Ariane 6 first liftoff

Europe’s new rocket Ariane 6 powered Europe into space taking with it a varied selection of experiments, satellites, payload deployers and reentry demonstrations that represent thousands across Europe, from students to industry and experienced space actors.
This inaugural flight, designated VA262, is a demonstration flight to show the capabilities and prowess of Ariane 6 in escaping Earth's gravity and operating in space. Nevertheless, it had several passengers on board.
Ariane 6 was built by prime contractor and design authority ArianeGroup. In addition to the rocket, the liftoff demonstrated the functioning of the launch pad and operations on ground at Europe's Spaceport. The new custom-built dedicated launch zone was built by France's space agency CNES and allows for a faster turnover of Ariane launches.
Ariane 6 is Europe’s newest heavy-lift rocket, designed to provide great power and flexibility at a lower cost than its predecessors. The launcher’s configuration - with an upgraded main stage, a choice of either two or four powerful boosters and a new restartable upper stage - will provide Europe with greater efficiency and possibility as it can launch multiple missions into different orbits on a single flight, while its upper stage will deorbit itself at the end of mission.
ESA’s main roles in the Ariane 6 programme is as contracting authority - managing the budget from Member States participating in the Ariane 6 development programme; and as launch system architect - ensuring that the rocket and launch pad infrastructure work together.
Ariane 6 is the latest in Europe's Ariane rocket series, taking over from Ariane 5 featuring a modular and versatile design that can launch missions from low-Earth orbit and farther out to deep space.

Awesome to see the Ariane rocket in flight again. Good luck ESA 🤞

[@bb_summernp2881]

i like the design of this rocket. So simple and clean very elegant, but at same time so powerful. I think they have to work on spectacularization of launch events. More cameras, more telemetry, more enthusiastic comments. Marketing is always a good thing

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Thank you for your valuable feedbacks! We will forward this to our team! ☺️🚀✨

[@thestormcrafter]

Maybe make the commenting English. I didn’t understand a single thing.

[@STS-Dreamer]

@@thestormcrafter​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠they have French, German, and English feeds with commentary in those respective languages; the French you hear here is simply the PA person who is physically there at mission control calling out the important milestones like liftoff and MECO etc over loudspeaker so he is present in every feed.
also even if it was a French only feed ArianeSpace, a French launch provider, are under no obligation to provide you with English commentary.

[@thestormcrafter]

@@STS-Dreamer That wasn’t meant insulting. It is just that while we were at constructive criticism of the video, I wanted to add that the choice of language is not best suited for an international audience.

[@Puleczech]

@@STS-Dreamer It is not about "obligation", it is about reaching wider audience. Very simple.

[@jackturner8472]

Not reusable, no new technology, weak lift capacity. All this secures is private industry undercutting europe and the Ariane series being retired in five years.

"Trajectoire nominale." Love it. Awesome to see the launch.

[@kevinh22]

[@realEpicGold]

Beautiful! It went up so fast too!

[@ainkahlberg7539]

how did You know? No data for people except time. No altitude, no speed. Classified? Or it just over "need to know"? Quite as much information as in the advertising of washing powder with "wonderful molecules".

[@realEpicGold]

First of all, later in the flight they showed a lot of data.
Second, this rocket can hold almost 20 tons and in another configuration 21 tons of payload. This was the first flight, and it carried only a small payload.
But because it still had max fuel for data, it was really light and had a really quick liftoff. Compare it to Starship, that rocket sits on the pad for a while after ignition.

[@ZeHunter6969]

@@ainkahlberg7539 if you would have watched the stream, you would have seen all kinds of data.

[@thesilentpearl8575]

@@realEpicGold all liquid rockets sit in the pad for a few seconds because liquid engines need a few seconds to start up. ariane 6 was the same. the core stage lit up a few seconds before liftoff. its just that hydrogen fumes are almost invisible with only a small blue flame (with the exception of delta 4's orange fumes but that's because the RS-68s were ablatively cooled). the liftoff was synonymous with the lighting of the solid rocket boosters.

[@patricedemalartic2249]

So bravo Europe ! So Bravo ARIANE the 6th !! «Pilotage calme, trajectoire nominale» = Perfect ! Juste un peu + de télémétrie pour le show… et on touchera les étoiles…;)

[@orihime1]

I'm so proud and glad to see Ariane 6 in flight. People have bailed on us last minute but Ariane got delayed just making sure everything was perfectly safe and operational. This is how it's done, and what makes Ariane and ESA great in my opinion. As a space enthusiast and French, I'm truly happy. I understand it may have lacked some show and English but English is not required to understand what the video shows you. You can see for yourself what's happening, a rocket flying perfectly.

C'est génial de voir l'ESA à nouveau à la conquête de l'espace!
Toutefois, si vous souhaitez créer de l'intérêt pour le public, une vidéo de ce type manque un petit peu de pop. C'est une magnifique fusée et un magnifique accomplissement des équipes, mais présenté de cette manière, cela tombe un peu à plat.
Pas besoin de faire du Space X mais un peu d'enthousiasme quand même ^^'
