighted. It is the same as that what the last versions of Ariane 5 exerts. It exhibits a push of 135 tons, which corresponds to 9 Burst Combat aircraft. Seven seconds later, the two booster will light up and Ariane 6 will tear out the shot.
After a little more than two minutes of climbing, the two lifting agents run out after they have burned almost 300 tons of powder. Then they are separated from the ground floor. The volcanic engine ensures the ascent alone. Then the cap will separate. The main engine then goes out and intervenes in the separation of the first floor. The Vinci upper floor engine then takes over. It can be switched off and illuminated four times.
Four other commercial starts are planned this year
This start marks the beginning of a new space for the old continent, which after a one -year break, its independence, its rank for the spatial power of the world and its international competitiveness. The success of this start is essential because many other commercial flights are planned. Whether for states, space agencies or private companies, the Ariane 6 Order Book is full. Four other commercial starts are planned this year. In order to be profitable, Arianegroup aims at 10 starts per year, a cruise speed that she should reach in 2027.
A satellite must be orbit today thanks to Ariane 6
In the upper limit of the new heavy European launcher there is a French military satellite that is devoted to the observation of the country in the defense service. It is used by the Space command. The military observation satellite must be placed at a height of Héliosynchronous at a height of 1 hour and 6 minutes.
The smallest version of Ariane 6 was published today
The start planned today is carried out with the smallest version of Ariane 6, the A62, which is equipped with two booster. The other, more powerful version, the A64, with four booster, has to take off in the second half of 2025.
Can the spatial Europe catch up in the Elon Musk company?
Ariane 6 already has a delay on the Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX … and for good reason it is not reusable. As a result, every start costs more and their number is limited for obvious reasons. When the European Space Agency started a maximum of ten starts a year by 2027, the American company achieved 132 last year. We explain more details in this article

Why is this start so important?
After several consecutive moving, Ariane 6 will make her first commercial flight today at 5:24 p.m. This very symbolic mission is important for the area of Europe. His flight aims at the low orbit of the new military satellite in order to strengthen the army’s intelligence capacities in the context of approach between Russia and the United States.
