Ariane 6 is expected to lift 11,500 kg to geostationary transfer orbit when equipped with four solid rocket boosters (Ariane 64).
Using the same P120C booster for both Ariane 6 and Vega C and concentrating production in one place is projected to reduce the price for Ariane 6 missions by 40 to 50 percent compared to the Ariane 5.
Ariane 6 is expected to lift between 4,500 and 5,000 kg to geostationary transfer orbit when equipped with two solid rocket boosters (Ariane 62).
New Glenn’s dual-launch arrangement will allow two satellites to launch together without coordinating mass differences as is required on Arianespace’s Ariane 5.
The X-band DSN-1 payload, also known as Kirameki-1, launched as part of JSAT's Superbird-8 satellite in April on an Ariane 5 rocket.
SpaceLogistics plans to launch a second Mission Extension Vehicle on Europe’s Ariane 5 rocket in 2020 to rendezvous with another Intelsat satellite.
SES used the Ariane 5 that had been assigned to SES-12 to launch SES-14 on an expedited schedule to replace the malfunctioning NSS-806 satellite.
SES originally planned to launch SES-12 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Arianespace but switched that satellite with one of its SpaceX missions in August.
An Arianespace Ariane 5 anomaly sent SES-14 into the wrong orbit, requiring an estimated four weeks of additional maneuvering with onboard propellant to reach geostationary slot.
Viasat’s ViaSat-2 and Inmarsat’s European Aviation Network satellite were originally slated for 2016 Falcon Heavy launches and launched on Arianespace Ariane 5 rockets last June.
Arianespace has orbited more than 570 satellites since 1980 using its family of three launchers—Ariane, Soyuz and Vega—from launch sites in French Guiana and Baikonur, Kazakhstan.
Arianespace is a subsidiary of ArianeGroup, which holds 74% of Arianespace’s share capital, with the balance held by 17 other shareholders from the European launcher industry.
The German division of ArianeGroup will build the turbo pumps that were previously supplied by Vega C prime contractor Avio.
ArianeGroup is working with MT Aerospace on implementing carbon fiber cryogenic tanks and other carbon fiber structures for the Ariane 6 upper stage.
Germany will produce turbo pumps for the Ariane 6 rocket and redirect its P120 funds toward technology maturation work on a carbon fiber upper stage that could give Ariane 6 an additional 1,000 kg of lift capacity.
The upper stage upgrade would increase Ariane 6’s maximum lift capacity to 13,000 kg, roughly 12 percent more than the heaviest Ariane 5 launch performed to date.
Some 70,000,000 EUR in German funds originally slated for a second P120 production line are being repurposed for a potential carbon fiber upgrade to the Ariane 6 upper stage.
The ViaSat-2 spacecraft that launched last year on an Ariane 5 was originally slated to launch on Falcon Heavy.
Thales Alenia Space originally planned to launch Bangabandhu-1 on an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket but switched to SpaceX at Bangladesh’s request.
Thales Alenia Space’s winning bid listed Arianespace’s Ariane 5 as the default launcher for Bangabandhu-1.
