    🛳️ Now that’s a space ship.

    🚀 Have you ever wondered how we transport rockets?

    All the elements that make up Ariane 6 are manufactured in mainland Europe and then transported by this ship, named Canopée.

    It is the first custom-built transporter to use sails, reducing emissions and saving on fuel by up to 30%, and on this trip, it travels for 10 days covering over 7000 km to reach Europe’s Spaceport in French Giuana.

    The hybrid-propulsion vessel is 121 m long and has 37 m tall sails. Canopée rotates continuously between stop-offs to load each Ariane 6 stage and other parts and ship them across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe’s spaceport.

    Do you know how rockets are launched? 🚀

    Europe’s new launcher, Ariane 6 uses liquid oxygen and hydrogen as fuel to lift it off the ground and into space. This fuel is chilled to -150°C which allows more propellant to be loaded into the rocket with more fuel from the engine.

    But Ariane would not get far without the boosters that provide the most thrust by far.

    In order to control the direction of Ariane 6 after launch, the nozzles on the boosters and main stage can swivel to keep it on course. This is no easy feat as Ariane 6 is 56 m tall and controlled at the bottom, so it is a careful balancing act.

    Europe has a new rocket, and it’s set to launch soon 🚀

    Europe’s next launch vehicle is the powerful Ariane 6. The rocket will be bigger, better, and more versatile than its predecessor.

    Our daily life is becoming increasingly reliant on space to keep people and things connected for communication, banking, transport, weather forecasting and more!

    Ariane 6 is ensuring Europe has continued independent and autonomous access to space.

    Will you be watching the launch this summer?
