🇪🇺 It’s not clear if European launchers can secure commercial demand from within #Europe to satisfy future launch goals.
Even European launchers—built under the guise of “sovereignty”—are finding themselves more attracted to #US 🇺🇸 customers. All three #Ariane6 flights this year have taken satellites for the #Amazon Leo constellation to orbit https://payloadspace.com/europe-expands-its-launch-opportunities-to-new-companies/

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

"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 💰" https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/oops-it-looks-like-the-ariane-6-rocket-may-not-offer-europe-any-launch-savings/#page-2
