- Europe's big new rocket, Ariane-6, has made its inaugural flight.
The vehicle will launch out of French Guiana on a demonstration mission to put a clutch of satellites in orbit.
Developed at a cost of €4bn (£3.4bn), Ariane-6 is intended to be a workhorse rocket that gives European governments and companies access to space independently from the rest of the world.

The European space agency is separate from the European Union, so the UK is still involved in this project, although France is the most involved
To put this more in perspective, Germany and France provide around half of ESAs total budget, the other 20 members the other ~half. ESA could be much bigger.
UK started it's own space agency in 2015...
This is not true. The UK is indeed a member of ESA, but it isn’t a member of the Ariane 6 program. The Ariane 6 program members are Austria, Belgium, Czechia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
That’s not entirely correct. ESA is administratively separate from the EU but the EU is a major customer of ESA, as such, the UK was excluded from many EU-ESA programs due to Brexit. Most importantly Galileo and EGNOS.
@@KentRoads any idea what happened to the british ones that were in russia 2020?
There's a heavy version of this, the Ariane Grande.
Haha
😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂 Can’t believe I didn’t spot this! Hilarious!!
Ariane 6 is going to be a significant progress in comunications and science .Congratulations to the European Space Agency.
And with very decent timing, considering Japan's recent launch earlier this Summer. And China's failed private launch before that.
Will it bring the stranded Americans back home?
It failed

American here. I'm happy to see democracies doing good things in space technology. The Ariane 5 was a great, reliable platform. Hoping for the same for this new rocket. It looks like a good start.
Congratulations European Space Agency 🎉
Flat earthers crying and throwing up in the hallway right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@factsoverfear9771 ironic username considering your own paranoia and distrust, dare I say fear, has led you to believe that incredible engineering accomplishments are fiction.
@@factsoverfear9771 You really are cooked, ain't ya? We've already seen similar footage like 100+ times with SpaceX... but I guess you are one of the people that don't believe rockets can land and think the spaceX ones are "pencils" with engines strapped on them made in CG. Yikes.
Lots of bots in the comments
Space x fan boi
Forever and always
They are well paid.
Does anyone remember when the commentary on a launch would focus on the launch vehicle, the stages of the launch, and the incoming telemetry? Instead, we have "OMG! We're on the verge of tears! Oh, what a moment! Ooooh!"
You can find that on other channels. This is the fun version for those with a casual interest
It'd good for people who arent interested in the telemetry. I am happy with this kind of commentary if it gives more attention to spaceflight, even if I personally would prefer a telemetry readout.
Props to the brave cameraman recording from the rocker
You know camera can be remotely operated and that electromagnetic signals such as image data can be sent transmitted and received from very long distances? That's why there was a delay in the video signal.
@@jonpon-r6w No. There was several guys strapped to the rocket with handcams.. it’s pretty obvious. Stop talking about this woo doo electromagnetic signals.
@@jonpon-r6wgo back to your cave troll.
Ariane 6-Making old technology new again😂😂😂
Still, ESA didn't have their own rocket, was dependent on others, and it's able to deliver bigger payloads than the Falcon 9. And I know, it's not reusable, but still, it's a good option.
@@realEpicGold I don't know if having a costly car equipped with an old carbureted engine for the work could be called a good option, a temporary solution maybe. But hey ESA was one of many to loudly told to anybody asking that reusability in rocket industry was science fiction and keep doing it the old way, the safe way. So there is that to assume hoping they got enough client throughout Ariane 6 journey to develop their next vehicle.
Gawd dammit BBC!!! With the way this world is going... For a moment there, I thought this was an ICBM!!! 🙄
Anyway... Great News for our European Space Programme...
I just hope there will be a Europe left in the foreseeable future... From which to launch further missions!!!
arianespace (ariane 6 manufacturer) also make the french M51 ICBM so you were half right !
Any rocket, is an ICBM.
And you know they, areeee,,,worried.
They looking to develope their and to know what does work. capabilities.
Europe is going to look to be independent,of even the dill weed Americans.
They have a Hegemony, rising up in front of them.
They don't mention that Ariane 6 is equipped with engines that can be switched off and on during the mission, so that it can place satellites at different orbits. That is a major feature.
ISRO is already doing this at a smaller level . They do not have giant rockets
While it is a shame that they aren't even pursuing at least Vulcan-Centaur style reuse where just the engines get recovered, this is still an amazing achievement for European space exploration!
Reuse is for ‘Ariane Next’
Costly refurbishment at best, reuse is a myth. The Russians have the least changed, most reliable launch system in history and not an iota is ‘reused’. That sobbing you hear in the background is the Musk fanbois realising he duped them.
Now it's time for ESA manned orbital mission😉
Did this produce more, or less, co2 than BG's private jet?
it uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen as fuel so no co2
@@MANBEARPIG248 water vapor is a more potent greenhouse gas than co2, but it should quickly turn into ice crystals/rain
@@MANBEARPIG248 but it also does have those SRB engines which aren't great... But rockets have a incredibly small impact on climate change compared to others
@@protonjinx idiotic comment.

Congrats ESA, Arianespace, Airbus and Safran!
Love the overlay on top of the rocket! Professionals at work 👍
Lots of critical comments about the language and technology from jealous couch potatoes.
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations to ESA and to the crew of Ariane 6 programme!
Ariane 6 project was given the green light before SpaceX managed to perfect the re-use of the first stage Falcon 9. ESA was dismissive as were the other legacy American launch providers. Now ESA is trying to modify the Ariane 6 platform to have a second stage that can be re-used. Meanwhile they are preparing a test for a re-usable rocket platform similar to Falcon 9.
heard it over a podcast. Honestly thought they named it "Aryan"
Bravo !!
The content is a cut above the rest. Keep setting the bar high!
When is the upgraded solid booster gonna be ready? They are called P160C right?
How was the landing?
They were launching into space, not an earth to earth travel.
Satellites need to be in space to work.
@@akyhneyep, and the way to get into space nowadays is on top of a launch vehicle that lands back on earth ready to be reused. Except for Ariane 6. 😂
@@Fogmeister No need to laugh. One Ariane 6 launch is only a bit more expensive, than a Falcon 9 launch. So, on paper, it doesn't make much sense.
Elon musk be like: how do you not make it blow up 😢
fantastisch
Where is it gonna dock? ISS?
Glitch at 2.00 minute mark on the video.Wierd
Fully expected of camera kms out from sea level. Both the signal delay and the vibrations can attribute to that glitch
do you have a theory as why there was a glitch there?
The glitch is part of the fakery, unfortunately the people of this very flat plane, don't have eyes to see, and no brain to understand, or should I say common sense, it's easier to fool people, than to convince they have been fooled, famous quote by a famous freemason, freemasonry runs this earth with LIES
I wish our Government was still dedicated to space like it was in the 60"s we could already be on Mars probably if NASA still had the funding it used to get during the Kennedy years.
I didn't know Britain didn't exit also ESA.
it's a big lie nothing can surpass the Firmament 😂
That is correct, there is a top cover, Dome over us all, people don't have a clue of this earth we live in
Congrats but with out reusability it’s another twentieth century rocket
Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉
Without booster recovery this is comparable to the ESA celebrating switching the Nokia 3210 on…while SpaceX has using the iPhone 15 for years 😂
*** meanwhile : spaceX exploding his 15th try of starship ***
Flerfers will say that it's all GCI, fisheye lens or something equally asinine...
And the uk watching with envy. Brexit fiasco 😂😂😂
ESA ≠ EU ergo the UK remains a member and contributes somewhere around £2 billion a year.
Off topic, but 2:02 - "Russian court issues arrest warrant for Alexei Navalny's wife."
That's disheveling to say the least.
New Europe is on par with US, Russia and China
Sorry to say it is not on par with United States
@@justcallmebrian793 why not.
2024 and still no reusable rocket? laughs in SpaceX
When do they land the boosters or core?
😂
If at least in the UK Space Agency allow hobby rockets to be used by professionals or newbies in safe place ofc will bring on business enormous impact on education and wealth . Ehh aye a lot other can be involved....if they know the science involved.
CNN,BBC and FOX show that only Israeli people have emotion, happiness and sorrow .
Not Gaza's children 😢😢😢😢😢😢
it is not accepted from CNN,BBC and FOX that are a news media. 😊😊😊
Why is the feed so bad? Camera flicking back and forth, freezing, replaying the previous 10 seconds…. The can launch a rocket but struggle to produce a decent live feed
I think we're spoiled a bit by SpaceX launches, theyre on another level.
@@kael13 sure , spacex cameras never freeze
Because it's all fake
Fast forward to about 2 mins. Clearly in space right? Accodring to recent updates there is about almost 10k satellites in space. Yet. Every one who has a video to space. You never see one satellite
You simply have to be joking or trolling.... no one can be that dense.
Those two women sound like they have never seen a rocket before
As long as it helps the war effort, I guess. 🤷♂️
... But is it re-usable? Coming from the EEC that lectures the world on sustainability.
This Arian is lucky because the Russians wanted to shoot it down but can't. The Russians thought that it was the Ukrainian ballistic missile. 😂
Is it reusable?
no but it's still a big improvement compared to 5
No
It will also not survive the upcoming price war between Falcon 9 and New Glenn. €400 million annual subsidies will increase to €1 billion guaranteed.
There's no need for reusability, unless it makes economic sense. But it's their plan to go more reusability, if the market is there.
It's crazy how long it took them to develop Ariane 6 from Ariane 5 (and it's still not reusable!), and there's SpaceX making upgrades practically every year. The difference between a government-run agency and private/commercially run company is night and day.
There is indeed a difference when a private company wastes public funding without accountability, and a government agency has to report each penny spent.
@@pplesandorangesAnd yet, for all that wasted money SpaceX is a massively profitable company. The real sucess of SpaceX is not it's rockets, but it's buisness ideology.
@@benzene_sandwich Massive profits yes, but how much of it will fall back into the public coffers? We know where business ideology is leading us. The plus point, Europe's independence to launch its own satellites and that is priceless.
@@benzene_sandwichSpaceX is leeching off the taxpayers money and 55 million isn't what I'd call massive profit and made 1.5 billion net loss for two years before that..
@francinesicard464 Europe as its launched from a french colony in South America. We ignoring the rocket launch sites in the UK and goggling at the French instead like brother the private companies have had this for decades.
It failed. It didn’t reached the target orbit…
300 tons of fuel in two mins, WOW
the fuel is hydrogen + oxygen wich make water
The Federation begins 🌠 Live Long and Prosper🖖
Russia as super power of the planet is watching too
CONGRATULATIONS.
why are those 2 woman saying things that we can see.

No match for the Russian ICBMs
Do ICBMs carry payload to orbit?

@@SOVIET-KGB-CCCP Documentary on Russian TV. Yeah that must be true because it was on Russian TV who always tells the truth.
europe knows how to launch rockets?
Ok thanks for all the world
Ffs… I missed it.
My commiserations to the team on the Ariane 6 program. It failed to explode. You need to get some advice from Elon, on how to fly rockets.
But did you land the Boosters?
No but they didn't sell people fake solar panels either.
No but it still cost less than Space X rockets
It doesn't cost less and SpaceX could probably lower their prices, but then they couldn't indirectly fund Starlink via SpaceX customers.
@@jaltyx5093 Not even close to costing less than Falcon 9. And SpaceX is rapidly developing Starship which is supposed to be much cheaper.
Yesterdays idea. None of it is reusable. Strangely like the EU.
Red herring claptrap.
French empire using their colony
It's a French département 😂
You don’t miss any opportunity to show off your ignorance and brain disfunction this making a fool of yourself right here.
Congrats from China!

technology has not moved on in this field since the 60s still using rockets
Ariane 6 is 1970's technology. No launch system in operation or development is more modern, unfortunately.
Cough cough *spacex vtol*
Grats
Where dey going doe?
它兴高采烈地一边自拍一边飞出地球的家门口，在家门口附近摄摄影录录像，清闲的时候会做做一些实验然后然后向在地球的家长们提交作业。
Compared to the Falcon Heavy this is nothing 😂
Compated to SpacePig: no soot, much less CO2, no wasted helium.
not even reusable boosters?
Why couldn't they launch it from France or some where in Europe?
I understand French Guiana technically belongs to France but if their goal is for it "to be a workhorse rocket that gives European governments and companies access to space independently from the rest of the world." Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be in Europe and not South America?
There's infrastructure there already, good weather conditions, somewhat desolate. Wouldn't really provide any economic benefit building a platform closer to Europe. Would it in fact incur high costs.
A couple reasons, proximity to the equator and no need to risk flying a rocket over heavily populated land masses.
You'll notice that most launch sites are situated closer to the equator rather than further away. This is because of the physics of getting a launch into orbit. When you launch closer to the poles, most of your available orbits become more and more like polar orbits, stuck orbiting over the poles. From close to the equator, more orbital trajectories are possible, including geostationary ones. If you launch a rocket from the poles, no matter which direction you send that rocket, it will be travelling due North/south. It will cross the other pole and come back again. You have no options. You can't turn it 90 mid orbit, because that just costs too much fuel, more than the rocket can even carry. In addition, due to the Earth's rotation, it bulges slightly at the equator. For most people, this is irrelevant, it doesn't really change how we operate. However, when it comes to launching rockets, this has a noticeable impact in minimising as much as possible the amount of gravity that the rocket has to overcome to escape the Earth's atmosphere and reach orbit. This is due to the fact that the force of gravity you feel decreases as you move away from the object creating that gravity you are feeling.
I believe there's also new such facility in Sweden. Built only like couple of years ago, by the EU, for the EU needs. Plus French Guyana is called FRENCH for A REASON, just like EU could use any part of the huge Greenland, if Denmark agreed with it. As it's basically owned by Denmark, an EU member.
This is m'y country french Cayenne i am so proud of m'y country
what happened to the british ones that were in russia in 2020????
Russia used them to send up satellites for Iran.
Did they recuperate the boosters?
That’s cool
big ups ESA
Not one for the green party.🤣
Good, space shouldn't be just for the US, China and Russia
My god the commentary needs work.....
"We go now to the launch of a "big rocket"
"The buildings are shaking now... and... we're looking at live feed of the rocket here" "Oh, we are looking down?" "yeah, we're looking down the rocket"...
"Look at this, how they (the boosters) fall off, amazing"......
Its just decribing whats on screen, utterly boring, no hype. Wheres the people screaming at the success, wheres the talk about the unique parts of this launch set up, rather than ablative part stuff which is literally the most common stuff in space tech.
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Not holding my breath that the ESA is going to do anything in rocket manufacturing with how well the Falcon 9/Heavy performs and how much more showmanship SpaceX does with their launches...
All window dressing..timed for Nato meeting..

Ariane 6 will not survive the upcoming price war between Falcon 9 and New Glenn. Two VTVL launchers with advanced technology not available in Europe operated by two billionaires with the biggest egos ever seen.
It will survive, it doesn't actually have to make a profit. Of course, it would be better if it does, but Europeans will keep financing the program no matter what.
