This week saw the final launch of Ariane 5, a launcher with over 100 successful launches since the 1990’s, and while it’s career has been notable, its retirement before Ariane 5 is ready means that Western Europe has lost almost all its launch capability. Vega-C is still grounded and the Soyuz is no longer available.
So what’s Ariane 6 going to look like?
