- La sonda spaziale per il volo inaugurale di Ariane 6 è partita dal cosmodromo di Kourou, situato nella territorio d'oltremare francese, la Guyana francese.
- Il professore di sistemi spaziali di TU Dresden, Martin Tajmar, esperto europeo dello spazio, non coinvolto nel progetto Ariane, ha elogiato il volo malgrado l'insuccesso dell'accensione ripetuta dello stadio superiore a Bremen.
- L'industria spaziale europea, come altre nazioni che si affidano al viaggio spaziale, ha affrontato alcuni problemi durante il lancio, come dimostrato dal commento di Tajmar su Elon Musk e SpaceX.
- A causa dell'attesa grande attenzione scientifica del lancio iniziale di Ariane 6, molti ricercatori e aziende in varie parti d'Europa, tra cui Bremen, attendevano con impazienza il rientro riuscito dello stadio superiore.
Razzo europeo - Nonostante la mancata accensione: Il volo Ariane è riuscito per l'esperto
Despite the failed re-ignition attempt of the upper stage in Bremen, Martin Tajmar, a space expert from TU Dresden who is not involved in the Ariane project, considers the maiden flight of the European rocket Ariane 6 a "great success". The rocket took off from the spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on Tuesday and brought several satellites into space. However, the upper part, which was supposed to reignite and essentially re-enter the Earth's atmosphere to burn up, failed to do so.
Tajmar evaluates the incident as a "great surprise that so little didn't work". In total, the rocket had 17 payloads on board, approximately satellites. According to the expert, everything went according to plan with 15, but not with the two re-entry experiments.
Some things like this re-ignition cannot be tested properly on Earth, explains Tajmar, because there is a gravitational force here and not up there. "Then the fuel swings around a bit - things we didn't foresee". Of course, there is no one in space to intervene.
The first launch of the previous rocket, the Ariane 5, was a complete disaster, Tajmar reminds us. "The second start was a mess, the third flight went somewhat better". This time it went much better.
Probably everything will work on the second flight of Ariane 6, estimates Tajmar. "Even in America, Elon Musk starts Space X rockets to learn. Because even he knows: You can't test everything on the ground, you test it in flight".
The rocket for the maiden flight of Ariane 6 originated from the spaceport in Kourou, located in France's overseas territory, French Guiana. TU Dresden's space expert, Martin Tajmar, who is not associated with the Ariane project, praised the flight despite the failure of the re-ignition attempt in Bremen's upper stage. Europe's space industry, like other nations that rely on space travel, has faced some challenges during the launch process, as demonstrated by Tajmar's comment about Elon Musk and SpaceX.
As the European rocket Ariane 6's first launch was highly anticipated in the field of science, many researchers and companies in various parts of Europe, including Bremen, eagerly awaited the successful re-entry of the upper stage.
