Ariane 6
At the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, the new launch facilities for ESA’s Ariane 6 launcher are being built. With the Ariane 6 launcher and the upgrade of the Vega to Vega C, Europe expands its launching capacities by creating versatile launchers that meet market demands. At the same time ESA supports both institutional missions and European industry as both Ariane 6 and Vega C will be fully European. With Ariane 6 and Vega C, Europe secures its independent access to space for years to come.
NASA = the move the rocket from VAB towards the Launch Pad
ESA = they move the VAB away from the Rocket.
So they dropped the Adeline project aye. 😢 too bad.
wtf ? 2:42 "hopefully reliable" !? but (still) a good product (ur kidding me right)
Or does he say "viable"? I'm confused.
For decades no one has bat an eye on the immense costs of expendable rocketry, and now everyone is sucking Elon's dick just because of the Falcon 9's reusability. Apparently it's a requirement for all rockets now. -_-
But why you cut forest
Next time use old pad : and plant more tree and all the best
Europe need more competitivesness.
USA:
NASA
Blue orgin
Spacex
ULA
Boeing
Lockheed martin
Sierra Nevada
Rocketlab
Virgin galactic
and 30+ startups🤦♂️
ESA should develope reuseable rockets. Only with reuseability (= lower costs) ESA can survive in the future of spaceflight.
Orian Sichs.
full specs maybe? lol
