- The largest components for the first flight model of Europe’s new rocket Ariane 6 arrived at the port of Pariacabo in Kourou, French Guiana on 21 February 2024 via the novel ship, Canopée (canopy in French).
The Ariane 6 stages and components are all manufactured across Europe. On this trip, Canopée brought the central core for Ariane 6’s first flight. The main engine and the main stage were integrated in Les Mureaux, France, while the upper stage and insulation for the rocket’s exterior were built up in Bremen, Germany.
The various Ariane 6 components are then offloaded and transported by road to the new Ariane 6 launch vehicle assembly building just a few kilometres away. Here, the launcher stages are unpacked and installed on the assembly line for integration, and finally, liftoff.
The Ariane 6 boosters are already in Europe’s Spaceport after their production in Italy, they are the same P120C solid propulsion boosters as used for Europe’s Vega-C rocket.
First the central core will be assembled horizontally after which it is transported to the launchpad. Here it will be lifted into the upright position after which Boosters and the upper stage will be added inside the mobile gantry.
This summer Flight Model-1 will be ready to let its engine rumble and fly.

Great news for Ariane 6. I hope to see it on a mission soon. Thanks for this video ESA!
Ariane 6 🌐✨️ ticket to space
The ship with its four sails is cool. Please make a video about this ship too. How much fuel was saved by the sails?
Virtue signaling.
They help save 15% of the average fuel consumption of the ship keeping the ship constant as the same speed it would normally go
like... not much
Its about time europe! ❤
Gracias amigos 🤟🏿
My best wishes for the preparations! Can't wait to hear 'Décollage' for the first time. 🆙️🚀💙
Držím palce.👍👍👍👍👍
Great news! I hope Ariane 7 can return and land like SpaceX does!! GoESA!!
If it makes sense. It often doesn't.
Also, the payload can be much larger in volume in most rockets, compared to the Falcon 9.
Fingers crossed for your first encouncer with the Minotaur Ariane 6 ❤
LETS GOOO
Yes, can't wait for this launch!
Safe flight A6!
The science is amazing
La recherche doit être accélérée et les employés doivent être disponibles 24 heures sur 24.
Incrível ...ir de barco para o lançamento no espaço!!
Space Shuttle fuel tanks would do that too.
Awesome. Starke Sache!
Ohhhhhhhhh YES!! Love from the USA , state of Texas.
WOW!ESA💙🖌
finally, when are we launching this thing already
Summer.
Epic! 😎
sehr stark!
❤ Awesome!
I will be more excited when the headline says 'Ariane 6 departs Europe's Spaceport'.
That will never happen. Mist rockets launch to the east, which would be over land and therefore populated area.
China does this, but they don't care if their rockets land on someone's home... which has happened.
Good luck, ESA! Happy to have you!
nice
fly safe
Come on, be proud of your modern sail boat, rather than calling it "oddly-shaped!"
What is the planned payload for this mission?
looks like only test..
@@mitropoulosilias Well, it's still going to orbit so might just as well put something useful on it (although maybe not something of high importance that can't be risked)
good good@@ImieNazwiskoOK
Cubesat rideshare, per the ESA website
The correct software.
Go ahead ESA! ❤
Is the narrator Jemaine Clement?
Fly baby fly!
Awesome. Let's go oooo. We need to put something on the moon that does not fall over or blow up. Just sayn😉
☺️☺️☺️☺️
Jaxa Revive Space Force Nasa 2
congratulations to esa great work.
When will the carbon fiber upper stage for Ariana 6 be ready for flight? Since the current upper stage design is such low efficient
Mucha publi pero no arranca.
Wiederverwendbarkeit !?
Seems like ESA has a lot of Budgets. Customized transport ship specifically for Ariane 6.
Things like that and just having to transport the rocket to South America just adds on to the cost.
@@cn8299 Starting in Europe would be more expensive.
Inspiring and marvelous, but looks expensive per tonnes to the orbit😎
so like only 15 years late?
4, but close enough
I hope ESA catches up with state-of-the-art technology and starts reusing the rocket’s first stages.
If it makes sense. It often doesn't.
Also, the payload can be much larger in volume in most rockets, compared to the Falcon 9.
Would have been a super Rocket back in the 2000 to 2010, but not nowadays where reusability is the way to go up to the stars.
The only ones doing reusable stuff are SpaceX and only thanks to billions of NASA and US government funds through the years.
Here's a mad idea. How about *not* adding background music to a video?! Crazy huh? I mean, that might give the viewer a better chance of understanding what the speakers are saying.
Thank you for your feedback! We will forward this to our video production team.
subtitles exist
How about developing/designing / creating fully reusable rockets 🚀 with 3D printers ESA in the near future by your institution please. 💜🌷( ꈍᴗꈍ)
awesome
Cool! But when will ESA develop reusable rockets?
Reusability please!
First
1:16 Carbon Fibre?
Tsk Tsk Expensive for an Expendable system.
With no reusability, Ariane 6 is doom to fail.
It will not, it has way enough flights scheduled as of right now to get a good 5 years of usability, and more flights will be added as the years go on
I missed the part where it was reusable.
It isn't.
@@antoniousai1989 Then it is already a failure paid with my taxes.
@@Bear-form It's cheap and reliable. Military satellites from Eu countries can't rely on assholes like Elon Musk to send things up.
Why do everyone just assume reusable equals cheaper.
"Arianespace Chief Executive Stephane Israel, in an April 23 briefing at Europe’s Guiana Space Center, said Europe’s launch sector can only guess at how much SpaceX will need to spend to refurbish its Falcon 9 first stages.
Israel said European assessments of reusability have concluded that, to reap the full cost benefits, a partially reusable rocket would need to launch 35-40 times per year to maintain a sizable production facility while introducing reused hardware into the manifest.
Arianespace’s Ariane 6 rocket, scheduled to debut in 2020, is forecasted to launch 12 times per year starting in 2023, when the current Ariane 5 vehicle is retired.
This rate may increase depending on developments in the commercial market. Seven of the 12 annual Ariane 6 campaigns will be devoted to commercial launches, each carrying two satellites. The five other launches will be for European government customers.
Israel’s argument, which he has made before, is that even if first stages can be recovered and refurbished in a cost-effective way, the launch rate needed for maximum cost savings - and hence price reductions to customers - is beyond Europe’s reach.
The only nations today whose governments are launching sufficiently often to reach those rates are the United States and China, and even these government markets may be insufficient, in and of themselves, to close the business case."
@@Bear-formit doesn't have to be reusable to be an affective launch vehicle.
ESA has to direct soon it's development into reusable rockets and parts, spending recourses and careers on an obsolete space technology is just a profound waste.
France spaceport.... in America.
Frexit frexit... French live in France across the world, not the other european. This our land not yours.
why even bother if it doesn't land? it's all a waste of money at this point. it's basically like building a telegraph line across the country and then celebrating when it is completed. it's pointless, sorry.
Here we go again, i guess by your logic anything else than space equals bad, am i right?
Arianespace is not a business. They're not in it for a profit. It's a jobs thing to keep aerospace engineers in Europe, the same with how NASA spent tens of billions developing the SLS. It was to keep the NASA aerospace engineers occupied and employed. It's also to ensure Europe has the ability to launch without assistance for America or Russia. It'll never beat SpaceX in terms of pricing but it's not the ultimate goal to.
Think Better 9.2 meters lenght ION Propulsione 6.2 meters lenght with 23 Rotors kammer 90000 meters then 3 Meter Booster 1 Module👽🧍
