The #Ariane6 vehicle is flying. But its costs 💰 are high, it is fully expendable, and its flight rate of 10 launches a year feels antediluvian 👴 in the megaconstellation era. It has a maximum lift capacity of about 20 tons.
The #ExplorationCompany recently announced development work on a reusable ♻️ rocket intended to launch 40 metric tons in reusable mode, and 60 tons in expendable mode.

* 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Kessler#Life_and_work
