Inaugural firing of Ariane 6 planned between June 14 and the end of July. Teams at the Kourou Space Center, in Guyana, are still aiming for a mid-June launch for the moment.
Emmanuel Macron is due to visit the assembly site of the new European launcher on Tuesday. It will then remain sheltered from the gantry mounted on wheels, which will be moved a few days before takeoff. A whole process designed to limit costs and ultimately succeed in increasing the rate of fire.
