Good! Maybe it is not as innovative as some of the other rockets, but it is a real rocket which flew nicely from the first try. At the minimum this allows Europe to maintain independent access to space. And then there are European space startups that are getting very close to launching their own vehicles. This will be even more exciting!

So helpful!
On the tele views just before each stage looks very wiggly. Is that just video artifacts or was the rocket actually wiggling? (Gimbal overcorrection=wiggly rocket)
Thanks. You are a saviour
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Funny to see the separating motors working after testing them at work many times😃
congrats!
Nice on, man!
Well done to you and everyone that makes space happen.
Is that a subtle brag or what? haha... that's awesome man
@@bdawg2513 maybe a little brag yes😃
Worked on one of the cubesats on my final thesis project!
Nice
That's more respectable than the rocket itself, no joke. Congratulations!!
congrats
I like common engish. I'm not opposed to technical jargon, I can understand most of it. That " Its wiggling" comment cracked me up, bro! Good work.
I was waiting for the boost back burn @38:43 lol
Yeah lol. Crazy how common it is mow
According to arianespace this reusable rocket thing won’t ever catch on
@@georgehenan853 yeah spaceX must obviously be wrong with the hundreds of millions saved on boosters lol
@@georgehenan853 Do you have a source for this ? I'm french, but nonetheless would love to see Starship make it back home. Arianespace has some kind of expertise... I find it odd for them not to keep their money where their mouth is. I'd like to read their assessment / arguments. Is it something official or public ?
@@jonathanmabardyBillions even. Considering that each booster is about $35m, and they have recovered over 300, it's more than $10 Billion saved by recovering and reusing the first stage.
Equivalently, fairing per pair is about $5m. With over 300 recoverings, that's more than 1.5 Billion saved just for recovering two carbon fiber aero covers!
Deeply appreciate the gorgeous Apollo prn before you started. So few people understand us like that
It is incredible to watch a rocket complete all of its milestones on its first attempt.
Those engineers working for ESA/Arianespace are indeed professionals to the highest degree!
To be fair, the milestones aren't any more impressive than the milestones of rockets from the early 1960s
Its all tried and true hardware..
@@dmurray2978 yet, even with all that know-how acquired in the US in more than six decades, some companies still make silly mistakes and call them a success.
spoke too soon. Rocket had a relight failure
@@chaoz1666 at least it didn't destroy the launch pad, right!? LOL
The acceleration off the pad was amazing! Nice job ESA and thanks for streaming Tim!
that thing gets off the pad crazy fast!
Yeah it has two solid fuel rockets strapped to its side, nothing special
It's puny.
@@petemisc4291 yeah but still pretty impressive
Tax dollars burning up in the name of money laundering
Yes, with next to zero payload it's pretty zippy. I'm sure with a max payload it would be much slower
First launch of a new rocket not exploding is a achievement.
Ariane 6 looks like a winner, well done ESA, that liftoff was as surprising as it was exciting
you drank the coolaid :(
How is this winner? no part of this rocket is reusable. To have any chance with spaceX, they need full or partial rocket reusability.
Not really winning any competitions but sure
@@ILUVGOGI-ri2kd For as long as there are clients willing to put payloads in orbit, more launchers are a win for the market. I don't believe SpaceX to fulfill it on its own anytime soon, and I'm sure Ariane 6 already has a long list to blast off to space ! So this is a very big win, and a bright green light for things to come. Maybe in the long run, company will be outpaced out the market, but not today !
@@ILUVGOGI-ri2kd You do realise that not everyone requires 2 launches a week. Without regular launches spending so much on reusability is waste of time and money. What will you do with a reusable rocket that launches once or twice a year?
Just wanted to chime in and say that I loved your intro video. I could watch that footage with that lovely music on a loop. Good vibes! Cool stream!
Love this big bastard, reminds me of watching the Webb launch, that thing was a good time and we haven't had an Ariane for a bit, but now they are back!
(btw I had no idea this thing was passionately disliked by some people before reading these comments)
Tried technology is not as exciting. Sure thing Ariane 6 will meet EU expectations, but it’s been very similar that what we saw on Ariane 5 already.
A customer of mine from Cayenne, French Guyana, was likely one of the guys standing on the beach watching the rocket start... 😎
Literally the only thing to do in French Guyana lol.
This was a year of firsts for next-gen rocketry! Vulcan Centaur, first successful H-3 launch, first successful Starship Test, and now the Ariane 6!
Not to mention the New Glenn is getting its first launch in September! So exciting!
Yeah, it feels like the 2020s are the new 1960s of the rocket age! Exciting indeed!
Well, Arianne 6 is not as next gen as many (Europeans) would hope with spaceX redifining the tech.
It’s now no more than a stop gap until a reusable Arianne 7, that hopefully does not take 15 years of development like Arianne 6 did, with those 7 years above schedule!
Always good to see the pure resolution of vacuum, the CG people never get that right
That just fkd off from the pad. Wow. Telemetry onscreen would’ve been a bit more fun for us but well done chap.
I'm guessing the payload mass was much lower than the rocket's lift capacity...
It had a very light payload.
Ariane V was also always very fast off the pad, even with max payload it'll be one of the fastest rockets on the market
@@FlyingGospel Yeah, but twr doesn't really have anything to do with the cost of the rocket itself; it's like selling a house for having the clearest windows in the market: yeah it's cool, but you look in other parts of the house/rocket when selecting a launch provider.
To answer the question at ~ 48:14 about using propellant to cool turbine blades--The reason this is not done in rocket turbines is that the available coolant is SO cold that doing so sets up ;thermal strains in the blade section that are prohibitively high. In other words, the large thermal gradient produced by the cryogenic coolant does more harm than good. This has been studied a number of times. Air-breathing engines take care to use coolant air that is at the 'proper' temperature. Thank you very much.
very cool to see telemetry in km/s rather than km/h like in spacex streams
It's hard to quantify km/s. It's easy to quantify km/h since we use it everyday in cars.
@@asandax6 but it's rockets, not cars, you can't really quantify 27000km/h so may aswell use si units
Excellent video quality, for real!
Thank you for going through with making the moon landing video! I have family members that are genuinely curious about the validity of the landing who would love to watch it! Thank you for all of the videos!
I love the classic Saturn V intro to the live streams, thank you Tim for the great coverage!!!
I'm sure you have heard of the band "God Is An Astronaut". I've seen them play live, with rocketry videos being projected behind them. The intro music of this stream made me think of them. Actually, I thought it was them. (Their support act was the band "This Will Destroy You", which are actually a lot better. 😉)
Haven’t heard god is an astronaut but I do know of this will destroy you! This is my own music that I write and record
Congrats to ESA and, thank you, to you and your crew, Tim!!!
44:25 back in May I did my first climb 6000m and up there, you don't only see the atmosphere decrease in density, you feel it too as you struggle to breathe.
It's a truly surreal experience. I highly recommend ;)
You are taking me next time right ?
Loved this cherry pop of a launch! And I am 100% in agreement with your Boeing opinions
Just back from flying, many fellow pilots asking what the halo north of the Alps was, and if others saw it as well.. guess it was part of the Ariene 6
Beautiful!
The towers you see in brownsville and whole rio grande valley are where the valves for the irrigation pipes. Depending on lovcation and elevation changes height of those pipes.
Excellent Video, Tim!
Congrats!! 🚀
Beautiful launch. Congrats arianspace and esa. Top notch as usual from Ariane. Expensive, but it just works.
All the way to the end.. oh... wait... It didn't.
Love the ending
Starting at about 32min 05s (T + 1min 37), you can see bubbles forming under the logo stickers. Might be tiny air pockets locked in when the stickers were applied and are now expanding as the rocket goes up and atmosphere pressure goes down.
James Webb Telescope had it's blanked strategically perforated on some places to avoid such air expansion between sheets.
Congrats ESA! Thanks Tim
I was very sad to see the Ariane 5 program end. I loved that rocket, with its sleek design and generous payload capacity. Ariane 6 is much taller, but not as powerful, which I think is a loss for the world's space launch capacity, but I'm very happy to see it launch so perfectly now, and hope it will be a net positive addition to the world's launch options!
Congratulations Ariane
That intro gives me goosebumps every time ❤
Wow that was a satisfying liftoff
Thank you for this channel is soooo cool
Nice to get the speed in km/s rather than km/h. Wish SpaceX would get their act together
km/h is far better for non-space nerds
At least it’s not miles per hour
@@Chris_1024_disagree. It’s far easier to conceptualise km/s than km/h at those speeds
@@karl7428 ask a noob on the streets how much km/s is. He has no reference or feeling for this.
Everyone in the civilized world knows how fast km h is an can imagine how crazy fast that is,as he uses it every day.
ARIANE Lives Up To its Reputation for Reliability and 'Simplicity" --- Even Their LAUNCH FACILITIES Show Simplicity, Neatness, and Functional Reliability.
When I see some of the video shots from the rocket, it's still amazing to me. I grew up watching Mercury and Gemini and Apollo flights, when you were often lucky to get a glimpse of the launch. And we've all gotten used to CGI now, so I have to keep pinching myself and saying, no...that's REAL. That's LIVE. That's really our planet fading away down there. Space flight is exciting again. Who knew? Well...obviously some people did. P.S. dummy question: why don't we see flames from the engine nozzle when it's in space?
Holy crap that was some take off speed! NO slouch indeed.
I never tire of watching the Saturn V launches.
Looking at the beginning of this video, I'd loved to have been able to watch a Saturn V liftoff.
Excellent space shot and the altitude is still going up.
Those yellow clamp arms are cool. (just sayn) 😉
A beautiful start done correctly. 🌎
Bon voyage!
Thanks!
The upper stage has balls of steel!
Incredible to see some Irish tech at work! The engineering company, Réaltra provided the video telemetry system (VIKI), and the global navigation satellite system telemetry system known as GEKI! 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I think it's beautiful that a lot of european countries contributed to make this a success!
Great rocket launch
I think for these legacy companies, ie ones that have been around since before 1990, recoverability instead of reusability would be a good stepping stone. Obviously with companies like space X who had reusability in mind from the start, continuing to develop that is easy, but for most of the older companies, the idea of reusability economically died with the space shuttle. so I think that a puch for recovering parts would be a good step publicity wise so they can say they aren't just dropping them in ocean, salvage whatever they can and scrap the rest.
Edit*
Also I believe that countries are really pushing for national projects, especially Europe, because while that may be more expensive, the investment is (more or less) staying in Europe. I don't think Arianne will be going anywhere
The investment is made to secure a capability without being dependent on other nations.
For a while, Europe decided to rely on Russia for launches, and we see how that turned out.
Now they do not want to rely on USA or China either.
With the expected volume of launches (5/year for Ariane 5, now target 10/year for Ariane 6 but it has to be seen if that becomes true), reusability is hard to get economically feasible.
1:27:44 « 🇫🇷 L’orbite atteint à la fin du 2e boost Vinci est correct » “ 🇺🇸 The orbit after the 2nd Vinci boost (burn) is correct (aka nominal orbital insertion) ”
You can do a gravity separate tanks pulsejet rocket where each pulse creates a vacuum and pulls in liquid/solid fuel from both tanks. Valveless or valved pulsejet operated rocket.
you are the best of the best, thak you
Dang! Ariane 6 was MOVING! I wasnt expecting it to take off so fast and keep the same speed as it got higher! Well done engineers who worked on this beast!
You forgot to mention that they didn't make the intended orbit. That's kind of important in rocketry. ;-)
@@lepidoptera9337 They did make the intended orbit (payloads deployed correctly) but they failed to bring it back down.
@@Rob2 Dude... the two curves on the screen didn't match up. That's at the very least a partial mission failure and if you do this manned it's a dead crew. Stop lying. :-)
@@lepidoptera9337 Yes it is a partial failure, but the failure occurred AFTER they reached the intended orbit and deployed the satellites. Your claim was wrong.
The planned trajectory included raising the orbit a bit more and then dropping it, remember it was a test flight.
@@Rob2 Mission failure is mission failure. I do like to give attention to kids in cold basements, though, who like to redefine terms. How about we discuss the meaning of "is" the next time you post a reply? ;-)
43:40 it's been slowly rotating for the past minute or two. I don't recall seeing any other video with a rocket do this, is it normal?
Attitude control looked poor right through the launch.
That thing went flying off the pad!
It flew slowly and then it missed. By the time they will fly the second one SpaceX will be flying a 100 ton to LEO fully reusable Starship and they will be making four of those a week. :-)
@@lepidoptera9337 We'll hear from you when Starship is able to launch to GEO (or even GTO) in a single launch!
solid boosters-what ???very clean
Yes! And they are fully reusable. So are the fairings, the first and the second stage! Oh... wait... ;-)
No ads! I'm in 😂
It sure is go time when the SRB's kick in
Yes, you can literally see all that taxpayer money burning. It's a chemical rocket bonfire of government employee vanities. :-)
Congratulations my heart she mast wins ❤
True acceleration was the Sprint rocket at 100 G out the launch canister.
Yusaku Maezawa say, "Timmy not go Moon" Fly round Moon was Timmy reason for being. Now Timmy not go.
Neat even if it's not reusable.
But for Europe its better than nothing.
Good job ESA!
That thing screeeamed off the pad
Good job people
41:55 Lots of low rumble in your audio, sounds like vibrations from walking. Love your show!
people in chat and twitter saying it's not competitive.
my guys, if the only other options are depending on Russia or USA it is very much competitive.
this isn't just about building the best rocket. sure esa still has a lot of catchup to do, but it's about having the ability to launch positioning, intelligence, and other satellites independent of other nations.
Looks like a little update of the stuff I worked on in the 1960 and 70;s
Make a Kerbal Buran !
Watching this being Canadian is funny. I can't speak French, but I understand basic French. Yes, he said it was "nominal", but he also said "3 minutes to main engine cutoff" after that.
38:55 - OMG that curved horizon must mean the earth really is a sphere. 😂🤣😅
1,000 Miles is upper limit for serious drag effects.
Lotta horses under that hood! The barn door opened and...she gone!
So is any of this vehicle reusable ?
I'd have to say that I prefer chocolate croissant, or should I say croissants!!!
When I tried a chocolate croissant for the first time, I wondered where the chocolate was. And then I got a bite of the chocolate, yum😋😋😋
44:41 « 🇫🇷 Fin de visibilité à la Station Saint-Jean-de-Maroni » ‘’ 🇺🇸 Loss of communications (visibility) by Saint-Jean-de-Maroni ground station’’
wow that thing took off... erm like a rocket! 300km altitude in moments.
Projector nominal
That thing was doing a hundred before it cleared the tower! It was like a benny hill video😂
A tapered nose cone is an ogive nose cone opposed to a conical nose cone 😊
I think a lot of the confusion those people have regarding space travel is about the vacuum. They don't realize the difference is only 15 psi. Compare that to the pressure submarines encounter (nearly 900psi at 2000'.)
What wasn't the second stage pointing (more or less) prograde during the circularization burn...?
The only time I've tried to circularize an orbit on KSP using an attitude like that, I've seriously overshot the orbit's targeted apoapsis and I'm trying to bring that apoapsis down while raising the periapsis. This explanation might make sense, except that the rocket was over India and should have already been very close to apoapsis! Perhaps the simulated attitude view was just wrong? Weird.
Cannot shake the feeling that, because of the recent developments around reusable rockets, Ariane 6, while beautiful, feels like obsolescent on arrival.
Obsolete may be a little overstated. Sort of like Elon saying that buying a car without full self driving is foolish because it will soon be obsolete. SpaceX has proved that when done correctly reusability can greatly reduce costs. I don’t think ArianneGroup (or ULA or NASA for that matter) can currently do reusability in a cost effective way. That doesn’t make Arianne obsolete, it can still launch satellites from European territory which is a big plus for European countries. Although the cost is higher so there is more taxpayer involvement, but this allows them to continue developing their space capabilities, which likely will eventually venture into reusability, although probably more gradually like ULA is doing.
@@StevePemberton2 That's why I'm not saying fully "obsolete" but "obsolescent"
From wikipedia:
Cost of Falcon 9 : 69m$ for 5.5t to LEO.
Cost of Ariane 6: 81m$ for 10t to LEO.
So 12k$/kg for Falcon 9 vs 8k$/kg for Ariane 6
According to those numbers Ariane 6 is nearly 25% cheaper...
On the subject of the moon landing. Check out Corridor Crew. They have a video on it. They're film and visual effects experts, they point out how a lot of the moon landing footage just couldn't have been faked at the time. Essentially it would have been easier to actually go to the moon than fake it 🤣
see how quickly the animations appear?
European here: I am sad to say it but, this looks, in comparison to SpaceX, like something from the Udssr. Looks like we are 40 Years behind. At least with Ariane. There are a few Startups in Europe that are quite promising though.
Well it's no spacex but its so important for an independent access to space for europe. Projects like SpaceX with its insane risk profile is simply impossible for western state agency's. For stuff like that it needs a person with a lot of money and the will to take insane risk. But i think the rest of the world will catch up after some time as always.
That "Vitesse" a.k.a. velocity must be relative to the ground because 7.5 km/s is not fast enough to stay in orbit at that altitude in a "fixed" reference frame.
Usually one wants to show to the viewers a velocity which starts from zero at the launch pad. Anything else is too counter-intuitive.
One common choice to achieve this is to show the velocity as reported by the on-board GPS receiver. That's what SpaceX does.
GPS uses a coordinate system rotating with the Earth. So anything stationary on the ground shows as having zero velocity. Interestingly, in this coordinate system Geostationary satellites also have zero velocity.
@@cogoid I remember a launch to GEO where you could see the speed DECREASE all the time nearly down to zero, thinking "how is that possible" but finally realizing that it was earth-relative speed and zero is the right target.
it probably is at 350 km altitude and if that point is a slight apogee vs a say 180km perigee.
How come they didn't show the landing? ;P
The re-entry failed and is stuck in space… literally 🎉
Also, they don’t land… they sink in the ocean… when they can 😂
Looks like one of the booster separation engines didn't fire.
What are the surrounding towers for?
Lightning protection. Launch pads in the USA have very similar systems.
@@cogoid Thanks for the answer!
Didn't see the boosters land.
After the trips to the moon, there was a lung issue that came from breathing moon dust. Bringing out that info has some weight with people that think everything is fake.
The heat shield tech may need some new ideas. The CPU heat sink using heat pipes has an idea that could be a solution to the surface cooling. Has anyone studied shapes to punch through the plasma to reduce the damage created by the plasma burn. I would want to test methods to re-enter at much slower speeds. There should be an easy way to break through that barrier. It would be funny if the solution is dropping an anchor from LEO.
When do we get johnson and johnson space mission?
Do rockets contaminates a lot
