Europe’s long-awaited Ariane 6 rocket won’t launch before late 2023

Europe’s heavy-lift Ariane 6 rocket, in development since the early 2010s, will not fly before the end of 2023, European Space Agency (ESA) officials said in a news conference on Thursday (Oct. 20), adding that the delay will add another 600 million euros to the rocket’s already mighty price tag. 

The setbacks, however, don’t deter the European space industry from bold visions of future space transportation that include a reusable second stage for Ariane 6 and a homegrown astronaut transportation capability.
