#Ariane6 powers into space 🚀 Europe's new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, made its #FirstFlight from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana at 16:00 local time on 9 July (21:00 CEST). Ariane 6 is the latest in Europe's Ariane rocket series, taking over from Ariane 5, and featuring a modular and versatile design that can launch missions from low-Earth orbit and farther out into deep space. “With the successful first flight of Ariane 6, the European #SpaceIndustry has moved into a new era,” said Martin Sion, CEO of ArianeGroup. “This historic launch demonstrates the unfailing commitment of our teams and partners, whom I would like to thank warmly for this success, which reflects on the entire European industry. Seeing Europe’s new launcher lift off into space marks the culmination of an outstanding technical and technological adventure, and the beginning of a long history of Ariane 6 operations. The next flight models are already in production and the stages of the second model will be shipped to the Guiana Space Centre this autumn for the first commercial flight of Ariane 6.” This inaugural flight, designated VA262, is a demonstration flight whose aim is to show the capabilities and prowess of Ariane 6 in escaping Earth's gravity and operating in space. Nevertheless, it had several passengers on board. At 21:06 BST, 22:06 CEST, one hour after liftoff, the first set of satellites on board Ariane 6 were released from the upper stage and placed into an orbit 600 km above Earth. Satellites and experiments from various space agencies, companies, research institutes, universities and young professionals were included on this inaugural flight.

✅ #Ariane6 launch update: 🔧 As part of normal operations in the Ariane 6 preparation after mobile gantry removal, routine checks in the ground segment equipment showed a small issue in the data acquisition. It has now been resolved. ✅ Liftoff is now scheduled no earlier than 20:00 BST/21:00 CEST. 📺 Live coverage will now begin at 19:30 BST/20:30 CEST.

Today marks the culmination of years of dedication from our #SpaceEnablers : the inaugural launch of #Ariane6.🚀 The first flight, in a two-booster configuration, will consist of three phases, each demonstrating different capabilities of #Europe’s newest heavy-lift launcher. In the first phase of the flight, Ariane 6 will launch into space, separate its main stage from the upper stage, and initiate the first boost of the upper stage’s Vinci engine, placing it and its payloads into an elliptical orbit between 300 km and 700 km above Earth. In the next phase, the upper stage’s Vinci engine will re-ignite, transitioning Ariane 6 from an elliptical to a circular orbit 580 km above Earth and testing the launcher’s re-ignition capability. The final phase will push the cryogenic upper stage to its limits and validate its ability to perform under microgravity conditions, culminating in a controlled de-orbit over the ‘NEMO point’ in the South Pacific. This is a key feature designed to prevent the upper stage from becoming space debris. Join us on 9 July at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, with a launch window open from 15:00-19:00 local time (19:00–23:00 BST, 9 July 20:00–10 July 00:00 CEST) and catch the live coverage in several languages: English: https://lnkd.in/eQSM36dM French: https://lnkd.in/e4cQtvjM German: https://lnkd.in/e73NBjy5 #FirstFlight #SpaceIndustry European Space Agency - ESA CNES ARIANESPACE

Getting into and using space is a monumental undertaking, but its effect often remains invisible. How do we bring the everyday into focus? 🤔 This question inspired Maxime, Maël, Théo, and Lucas, #MotionDesign students and participants in our collaboration with e-artsup, l’école de la passion créative. They crafted a unique visual language that invites us to wonder and reflect. A huge thank you to these talented, creative young people for their inspiring work. In the #SpaceIndustry, we strive to make Earth the best place in space – just #ChoosePassion and join us on this incredible journey. Stay tuned as we countdown to #Ariane6 ’s inaugural launch! 🚀 #FirstFlight #SpaceEnablers
