🛳️ Now that’s a space ship.

🚀 Have you ever wondered how we transport rockets?

All the elements that make up Ariane 6 are manufactured in mainland Europe and then transported by this ship, named Canopée.

It is the first custom-built transporter to use sails, reducing emissions and saving on fuel by up to 30%, and on this trip, it travels for 10 days covering over 7000 km to reach Europe’s Spaceport in French Giuana.

The hybrid-propulsion vessel is 121 m long and has 37 m tall sails. Canopée rotates continuously between stop-offs to load each Ariane 6 stage and other parts and ship them across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe’s spaceport.
