Ariane 6 main stage departure

            The main stage for the first Ariane 6 flight being packed into a container at ArianeGroup facilities in Les Mureaux, France, on 6 February 2024. 

The main stage was constructed in Les Mureaux, France, at ArianeGroup’s assembly hall. On launch day later this year, the main stage for Ariane 6 will fire its Vulcain 2.1 engine and provide steering for eight minutes on the rocket’s ascent into space.

The upper stage, also designed and built by ArianeGroup, was assembled in Bremen. The fuel tanks, Vinci engine and unique Auxiliary Power Unit provide fuel pressure, electricity and propulsion to fire multiple times on each Ariane 6 flight.

The two stages that are now en route to French Guiana form Ariane 6’s central core. They will be connected horizontally at Europe’s Spaceport before being transported a few kilometres to the launch area and lifted upright.
