Europe’s next big rocket in a nutshell
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Ariane 6 is the newest rocket in a series that has, for five decades, been launching Europe towards the stars. Building on all the knowledge, expertise and technology developed over the years, Ariane 6 will be versatile, modular, and European.
Guaranteeing Europe’s access to space for the next years, Ariane 6 in two versions, with either two or four boosters attached depending on the ‘oomph’ the mission requires. Versatile, its upper stage can reignite multiple times during a single flight, placing any spacecraft into any orbit - including constellations - saving a final boost to return and burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. Modular, it will be continuously adapted to the needs of the future space sector.
Four organisations take care of the Ariane 6 programme: ESA at the head, ArianeGroup as the main contractor, CNES who designed and built the launchpad and ArianeSpace who sell the launches.
13 countries contribute, thousands of Europeans have worked on it, and every one of us will benefit from the Earth observation, science, technologies and services it will make possible.

Thank you, ESA for being you.
4:20 Earth rotating in the opposite direction
You must respect their opinion! For them, it's the direction Earth is rotating in.
Hey there could be ways in which this is correct!
Could it be it be we were actually seeing the continents from the backside of the planet, with the front being transparent?
Or perhaps the earth is being viewed from a satellite which is orbiting earth in less than a day. The stars are also moving so that makes sense then.
Also, you could never see so much of America, Europe and Asia at once.

4:20 wrong rotation direction
ESA should know better. I can understand that not everyone in the production pipeline of the video knows about space stuff, but SOMEONE in quality control should have catched that ...
I thought the same, otherwise the rocket would fly above land and you don't want that to happen...
and earlier on the vieo, strange way to perform a de-orbit burn.... This time, I hope they will not reuse the gidance system from Ariane5 for Ariane6 whitout testing....
Maybe fictional satellite on which is camera is rotating that way?
Its time we in Europe invest in reusable rockets as well. This is a cool rocket, but it is already obsolete
don't worry, chemical rockets will be obsolete within two decades anyway.
With the number of launches it will have it's not necessary to be reusable. They're developing reusable ones aswell
Ariane group is making a reusebel rocket a small sat launscher called Maia and eventully Reusebel rockets will replace A VI. Also A VI is not really obsolete with its ride share abillity.
Its not obsolete...

Poland cannot into space.
For everyone saying Europe should build a reusable rocket. They are working on that. It's the Themis programme.
Yes it's a bit late but keep in mind that Ariane 6 was conceived around 2010.
Years before SpaceX demonstrated the feasibility of reusable rockets.
Also take into consideration the unbelievable war in Ukraine. Lots of plans had to be delayed because of this. There was a somewhat promising plan with the Soyuz rocket. This was a development that lead to cooperation on landing a rover on Mars as a starter. Europe is not a single country. This patchwork of different countries is no benefit to large projects! Neither is a gouvernment known for its ability to react as efficient as a private company which can lay off people, squeeze efficiency to the last drop etc. Good that Europe is cooperating with USA on space projects, amoung many things. Size matters. Everybody is talking about Space X and for a good reason. But with the momentum in China, it might soon be them we all talk about.
I cross my fingers for Ariane 6 and beyond.
It is worth mentioning that Europe and USA is very often not just duplicating each other. I have many examples of how both parts explore differently to achieve the most of research. Being it helocopters, transport planes, energy or rockets. Europe seems to try an industrializing process taking automation and knowhow from the car industri as a way to reduce costs. It is all very exciting.
Best wishes to the Ariane team : )
I believe Elon begged ESA to go the reusability route. ESA pushed back hard. Arianspace famously chided SpaceX at a conference. ‘’Reusability is a dream” “You shouldn’t be trying to sell things that are unrealistic” Richard Bowles, Arianespace, Singapore. I don't remember what SpaceX said, something like we will see. Ariane 6 is supposed to cost half of Falcon 9 launch cost of $60 million - so $30 million. This is a fantasy number. The cost to customers will be at least F9 cost or more. It's also likely Ariane 6 will need subsidies above this (in the 100's of millions per year - so maybe a few billion over the launch campaign) AND will need to basically force launches to pay maybe 2x what they would need to individually?
@@randominternet5586 When Elon says something it isn't a fantasy but when ArianeSpace, a company with a proven trackrecord of being reliable, states what a launch will cost that's apparantly a fantasy and somehow the cost will be magnitudes higher? Do you have literally any source backing up your bizarre math?
@@hedgehog3180SpaceX have THE most reliable rocket in history. Falcon 9 Full Thrust has flown 332 out of 332 missions successfully.
Ariane 6, assuming they launch every month as advertised, can’t even match those reliability numbers for 27 years, even if everything goes perfectly.
SpaceX has literally more consecutive successful Falcon 9 Full Thrust launches than Arianespace has total launches, successful or otherwise, since they were founded in 1980.
Why are you giving Arianespace the credit for a proven track record? Objectively SpaceX has a better one.

As much as reusability is important, it is true that it only matters if they're launching a lot. Falcon 9 is launching at such an insane rate they need reusability (100+ launches a year). Ariane 6 won't ever be launching at anything even close to that, probably less than 10 a year if even that. Reusability doesn't make sense to them.
We cant just build and ship Ariane VI as quicklly as spaceX with Falcon 9 we need to launsch from Guyana as here in europe we care about safty unlike the chiness and if we launsch from europe we would probply drop a booster or 2 onto a town and its also more efficent to launsch from guiana. Ariane biggest hinderance is not cost its the way ESAs launsch inferstrucktur is set up but also what you said is true i just wanted to add this
@@ILikeAlotofThings-SLS Yeah you're right, A6 couldn't really launch from Europe (Europe is fine for SSO or Polar orbit, but not GEO, which is kind of what A6 is best at). Though I don't think it's the main problem with A6 - it's a good rocket, there's just a lot better.

4:15 The Earth is rotating in the wrong direction 😂
There's no point beating anyone up about "reusable" unless they've got a business plan that needs frequent+regular 'space-trucking'. Starlink's service vehicles - because that's what they are - are paid for by Starlink, they're an unavoidable ongoing cost to be controlled; that's why they're so cheap when they're used for other people's launches. Nobody else's rockets are being matched to fully-predictable forever budgets. Paying the extra to build reusability in for something that might never be used (that's how unpredictable non-routine spaceflight is) can't make it past accountants.
You're not going to be able to match SpaceX without a make-money proposition to pay for your own space trucks.
Juggling nuclear waste for 10,000+ years at national-security level is presumably not cheap? Ask the nuclear industry to truck their waste away - preferably before Musk offers to do it.
Finally, someone intelligent
Also they started the design a long time ago
@polishkerbal6920, where?!?
I disagree with that self limiting self defeating attitude. You're plugging blackberry phones over iPhones and claiming that it's fine, because your blackberry is fine and that's what you've always used. We're simply past that point in history. In 2023, 90% of mass to orbit was on a partially reusable Falcon 9. China were crashing rockets just this week trying to copy SpaceX. China have no need of "hype". Rocketlab are doing it. Electron are doing it. ISAR in germany are using off the shelf parts to make their rockets cheaper.
There is no market for an expensive single use 1980's style rocket that wastes tax payers money. Unfortunatly for security, we must do it anyway but I don't have to be happy about it.
Very good video¡ but why no mention the capacity launch thrust engine's and ¿
Cool video!! But second stage doing prograde burn to deorbit kind of threw me off lol
Sorry I can’t say I am impressed, 1960s tech with little innovation
Ariane 6 launches with four boosters, scheduled for next year, will be able to transport 11.5 tons to geostationary orbit and 21.6 tons to low Earth orbit. Ariane is superior to the Angará-A5 rocket in tons to geostationary orbit.
Isn't the cost of this rocket something like $150M+ per launch (minimum)? Not terrible, but SpaceX and Starship should be competitive.
Cape Canaveral, Florida in the house
Why are their heads so small?
I note the use of a narrator with an American accent. Was this deliberate, to slight the British? Nice rocket, I’m sure it’ll work well as per Ariane 5. The latter did a beautiful launch of the JWST. And yet the technology is already obsolete, and launch costs are high.
Can't believe, on a space vid animation, to see the Earth rotate backwards 😢
How many of Ariane 6 rocket's parts are reusable?
The propellant kind of is?
0, this rocket has not reusable, but experiment with the prometheus reusable booster are on projet for 2030's
the boosters are refurbishable, there are plans to make a reusable booster in the future but that is still a while away
I'm surprised it took them this long to develop a restartable upper stage, but better late than never I guess.
04:15 earth is rotating in the wrong direction 😭
Who do we europeans need to bother in our governments to make sure that the ESA receives the budget that it deserves to unite our european soil by joint space exploration?
Maybe exactly what european society needs to get one step closer to the United States of Europe and the rebirth of our roman/european empire.
Only together we will stay relevant in this century. The future is europe!
Make Europe Great Again! ❤
Edit: guys stop blaming ESA for lagging behind. The reason whole europe loses relevance is not the fault of our scientists and engineers... it is our politics. And our separatism and nationalism. Want patriotism? Project it on Europe. That would be a start. We are being destabilized by all global powers. Because not a single one of them is interested in a new emerging power, a sovereign european state. We are a threat to their world order. We will only find relevance in unity!
We have the economical capabilities, the talented people heck with french guyana we even have a better space port than the muricans. So the only thing that is in europes way to the old days of glory are we, the germans, the dutch, the french, the italians, the spanish and many many many more that are not less important. Only if we can accept subordination under our new european flag, only then we will succeed.
It's sad to see that ESA is still on single-time use rockets...
the next Ariane Rocket can be partially reusable and already on study (Ariane NEXT), with the Prometheus reusable methane boosters
@@tecmons Ariane 6 designed way back in time when reusable environment wasn't yet active.
Then they were working on an old design anyway, and should have started anew. Booster reuse is now well over ten years a proven reality.
A point for immediate action could be the strap on boosters. If they make them reusable liquid fuel boosters, the whole rocket would also be safer to launch crew. Solid boosters can't throttle or restart; they're always one-way, and too risky for crew flight.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
Its ESA's new old school rocket?

Rocket isn’t reusable, what’s so great on this rocket. Engine isn’t full-flow staged combustion cycle engine and still uses hydrogen, ESA uses 1980’s technology and wants compete with the new startups, no change. they lost their game.
Are there any plans for reusable rockets?
Yes, for more information visit our website. www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Transportation/Full_ignition_for_ESA_s_reusable_rocket_engine

Reusability will not be done by state institutions, because they don't need to operate for profit. Its your money they use so why care about cost.
I am sure ESA is looking very closely to what SpaceX is doing. Development of new rockets are long processes, especially with so many different countries involved. I can only assume the task was to build something that is more powerful then the Ariane V and that the Ariane VI should be able to deliver large payloads to the moon and beyond. Certainly that is the next focus of ESA after the ISS is decomissioned in the next decade.
That said they must meet budget and reliability standards.
Would they been able to build something reusable that is able to get large payloads to the moon within budget, and dont fail at the first tries?
Love how the comments cant be exited about a non reusebel rocket and know nothing about the european space Programm and say europe isnt developing reusebel rockets despite it doing exactly that ever heard pf Maia ? Yeah i didnt think so
@@ILikeAlotofThings-SLS Also, even if overall worse then SpaceX alternatives there are many use cases for Ariane6

first successful reusable launcher flight was in 2015. We in Europe are lagging at least 10 years behind probably 15 years.
Europe has highly criminal left wing governments - for example like in germany.
They are going back to mule-karts.
Go ESA next is a reusable rocket
Ariane 6 is EOL sadly. I hope Ariane can work on a Falcon 9/Heavy rival immediately. Do we know what plans are in place to remain competitive?
Ariane is making reusebel rocket starting with the small sat launcher Maia next year and there are also other plans for big reusebl rockets like Ariane VII
The THEMIS program is an ESA test of reusability, it should begin hop this year or the next.
Aside, a lot of European new space is also developing reusability (Maia for Ariane, Zephyr for Latitude, RFA etc). Ariane NEXT (or 7) is expected around the 2030s and should be reusable!
a very unambitious rocket. whats even the advantage over ariane 5?? wasting development money for same LEO and GTO masses...
@@S1nwar cheaper, lower emissions, can carry more stuff
Want to throw hate, because it's a non reusable new rocket, but I will be seeing if this is a path goes to anywhere. Good luck Ariane 6!
to be completely fair, this has a much greener footprint than spacex because they didnt waste a bunch of components and didnt really crash as much as spacex did.
Spacex who mind you, still dont have a fully reusable rocket that can be used to make it make sense, as they still dont meet roi because of limited uses
Ariane 6 is arriving as a matter of urgency to replace Ariane 5 and ensure that Europe retains independent access to space.
Ariane 7 will very probably be reusable, because esa is working on new methane-fuelled Prometheus engines that will be reusable.
You also have the Italian Vega launcher, fired from the same space centre, but it has some reliability problems.
Is it a single use rocket that falls in the ocean and then is left there?
yes

impressive! reusability-plans?
Why isn't a rocket new in 2024 reusable?
Becouse it wasnt designed to be reusebel lets go over the parts Boosters are solid so they can only be reused like the shuttle did becouse once lit they cant be turned off,the core is a sustainer so it is light for 8 minutse stright and gets really speedy and far away the only way to reuse it is probaply like ULA wants to reuse Vulkans engine section oh and the engines are basickly dead after a 8 minute firing, and vinci is a orbital stage which is really difficult to bring back in 1 piece. Also A VI will only fly 8 times max per year for resebillity you need flight rate which dosnt exist when your have 1 main customer ESA and mayby you launsch for NASA a few times or mayby ride share 2 commercial GEO sats once in a life time. So A VI is set up in a way where reusebeillity is difficult and for its flight rate is not needed .
- I don't get it. Why are they confessing?
- They're not confessing.
- They're bragging.
Good but can we reuse those parts or is everything still single use? Since it wasn't mentioned I can guess the answer but I really expect a new modern rocket to have some amazing cost saving methods like either reuse, ease of production or using minimal custom parts. ESA doesn't need it's own version of the SLS. Hope this project does well but I also hope we try our best.
They do try their best within politics and budget of EU.. i also want us to increase our efforts and compete better on a global level... but this is impossible with a fractured far from semiunited european union... its not like money falls from heaven for the ESA
If you want ESA to become the speartip of humanity then you need to make one sovereign country out of europe and make space exploration a doctrine in a new european constitution but right now this still fails because of "muuuh nationalism separatism"
@@carnaxilos I think it is hilarious that you think so but hey go on spread the word of your believes. Maybe one day you find likeminded individuals who will make it happen for you.
@@basbekjenl what do you think is the problem then?
@@carnaxilos The problem is wasteful spending, but your solution to eliminate that waste is as I mentioned hilarious. I do not believe uniting Europe would result into additional funding for the ESA. If the ESA would showcase a cost cutting method they could get the funding for it, invest money to save money is much more appealing to those who determine budgets than ideological "For the good of man kind we must do everything within our power."
Much of the budget is wasted on short sighted, short term solutions to problems that would be much better served with a longer-term solution however long term is unpopular since you have to invest a lot up front and you gain the benefits after much time. ESA needs to show how that investment is going to save money in the long term, only after the people allocating budget can understand the return of that investment in their terms will they allocate for those kinds of projects.
But that's just my thoughts on the matter since you asked, I'm no expert. I'm no one important who can sign off on anything, I'm just someone sitting at home amused and annoyed at the wasteful behaviours of others while lamenting the state of what has become acceptable these days.
Seriously I am no expert, I smile to hide my frustration like any other and I appologize if my amusement caused you frustration in return.
Go Ariane 6. Ignore all ignorant tech bros that think that reusability is the only path to the future.
Explain to me why a reusable rocket is worse then a non reusable rocket?
Reusable rockets are the future.
@@LemonsRage @LemonsRage As Elon Musk said, reusability only makes sense if you do a lot of launches per year. Also, Peter Beck said that. Ariane 6 will be launched 1 or 2 times per year. The absolute maximum will be 8 per year.
Only someone on the European tax-payer funded gravy train would say such nonsense.
Maybe the reason we only launch so few times is because it's prohibitively expensive. Maybe it's prohibitively expensive because the launch vehicle is disposable.
"Unable to send humans into orbit."
Is it re-usable ?.
no, but, the future Ariane 7 can be, but in the 2030's ESA try the Prometheus Reusables booster for Ariane 6
We'have to make do with what we've got, and it's something to be proud off, but at this point anything non-reusable is no longer enough. The amount invested on the Ariane program makes it easy to fall for the sunk cost fallacy, but if we really want to be consistent (and competitive) with EU values, efforts should be pivoted to reusability programs. I'm not really familiarized with this area so the'y might as well already be doing exactly that, or maybe it's all an intricate web of politics and EU-style bureaucracy that makes pivoting a futile effort.
most rockets are made for specific purposes, this is about space exploration not space tourism 🥱

Why not make ot reusable?
Ariane VI is really difficult to reuse the boosters can only be paracuted down the core is a sustainer and gets really far from the pad so only smart likw Vulkan centaur reuse would make sense but then Vulcain would need to be modified to be reusebel and you need to make the engine section detachebel and vinci is in orbit which is really difficult to reuse . So answer becouse Ariane id designed in a way that makes resebillity difficult but Europe is working on reusebl rockets like the small dat launcher maia
