European Space Agency Postpones Launch of Ariane 6 Rocket
It looks like the launch of the first European Ariane 6 rocket has been postponed. The launch, which was originally scheduled for July, has been pushed back to 2022 due to technical issues. The Ariane 6 rocket is a next-generation launcher being developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and is set to replace the Ariane 5 rocket. It promises to be substantially cheaper and more reliable than its predecessor, as well as capable of launching larger payloads. Although the postponement of the rocket’s launch is unfortunate, it is great to see the ESA taking the time to ensure that the rocket is safe and reliable before it launches. Here’s to hoping that the Ariane 6 will be ready for launch next year!
