    Ariane 6 upper stage installed for tests | Timelapse

    This timelapse video shows the hot firing model of the Ariane 6 upper stage being installed on the P5.2 test stand at the @DLR German Aerospace Center in Lampoldshausen, Germany on 16 February 2021.

    After arrival from the @ArianeGroup facilities in Bremen, this 5.4 m-diameter upper stage was hoisted out of its container, tilted vertical and installed on the test stand.

    Tests will simulate all aspects of flight including stage preparation such as fuelling with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, and draining its tanks.

    Data will be gathered on non-propulsive ballistic phases, tank pressurisation to increase performance, Vinci engine reignitions, exhaust nozzle manoeuvres, ending with passivation where all remaining internal energy is removed. Tests will typically last about 18 hours each.

  • Ariane 6 launch complex – December 2020

    Ariane 6 launch complex – December 2020

    Tour the Ariane 6 launch complex at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

    The 8200 tonne 90 metre-high mobile gantry has platforms to enable engineers to access the vehicle for integration of the stages. This steel structure protects Ariane 6 before launch and is rolled back prior to liftoff.

    At the entrance of the gantry are two mockup Ariane 6 P120C rocket boosters. These are representative of the real boosters, having the same size and mass but filled with water instead of solid propellant and used in mechanical tests.

    The hydrogen and oxygen storage facilities are close by. Underground, engineers are preparing the launch support systems.

    A pumping station at the reservoir will supply the water to quell the exhaust at liftoff.

  • Ariane 6 launch complex – September 2019

    Ariane 6 launch complex – September 2019

    Things are shaping up at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana in preparation for Ariane 6. Take a tour of the launch complex and its various facilities.

    Recent tests have used mock-ups of the P120C boosters to trial how they will be transported. See them on the launch pad, and get a sense of scale for Ariane 6.

  • A new generation of European Launch Vehicles

    A new generation of European Launch Vehicles

    We strive for the future of Europe in space and key to this endeavour is maintaining access to space.

    This objective is accomplished by supporting the development of new launch vehicles and next year will be an important year: Vega-C and Ariane 6 will fly for the first time.

    Vega-C is an enhanced version of Europe’s current Vega, with increased power and capacity.

    Ariane 6 is Europe’s next heavy-lift launcher which will replace Ariane 5. With Ariane 6 the approach is evolving for the assembly and production processes, and also in the sharing of responsibilities between us and Industry.

    In parallel to preparing a new generation of launchers, we are also working on its first reusable spacecraft, Space Rider, that will fly on top of a Vega-C and which should be confirmed at Space19+, the Ministerial Conference in Seville in November 2019.

    Already, the future of European Space transportation is clearly visible in Kourou where Vega-C and Ariane 6 are step-by-step becoming a reality.
