#Ariane6 is a truly European success story! #ArianeGroup builds the rocket, @CNES brings the launch pad, @esa decides the launcher program, and @Arianespace provides launch services. They've brought together the know-how of thousands of experts to create the best Ariane yet.

@Arkunir Hey there, following on our previous exchange, for now our rockets only launch satellites, cargos, telescopes, but have you heard about our latest concept SUSIE? ⬇️As for the rest, stay tuned for our DMs. 😉
Susie will replace the Ariane 6’s fairing and will be able to operate as an automated freighter or perform crewed missions with up to five astronauts. #ArianeGroup #SUSIE
