28 SEP. 2021 publication date 1038 Views

A timelapse was filmed under the stars on the Ariane 6 launch base at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

Preparations are under way for the arrival of Ariane 6, Europe’s next-generation launch vehicle. Imagine yourself standing on the launch pad in front of the 90-metre high mobile gantry looking at the stars.

Ariane 6, developed by ESA, has two versions depending on the required performance. This rocket will be capable of a wide range of missions to guarantee independent access to space for Europe.
