The European Ariane 6 launch system was scheduled to launch for the first time in the first half of next July, four years after the scheduled date. The European Space Agency said in Paris on Tuesday: A specific date for the launch will be announced on the first of next June.
Ariane 6 is designed to launch satellites into space for commercial and public customers and is significantly cheaper than its predecessor, Ariane 5, which remained in service between 1996 and 2023.
The new system, which was originally scheduled to be launched in 2020, aims to make the European space sector more competitive. The launch scheduled for July is extremely important for the industry, which has lacked the ability to send satellites into orbit since the last launch of Ariane 5 in July.
