Ariane 6 Maiden Flight Expected By Summer

Handout photo dated February 28, 2024 shows the central core for the inaugural Ariane 6 flight currently being assembled. 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 Ariana Group via ABACAPRESS.COM

Cardinal Sentenced To 5.5 Years In Vatican Fraud Trial

File photo dated June 28, 2018 shows newly-appointed Cardinal, Giovanni Angelo Becciu (Italy) poses after Pope Francis installed 14 new cardinals during a consistory ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. A Vatican court on Saturday sentenced a once powerful Italian cardinal to five years and six months in jail for financial crimes at the end of a historic trial. Angelo Becciu, 75, a former adviser to Pope Francis who was once considered a papal contender himself, was the most senior clergyman in the Catholic Church to face a Vatican criminal court. He and nine other defendants, including financiers, lawyers and ex-Vatican employees, were on trial for accusations of financial crimes focused on an opaque London property deal. At the heart of the trial is the 350-million-euro ($ 380-million) purchase of a luxury property in London, as part of an investment that began in 2014 and ended up costing the Vatican tens of millions of euros.
