Ariane 6 just left its four P120C boosters behind! Now it's time for the Vulcain 2.1 engine to take the lead propelling the rocket further away from Earth.

Zefiro-40 has finished its job and now it's time to say goodbye and turn on Zefiro-9, its smaller sibling.

The 20-metre fairing just opened up to reveal our payloads to space for the first time. The upper and core stages of the rocket remain connected to the satellites as the rocket keeps moving forward.

Vinci just fired for the third time to ensure a safe deorbit and allowing Ariane 6 to adhere to the zero debris approach.

And we have liftoff for Ariane 6 🚀 Flight #VA268 has just left Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana and is heading to low Earth orbit.

With the first Ariane 6 with four boosters, our fleet of rockets is complete 🚀 We will continue to work on upgrades to reduce costs, make our launch systems more robust and launch more often. For example, the powerful P160C rocket motor will replace P120C on both Ariane 6 and Vega-C rockets.

Ariane 6 just started to deploy the first of the 32 Amazon Leo satellites.

“Cartels,” they say. Meanwhile they’re targeting daycares, schools, courthouses, and people minding their business on the way to work. That’s not law enforcement. That’s scare tactics. And Texans see right through it. Stop lying. Stop terrorizing families. Do your job. #TX33 #ImWithJulie
