Happy to see the Ariane 6 up and running! Random point to the video editor though, for some reason the thrust sound during the initial ascent is only mixed into the left audio channel.
Sehr schön! Habe es gestern den gesamten Abend über bis zum Ende des Livestreams verfolgt. Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Super Arbeit! Ich finde es echt gut, dass Kameras an der Rakete montiert wurden! Das gab schöne Ansichten. Auch mit der Statusleiste am Bildrand. Ich hoffe, dass das künftig beibehalten wird, denn so ist es super interessant! Beste Grüße! :)
@@c.a.nixiii4650 huh? Wdym? This isn’t about SpaceX, And btw pleased be informed: the Falcon Mvac engine can reignite up to 4 times and perform a de-orbit, all their Starlink satellites can get decommissioned and de-orbited using their ion thrusters or passively re-enter within months if all else fails. I don’t know why you’re bring up them though lol 😅
It’s not every day a new launch vehicle becomes operational, let alone one so significant and capable as Ariane 6! Congratulations to all involved; this was an absolutely spectacular launch-especially for the maiden flight of a new vehicle! I loved seeing the onboard camera views, and hope they’ll continue to show those for future launches. As a matter of interest: I was surprised that the rocket lifted off right at T-0; I had expected the sequence to be like Ariane 5, where T-0 was engine ignition and liftoff happened several seconds later. Anyone more knowledgeable than me know why this was changed for Ariane 6, with engine ignition now happening at T-7 seconds and the rocket lifting off at T-0? Just something I found interesting.
It's just bookeeping. Most vehicles release holdowns at T=0. This vehicle has two propulsion systems running at launch. The Vulcain takes several seconds to start. The solids take a fraction of a second.
@@MrKentaroMotoPI I know it’s not all that important, I’m just curious as to why they changed it. For Ariane 5 they lit the Vulcain at T=0, and then waited several seconds for it to ramp up, before lighting the solids at like T+7. Since the actual sequence of events is so similar between Ariane 5 and Ariane 6, I had assumed they would keep the countdown milestones the same, and so was a bit surprised to see the Vulcain light up at T-7 instead of T=0.
Great 1st launch. Bodes well for future launches supporting Europe. Hope to see it launch a Sierra Nevada crewed Dream Chaser space shuttle one day to a new European space station. Love the Irish company provided cameras. Great footage!
Finally onboard footage. I still think A6 was the wrong decision and they should have gone with a more innovative & reusable design. Hope it doesn't take to long till we actually get that. Congrats to the maiden launch of A6.
Thing with innovation and reusability is it adds cost. Up-front cost for the extra R&D, and ongoing operating costs for the refurbishment infrastructure. If you're launching a lot of rockets quickly (like SpaceX), that investment can pay off. But for slower launch cadence, it can end up costing you more than just expending the vehicle. Reusability also significantly affects payload capacity due to the extra hardware & fuel required for the fly-back and landing. Both ESA and other providers like ULA are looking into recovery of just the engines & associated hardware, rather than giving the entire stage the ability to fly back and land itself. This could be a way to reuse the most complex and expensive parts of the launch vehicle without so many trade-offs in performance and program costs. But even this concept will increase development and operating costs to some extent, so the cost-benefit math has to be considered.
@@SynchronizorVideos There are two choices on reusable rocket, expendable rocket or not. They will just remove those landing legs and grid fins for weight reduction
They need some kind of inertial guidance system to keep them on trajectory. This one in specific uses hemispherical resonator gyros . While not traditional gyroscopes (there's actually no spinning element inside them) they fulfil a similar function.
A mass of people see more ubisoft stuff instead of investigate in this project. Change the visible media for the young generation and you will get more success.
Great, but please use pure noise from the rocket next time. It's not so exciting otherwise. ❤ To get one china, Russia, usa lvl, EU needs to multiple investments. Well, wonder what's needed to wake up, currently writing from starlink in EU.
Why is ESA still designing rockets where EVERY part: the booster, the solid rocket motors, and the fairing halves, are all thrown away? That seems awfully wasteful and expensive.
Go ESA! Go Europe, we need a crew rated upper stage capsule without changes to the main rocket the ISS is 6 years from their reentry in the earth atmosphere and destruction. Europe needs to develop a crew rated capsule so who knows maybe a more advanced Space Station will be build between allies ESA (EU) USA, Japan, South Korea, Austrália and many other true allies. China will be the only major power to have a rocket program that is praticly a copy of the Ariane 5 but is crew rated and they have their own space station God knows what they are putting in space and testing. So i think a new and better Station will be build but without the Russians they will go to the chinese celestial palace because the MIR is more then dead. So European countries have to be more bold in their decisions and ESA have to be visionaire and think about the Future
I am from India. I don't believe in names like Nasa , Isro or Esa. I believe in human space agency. Between I am great fan of ESA, and watching every good documentary about human space endeavour in space contributed by esa also. Great work. Cheers and best wishes to ESA. Love from India.
Go Europe! But why not a upper stage with the capability to do manned trips to the ISS that will be dismantle by 2030 but i bet a new and better project will already be on the pipeline. Europe need a capsule capable of transporting austronauts to space to the ISS or a new projects that will not be easy because no shuttle is avaible but look at America now they have to delivery capsules that are manned the Dragoon from SpaceX from that fool and the most promissed the Boeing Starliner! Europe have to be more bold in their projects. China already have their own space station, they are in the moon with their flag and have a copy Rocket of the Ariane 5 but with their own boosters but a copy. I hope in the near future Ariane develop a manned piloted version for a total European project, but at least now Europe have the capability to launch satalites and complete for good the Galileo GPNS and new inverted telescopic to have better eyes in our enemies on earth and Europe need a internet 🛜 constelacion on the air for wireless NET around the globe and Europe specialy for military thecnology aiding new systems and improvement of resistance to electronic warfare countermeasures
They didnt and still dont have any plans to crew-rate the ariane. NASA and ESA are friends, NASA often flies ESA astronauts to the ISS, so no point for us europeans to develop our own crew rated vechicles.
Getting a launch vehicle human-rated involves a whole lot of extra design considerations and other steps - some of which can actually work against the capabilities of a launch vehicle for simpler cargo missions.
@@SynchronizorVideos Men you should see the specs off the Ariane 6 the Rocket upper stage is already capable of attaching a crew rated capsule without to much changes in software and non in the rocket design, the software for docking is already done and hardaware by laser guidance, Europe just need the will to do it and to be more bold in their projects its a win win situation for the USA to
Let's stop growing parsley on a spaceship and bragging about it for years. These launches are a waste of time. There has been space research that has gone crazy for 50 years: 1 There is a lot of nonsense about wormholes, speed of light, expanding space... nonsense. 2 Lots of idle people are doing useless jobs and competing for places at universities. 3 A lot of money and metal is being wasted for a lot of useless work... Who do you think you are with a technology that has not yet reached the closest system? You can't do it, let me do it.
Expendable rockets will be superseded by reusable ones mainly for economic reasons. Although this was a nice launch to watch and I'm glad it succeeded, single-use hardware is a dead end.
If you don't launch frequently enough, you'll spend more money on the extra R&D and all the infrastructure to turn the rocket around than you will just building a new one. The extra hardware and fuel to fly back a booster also significantly cuts into payload capacity. Look up the lifting ability of an expended vs. reused Falcon 9 for an example. It's a BIG difference - especially for higher-energy profiles like GTO.

Congrats on the mostly successful first flight of the Ariane 5.25. However, one of the more important highlights is the fact that the second stage is now a collision/space junk hazard starting at almost 600 km and slowly decaying for MANY years due to an APU failure meant to help power the vehicle to a proper deorbit burn. Sorry. Not a good look. Considering how there are thermally protected items still on-board, there is no question that chunks will be making it to the ground when its uncontrolled re-entry finally happens. Cheers.
Wake up dude, there's thousand of american and russian things in orbit, some of them even bigger than Ariane's 2nd stage... How many peolple has been hurt or killed with that in the last 50 years? No question for sure.
The chances of it being hit are low enough. Compare the single ariane upper stage to the many US, Soviet/russian, Chinese debris still in space. Some of them are bigger. And if it finally burns up and the capsules free themselfs, they very likley wont harm anything. There has been only 1 incident where a part of a rocket fell on someone, that was from a Delta II failure. And the person didnt even get injured, so yeah😅
The boosters on ariane are solid rockets, I think the space shuttle tried reusing that type of booster and it simply wasn’t worth it. Regarding the first stage would be a lot more valuable, and I think they might be looking into ways to do that.
