Space travel: Ariane rocket gains momentum - orders for ten launches
Traffic and communication, weather observation, military reconnaissance - all of this is shifting into space. Europe's most well-known rocket manufacturer is benefiting from this.
Arianespace has announced contracts for around ten launches of the Ariane 64, the most powerful version of the European Ariane 6 heavy-lift rocket. The US company Amazon has booked six of these launches. This is the largest number of orders for the rocket to date, according to Arianespace CEO David Cavaillolès. The Ariane 6, commissioned by the European Space Agency (ESA), is expected to have multiple launches in 2027, with nine to ten flights planned.
