Ariane 6: more boosters, more power
It its most powerful version, Ariane 6 uses four boosters to lift off and rocket towards space.
Designed for versatility, Ariane 6 can adapt to each mission: flying with two boosters for lighter payloads, or four boosters when more power is needed.
In its four-booster configuration, Ariane 6 can carry larger and heavier spacecraft into orbit, enabling some of Europe’s most ambitious missions — such as Argonaut.
