  1. 🚀 À l’occasion du Sommet international sur l’espace à Paris, Amazon Leo a commandé 6 lancements supplémentaires #Ariane6 à Arianespace, ce qui porte à 24 au total, pour le lancement de sa constellation en orbite basse

  2. An interesting interview with the right questions and a generally knowledgeable conversation partner* youtube.com/watch?v=0H5IvbIx7WE

    * Claudia Kessler worked for #Airbus (former #EADS), which owns a large stake in #ArianeSpace. So she can hardly claim publicly that #Ariane6 isn't competitive en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_

    🇪🇺 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.

    #RocketLab #Germany

  8. #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

  9. RE: mastodon.social/@europeanspace

    "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*"

    * "#European taxpayers are subsidizing every launch of satellites for Jeff Bezos by roughly $75 million 💰" arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/
