RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/117130008062227837
#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

🚀 Succès pour le vol #VA264 !
Ariane 6 a placé en orbite le satellite #METOPSGA1 et son instrument #IASING développé par le #CNES.🌍 Un grand pas pour la prévision météo et l’étude du climat. à lire ici : https://cnes.fr/communiques/succes-deuxieme-mission-commerciale-dariane-6-satellite-metop-sg-a1-orbite

🌍 Mieux prévoir, c’est mieux anticiper.
IASI-NG, embarqué sur Metop-SGA1 et lancé par #Ariane6, fournira pendant 20 ans des données atmosphériques deux fois plus précises pour affiner #météo et #climat.🔗 https://cnes.fr/actualites/meteo-climat-mieux-prevoir-mieux-anticiper-iasi-ng
