European Space Agency, ESA | 5,4,3,2,1 allumage Vulcain! 🚀 #shorts @EuropeanSpaceAgency | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Europe’s new rocket Ariane 6 will soon be launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. But how does it get off the launch pad?
Ignited first at liftoff is the Vulcain 2.1, the rocket motor for the cryogenic main stage. The engine sits at the bottom end of Ariane 6 and fires for up to 8 minutes to help the rocket reach space! The boosters ignite 7 seconds after the Vulcain for liftoff thrust.
