Europe’s next big rocket in a nutshell
Ariane 6 is the newest rocket in a series that has, for five decades, been launching Europe towards the stars. Building on all the knowledge, expertise and technology developed over the years, Ariane 6 will be versatile, modular, and European.
Guaranteeing Europe’s access to space for the next years, Ariane 6 in two versions, with either two or four boosters attached depending on the ‘oomph’ the mission requires. Versatile, its upper stage can reignite multiple times during a single flight, placing any spacecraft into any orbit – including constellations – saving a final boost to return and burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. Modular, it will be continuously adapted to the needs of the future space sector.
Four organisations take care of the Ariane 6 programme: ESA at the head, ArianeGroup as the main contractor, CNES who designed and built the launchpad and ArianeSpace who sell the launches.
13 countries contribute, thousands of Europeans have worked on it, and every one of us will benefit from the Earth observation, science, technologies and services it will make possible.

"Unable to send humans into orbit."
3:49 Ariane 6 is also italian. As you said, Boosters are from Vega-c and built in Italy
4:20 wrong rotation direction
proven and uninspiring
Will it compete with Starship though? I didn't think so.
An American narration for a European video? What's going on there?
It's not European. It's French. Developed by Centre national d'études spatiales and manifactured by ArianeGroupe (a French company).
Go ESA next is a reusable rocket
Its time we in Europe invest in reusable rockets as well. This is a cool rocket, but it is already obsolete
2:32 Deorbit burn is not retrograde
Exciting developments!
New rocket worse than what a company could do ten years ago!😂
– I don't get it. Why are they confessing?
– They're not confessing.
– They're bragging.
Reusability will not be done by state institutions, because they don't need to operate for profit. Its your money they use so why care about cost.
