Ariane 6: Development of Europe’s Largest Rocket | European Space Agency

Ariane 6: Development of Europe’s Largest Rocket | European Space Agency

The first half of 2024 saw hundreds of people across Europe building and preparing Europe’s new heavy-lift rocket—Ariane 6.

Huge engines, boosters and outer shells met tiny screws, electrical boards and masses of supercooled fuel. All this came together at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, for the spectacular first launch of Ariane 6 on July 9, 2024, restoring Europe’s access to space.

Get a glimpse at the teamwork, skill, and care that went into this moment over many months, in this montage of Ariane 6 images, videos and timelapse photography spanning January 30 to July 9, 2024.
