Ariane 6: A competitive launch solution
Ariane 6 is a competitive launch solution, designed to meet the economic requirements of today’s space market. This next-generation launcher was developed by ArianeGroup with a clear goal: to optimize every aspect of the production chain to provide the best solution for our clients. This strategic choice not only reduces manufacturing costs but also increases production rates. Ariane 6 ensures customized launch services tailored to all missions by offering flexible payload capacities and maximizing the efficiency of each launch.
What our customers are looking for is, above all, reliability, availability, and optimized costs for their launches. Ariane 6 perfectly embodies these expectations while offering an unrivalled service, supported by the expertise and passion of our teams throughout their mission.
The success of Ariane 6 is key for our European capability to access space. Ensuring the Union’s autonomous, resilient, and cost-effective access to space is a core priority of the EU’s space strategy. The Commission has entrusted Arianespace as European launch service provider to launch a number of satellites for our space flagships, Galileo and Copernicus. I wish Ariane 6 a long and successful life.
My team is responsible for building Project Kuiper’s ground infrastructure and satellites, and then getting those satellites to space. It’s an enormous undertaking and something we simply couldn’t do without the innovation and commitment that Arianespace and other launch partners demonstrate. Kuiper is deeply committed to seeing Ariane 6’s success. Our work together supports thousands of jobs and suppliers in Europe, the United States and French Guiana, and our partnership will have an impact that extends much further. Together, we’re going to bring the benefits of reliable, affordable, high-speed Internet access to communities around the world. Go Ariane 6, go!
