  1. #Neutron was designed to lift 13,000 kilograms to orbit . That puts it in the medium-lift category, comparable to the variant of Europe’s #Ariane6 that flies with two solid rocket boosters. Ariane was not designed for reusability ♻️ as Neutron was.

    The second stage is completely enveloped within the first stage and would be released in orbit 🌌 . The rocket will descend back through the atmosphere, only needs to fire its engines once, just before landing aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/feat

    "So basically the developers of a dead horse who shunned reusability ♻️ still need more tax payers’ money to make their business case work. Even ‘commercial’ launches such as for the #Amazon constellation are reported to be costing the #taxpayer 32 mil. per launch*"

  17. Warum Europa im Weltraumwettlauf mit den USA, Russland und China ins Hintertreffen gerät.

    Europäische Nationen fallen im Weltraumwettlauf aufgrund eines gravierenden Mangels an Hochleistungsträgerraketen gegenüber ihren Hauptkonkurrenten zurück. Zu diesem Schluss…

  35. Ariane 6 startet mit leistungsstärkeren Boostern – ein neuer Rekord für Europa
    Die europäische Schwerlastrakete #Ariane6 hat 36 Amazon-Leo-Satelliten in die Umlaufbahn gebracht. Die Trägerrakete war mit 4 verbesserten Booster-Stufen ausgestattet, die jeweils 14 Tonnen mehr Treibstoff mitführten. Dieser Start stellt einen neuen Gewichtsrekord für Europa auf & erfolgt nur 6 Monate nach dem Debüt der 4-Booster-Version der Ariane 6. Pressemitteilung ESA.

    In case you haven't noticed, Amazon LEO is in huge trouble! They've got hundreds of satellites sitting in a warehouse with no one to launch them!
    Meanwhile, #SpaceX and #Starlink are building an even bigger lead!
    And who's coming to the rescue?
    Europe and #Ariane6 (?!?!)

  42. Ariane 6 launches 36 Amazon satellites into space.

    The Ariane 6 lifted off on 17 June at 9:21 local time from launch pad Kourou in French Guiana. It carried 36 satellites from Amazon’s Leo satellite constellation into space, which were deployed about an hour later in the intended orbit.

    The ESA has equipped the Ariane 6 with new boosters, allowing the rocket to transport four more satellites into space than before.
