Ariane 64

The EADS Astrium Ariane 6 is a new generation space launch system leveraging technologies from the Ariane 5 ME launcher and slated to enter service after 2020 operated by the European Space Agency (ESA). Ariane 6 will be a modular rocket with a payload capacity of 3 to 6.5 metric tons in geostationary orbit. Dubbed PPH, the launcher’s configuration comprises two lower stages in which solid propellant is used and a cryogenic upper stage powered by a Vinci re-startable engine, developed by Snecma. Astrium was awarded the contract for the study phase and design of the Ariane 6 launcher on January 30, 2013. The Ariane 64 space launch systems features four P120C solid propellant strap-on boosters at first stage along the Vulcain 2.1 liquid propellant rocket engine. The second stage is powered by the Vinci re-ignitable engine. The first launch of the Ariane 64 is planned for 2025.
