@esa @Arianespace Est-ce que vous utilisez Canopée en tant que démonstrateur technologique, pour dans le futur ajouter des voiles sur Ariane 6 pour réduire ses émissions CO2 ? 👀

@esa @Arianespace Hey @SpaceOffshore can you explain how these work? Is it the same as old sail ships?

Europe’s access to space also begins at sea. 🚢 Canopée transports Ariane 6 components from mainland Europe to the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. 🌍 Equipped with four Oceanwings sails, this hybrid wind-powered cargo ship reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions compared with traditional transport used during the Ariane 5 era. 🇪🇺 ArianeGroup attended an event in the European Parliament to present Canopée and its vital role for an independent European access to space. We would like to thank Apostolos Tzitzikostas, European Commissioner for Sustainable Transport, and Catherine Chabaud, French Minister Delegate for the Sea, for their interest. #RocketMakers #Ariane6 #Canopée

#Ariane6 : A 100% European industrial puzzle From the outside, it of course looks like a rocket. But behind Ariane 6 it’s much more than a launch vehicle: the whole of Europe is involved in cooperating, inventing and assembling. 🇪🇺

Launching Ambitions. Space is not defined by a single mission. It is shaped by a diversity of ambitions, to connect, to navigate, to observe and to protect. Each mission comes with its own objectives, its own constraints, its own destination. With Ariane 6, Arianespace is designed to meet this diversity with flexibility and performance. From deploying constellations like Amazon Leo in low Earth orbit, enabling navigation with Galileo, observing our planet with Sentinel-1D, to supporting defense missions like CSO-3. Ariane 6 adapts to a wide range of missions, customers and orbital requirements. Because access to space is not one-size-fits-all. It is about enabling every mission, every ambition. #LaunchingAmbitions Amazon Leo ArianeGroup European Space Agency CNES 🇪🇺 EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme Centre spatial guyanais OHB Copernicus EU European Commission ESA Earth Observation Direction générale de l'armement 🇫🇷 Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace Ministère des Armées et des Anciens combattants

Relive the liftoff of VA268. 🚀 Ariane 6 has successfully lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, marking a new milestone for Europe’s heavy-lift launcher. On board, 32 Amazon Leo satellites are now on their way to low Earth orbit, continuing the deployment of the constellation. From ignition to ascent, this moment captures the intensity, precision and power of liftoff, the result of months of preparation and coordination. A launch to experience again. ✨ #LaunchingAmbitions #Ariane6 #VA268 Amazon Leo ArianeGroup European Space Agency CNES Centre spatial guyanais

Mission VA268: Ariane 6 has reached the launch pad. At Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, the central core of Ariane 6 for mission VA268 has been transferred from the Launcher Integration Building (BAL) to the launch pad. Once in front of the mobile gantry, the stage was raised to a vertical position, a key milestone in the launcher assembly process. This operation initiates the final assembly phase on the pad, where Ariane 64, the most powerful version of Ariane 6, will progressively come together. Scheduled for April 28, 2026, mission VA268 will place 32 Amazon Leo satellites into low Earth orbit, demonstrating once again Ariane 6’s capability to support large-scale constellation deployments. The campaign is underway. #LaunchingAmbitions Amazon Leo ArianeGroup European Space Agency CNES Centre spatial guyanais

ArianeGroup and the European Space Agency (ESA) have signed a new contract under the Future Launchers Preparatory Programme to continue the development of the GRETA rocket engine. 🚀 The agreement follows a successful hot-fire campaign completed in 2025 in Germany. The German contribution to the development of GRETA is coordinated by Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur. GRETA explores hydrogen peroxide and ethanol as alternatives to traditional hypergolic propellants, introducing new ignition and combustion challenges while improving sustainability and handling safety. 🔥 The campaign delivered critical data on combustion performance and cooling behaviour. Next milestone: testing a full engine demonstrator in 2027. #RocketMakers European Space Agency
