AstroEvent: Ariane 6, Europe's new heavy-lift rocket + sky observation

Professor Dr. Stefan Schlechtriem takes us on a journey through the exciting development of European spaceflight with his presentation on "Ariane 6, Europe's new heavy-lift rocket: where do we come from, where are we going?" The Ariane 6 represents the latest generation of launch vehicles and secures Europe's independent access to space. In July 2024, the Ariane 6 completed its successful maiden flight, ushering in a new chapter for European space exploration. It plays a key role in areas such as telecommunications, Earth observation, navigation, and space research.
