#ESA had proposed a €304.4 million 💰 envelope for the #Ariane6 adaptations element. Member states ultimately committed just €145.94 million, leaving €158.46 million uncovered, a 52% shortfall.

#Arianespace hasn’t publicly disclosed the cost of an #Ariane6 launch 🕵️, but it is likely somewhere in the range of 80 million to 100 million euros.

#ESA has publicly confirmed that the European 🇪🇺 governments will need to subsidize each launch with between 32 million and 38 million euros 💶 per flight.

If we amortize the development costs with the ongoing subsidy, #European #taxpayers have put more than 100 million euros 💰 into each launch before the customer pays anything

The average cost of sending a kilogram of payload to #orbit in the #US 🇺🇸 is now $3,225, compared to higher costs elsewhere: #Japan 🇯🇵 $5,287, #China 🇨🇳 $5,809, #Russia 🇷🇺 $6,682, and #Europe 🇪🇺 $9,897.

Europe "is stuck between a rock and a hard place, having to choose between continuing to depend on lower-cost American launch technology and relying on expensive, poorly scalable domestic technology to expand its strategic presence in space” https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/08/policy-experts-europe-stuck-between-rock-and-a-hard-place-on-launch/

🇪🇺 The most recent flight of the upgraded four-booster #Ariane6 launched 36 #Amazon Leo satellites, carrying more than 20 tonnes to orbit on a single mission.

#ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher warned that #Europe was heading towards a shortage of launch capacity around 2030

While #Neutron will be significantly more capable, with a planned payload capacity of up to 15,000 kilograms to #LEO, its availability will initially be limited.
