Ariane 6 is Europe’s heavy launcher and a key element of ESA’s efforts to ensure autonomous access to space for Europe’s citizens. The launcher has three stages, consisting of two or four boosters along with a main stage and an upper stage. Ariane 6 will be available in two versions depending on the performance required: Ariane 62, which flies with two boosters, and Ariane 64, which uses four boosters. In its four-booster configuration, Ariane 64 can launch payloads of approximately 11.5 tonnes into geostationary transfer orbit and around 21.6 tonnes into low Earth orbit. 📹 European Space Agency (ESA) #ESA #Space #Rocket #Ariane6
