How do you restart a rocket that is already in space? 🚀 #shorts
Europe’s newest rocket Ariane 6 has an upper stage engine, Vinci, that can restart up to four more times once in space!
This allows Ariane 6 to reach a larger range of orbits and deliver multiple payloads on a single launch.
Vinci does this using an auxiliary propulsion unit that heats up the same liquid oxygen and hydrogen fuel used by the main engine. It then turns it into gas that is expelled from the upper stage to provide a small amount of thrust. The effect is barely noticeable, but the forces are just enough to keep the liquid fuel at the bottom of the tank and ready for reignition.

Very cool, ESA! I hope you have a very fantastic day!🎉❤
If I want to work at ESA, where should I work? I know you guys have 9 establishment
Informative. Keep going ESA.
Like the video, but you should invest in better mike and peraphs little bit less background music
You don’t. No such thing as “outer” space.
This is called Ullage im pretty sure.

I have a question what if The engine failed during launch or stuck in it's undisired orbit but It has been relighted 4 times already?Is there any emergency System?
🎩💙🍷🖖
didn't know how the did that, thanks for the informative video. Also, is ESA going to be apart of the artemis mission in any way?
I recently talked to someone who worked on Ariane VIs upper stage it was one of the most informativ conversations in my life.
weightlessness is tricky as f*ck 🤙
How do you spin up the turbine and fuel pump for restart?
Is a wonderfull rocket (saludos de chile)
I love this vid
