    The Ariane 5 launch vehicle liftoff for flight VA261 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 5 July at 23:00 BST (6 July at 00:00 CEST). Flight VA261 carried two payloads into space – the German space agency DLR’s experimental communications satellite Heinrich Hertz and the French communications satellite Syracuse 4b. The flight was the 117th and final mission for Ariane 5, a series which began in 1996.

  • ESA Euronews: Pas de tir d’Ariane 6

    ESA Euronews: Pas de tir d’Ariane 6

    Dans cette édition de Space, nous entrons dans les coulisses d’un chantier colossal au Centre spatial européen de Kourou en Guyane française. Un pas de tir est en train de sortir de terre en vue du vol inaugural d’Ariane 6 programmé en juillet 2020. Grâce à ce projet, l’Europe se relance dans la compétition mondiale qui oppose les acteurs du secteur spatial.

    Sur la côte nord-est de l’Amérique du Sud, à Kourou en Guyane, des ingénieurs européens s’affairent à la construction du nouveau pas de tir d’Ariane 6. Ce chantier colossal doit répondre à un objectif simple : diviser par deux, les coûts de lancement par rapport à son modèle précédent. Pour y parvenir, il faut d’abord une quantité astronomique de béton, d’acier et de main-d’oeuvre.

    ESA Euronews: Ariane 6

    The race is on to build the new launch pad for the Ariane 6 rocket, due to make its maiden voyage in July 2020. Construction is in full swing in French Guiana as Europe builds not only a new rocket but also a new way of launching rockets, in a bid to face down competition from the likes of Space X.

    When Euronews visited, around 500 people were active on the site from six in the morning until ten at night, with attention focused on two key elements of the pad – firstly the huge flame trench which will take the hot gases away from the rocket on launch, and the new building in which the Ariane 6 will be built.

    ESA Euronews: Az Ariane-6 rakétát már az űrversenyre tervezik

    Francia-Guyanáról köszöntjük az Euronews nézőit, Európa űrkikötőjében vagyunk.

    Egy hatalmas építkezés zajlik: új kilövőállást alakítanak ki az Ariane-6 rakétához. A tervek szerint 2020 júliusában bocsátják fel.

    Ma bepillantunk az előkészületek kulisszái mögé. Ami zajlik már nem csak kutatás, maga az űrbiznisz.

    ESA Euronews: Ariane 6

    El Puerto Espacial Europeo en la Guyana francesa, está en plena efervescencia. Estamos en medio de una gigantesca obra. Aquí se sitúa la nueva plataforma de lanzamiento de Ariane 6, cuyo despegue está previsto en julio de 2020. Intentamos averigurar qué se necesita para mantenerse a la vanguardia en el negocio del espacio.

    Amanece en Guyana y los ingenieros europeos se afanan en la construcción del terminal de lanzamiento de Ariane 6. Esta gigantesca obra tiene un único objetivo: lanzar cohetes al espacio por un coste, dos veces inferior al de Ariane 5. Para lograrlo se necesita un montón de hormigón, de acero y de mano de obra.

  • Hello, Darmstadt?

    Hello, Darmstadt?

    The European Space Operations Centre, ESOC, in Darmstadt, Germany, has served as Europe’s gateway to space for half a century. In 2017, the centre is celebrating its 50th anniversary, highlighting a rich history of achievement in space.

    This video offers a high-speed visual tour through five decades of mission control, which encompasses 77 spacecraft, ranging from telecom, weather, Earth observation and climate monitoring satellites to spacecraft studying the Sun and peering deep into our Universe.

    Exploring our Solar System, teams at ESOC have flown missions to the Moon, Mars and Venus, as well as three epoch-making triumphs: Giotto’s flyby of Halley’s Comet in 1986, the Huygens landing on Saturn’s moon Titan in 2005 and Rosetta’s delivery of Philae to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in 2014 – humanity’s first landing on a comet.
