To achieve this, Arianegroup has implemented innovative production processes.
In parallel of Ariane 6 operation, Arianegroup will develop a reusable launcher.
We can also imagine Arianegroup greatly accelerating the development of Ariane Next.
Unlike SpaceX, Arianegroup has not abandoned carbon fiber for the design of its rockets.
But the technical choices and Arianegroup's industrial model could penalize the competitiveness of Ariane 6.
Recently, Arianegroup was looking for institutional missions to start
the production of the first Ariane 6 launchers.
Arianegroup had therefore delayed as much as possible
the launch of the production while waiting to have more visibility.
The P120 booster is therefore crucial for the future of Arianegroup and the space activities of the Europe.
However, we know that the CNES and Arianegroup research departments are working on two projects
that can lead to the creation of a reusable launcher.
If Arianegroup can congratulate itself on a development in time,
it is because the work on the Vinci engine started a long time before the development of Ariane 6.
The European Space Agency revealed it has signed up rocket maker Arianegroup to develop plans for a moon base that could
be used to mine material from the lunar surface.
