Erstflug der Ariane 6 (Offizielle Übertragung)
Liftoff is now scheduled no earlier than 16:00 local time (21:00 CEST), with the live stream starting at 15:30 local time (20:30 CEST).
This is a big moment for Europe, as the rocket will ensure our guaranteed, autonomous access to space – and all of the science, Earth observation, technology development and commercial possibilities that it entails. With many features brand new to Ariane 6, we’ll be able to carry more and take it further, while sustainably disposing of the launcher’s upper stage to prevent it becoming space debris.
Phase 1: From ground to orbit
The first phase of Ariane 6’s flight will launch the rocket off Earth and into space with the thrust from the main stage powered by the Vulcain engine together with the force from the two powerful P120C boosters. Phase 1 includes the separation of the main stage from the upper stage and the first boost of the upper stage’s Vinci engine, which inserts it and its passengers into an elliptical orbit 300 by 700 km above Earth.
The first flight of Ariane 6 will have three phases, each of which will demonstrate various abilities for Europe’s newest heavy-lift rocket.
Phase 2: Upper stage reignition and satellite deployment
The next phase is when Ariane 6’s newest feature is put to the test: reignition of the upper stage. In phase 2, the Vinci engine will re-fire, changing Ariane 6’s orbit from elliptical to circular. This will be followed by the deployment of the rocket’s eight satellites and the activation of its five onboard experiments.
Phase 3 : Tech demos, deorbiting and capsule separation
The final phase in Ariane 6’s inaugural flight will be to push the cryogenic upper stage to its limits and validate its ability to perform under microgravity conditions. The final phase will initiate the controlled deorbit of the upper stage back through Earth’s atmosphere over the South Pacific ‘NEMO point’, to prevent it from becoming space debris. Moments later, the two reentry capsules onboard will separate from the upper stage, and all three will make their safe descent back home.
The launch will be covered in several languages which can be followed at the links below:

#ESA #Ariane6 #Launch
Nice try but no cigar, until it's reusable.
Failed to launch 9 satellites
The ESA has 22 member states. Nevertheless, Germany alone bears 20% of the Ariane 6 development costs of 4 billion euros. That is also my money that I contribute as a German taxpayer. Nevertheless, I have to endure the French arrogance that only French is spoken. French is neither the most spoken language in Europe nor in the world. I would like to see a tolerant understanding that English is the language of aviation.
EU
>Let's save the environment
>Produces space debris and wastes billions of my tax moneys
>Pay up more climate taxes and dues, citizen!
All while we can't afford anything anymore.
Thank you EU!
Es ist ja schön, dass die ESA wieder mehr Aktivität zeigt. Die letzten Jahre hat sich die Raumfahrt Richtung China verlagert. Und aus den USA kamen vor allem Fortschritte von Space X. Die USA hat ihr GPS System und viele Telekommunikationsunternehmen wie Star Link usw. China muss in diesem Segment auch sehr aktiv sein. Russland war lange Zeit Monopolist für bemannte Raumflüge. Von Europa weiß man nicht so viel. Wie weit ist eigentlich Galileo ? Können Handys auch europäische Koordinaten empfangen ? Ich bin zu alt um das selber noch zu verfolgen. Aber über mehr Berichte würde ich mich schon freuen. Ich habe gerade den ESA Kanal abonniert. Da kann ich wohl auf dem Laufenden bleiben.
Congratulations, great achievement! And what a nice and clean lift-off!
