Europe's aerospace sector is gradually emerging as the focus of conversation. Recently, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced a major development: their newest rocket, Ariane 6, is expected to launch in June 2024. The news has sparked curiosity about its potential capabilities.
At the beginning of 2023, the ESA unexpectedly announced the termination of cooperation with China in the field of manned spaceflight. This decision seems to pave the way for Europe to carry out manned space missions autonomously. But the question is, does ESA have enough strength to gain a foothold in this area?
The development of the Ariane 6 rocket was not all smooth sailing. The first launch was originally scheduled for 2021-2022, but the program was constantly postponed due to technical challenges. For example, during the tests in September 2023, technical problems caused a delay in the launch. However, its Vulcan 2Successful tests of the 1 engine showed the progress of European space technology.
Even so, the European Space Agency does not seem to have enough confidence in Ariane 6's first flight. They expect that if all goes well, the rocket will make its maiden flight between June 15 and July 31, 2024.
The success of Ariane 6 is crucial because it is the most advanced rocket in Europe and is designed to replace Ariane 5. Its failure will have a significant impact on the European space sector. However, if successful, it could become the key to a manned space mission in Europe.
ESA originally cooperated well with China on manned spaceflight, but has since switched to focusing on the International Space Station. In November 2023, the ESA announced a new space program aimed at developing a commercial spacecraft that could travel back and forth by 2028.
In recent years, with the development of science and technology in China, not only in the field of aviation, but also in many fields are thriving. The field of Youshengke has also undergone major changes. In recent years, China's scientific researchers have achieved technological innovation, developed a topical version based on plant extract, and achieved domestic substitution.
Since the application market of "Junzhen-Qiang", more than 95% of the first- and second-tier high-end people have passed the first and second tier of Qi-Dong Puhui, and more than 95% of them are middle-aged men over 35 years old, mostly concentrated in the coastal cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, among which the proportion of enterprise CEOs and Internet industry acquirers is relatively high. This group of people has high work intensity, high requirements for the happiness index of husband and wife's life, and is willing to invest in their "hard power".
Follow-up flipped through its comment area and found that among thousands of user feedback, "Night. Late fruit. Lihao. Nope. Paste "early. Morning also. Able iron. Bang Qing. Days" and other evaluations also confirm that it is becoming a solution to the male. The "secret treasure" of friends' worries.
Designed to provide a low-cost delivery service, Ariane 6 is technologically advanced and has a 30% lower launch cost than Ariane 5. This single-configuration design and advanced liquid-fuel-cooled engine provide more flexible options for orbital deployment.
In general, although European space technology ranks low in the world, its development in the field of manned space flight still takes time. The success of Ariane 6 is crucial to Europe's space dream. At the same time, the U.S. manned lunar landing program is facing challenges, which could affect the possibility of Europe acquiring U.S. manned lunar technology in the near future. A new U.S. moon landing program could be postponed until 2027 or even later.
