Ariane 6

Ariane 6

Company: Arianespace

Developed by ArianeGroup for the European Space Agency (ESA), Ariane 6 is a European expendable launch system that has been under development since the early 2010s. Within the Ariane launch vehicle family, it takes the place of the Ariane 5. Ariane 6 was designed to be half as expensive as Ariane 5, and it was intended to carry more launches annually—up to eleven instead of just six or seven.
