Ariane 6 Maiden Flight Expected By Summer

Handout photo dated February 21, 2024 shows Canopee cargo ship in Kourou, French Guiana. Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket will stage an inaugural flight between June 15 and July 31 in 2024. The keenly awaited window for the first test flight came after a test model of the new rocket passed a key long-firing engine test in French Guiana. ESA nations agreed in 2014 to develop Ariane 6 in response to growing competition in the commercial launch market but its arrival, originally due in 2020, has been repeatedly delayed. The maiden flight will carry some smaller satellites, including two from NASA. Photo by Ariane Group via ABACAPRESS.COM
