Launch update, 9 July 16:00 CEST: As part of standard operations in the Ariane 6 preparation after mobile gantry removal, routine checks in the ground segment equipment showed a small issue in a data acquisition system. It has now been resolved. Liftoff is now scheduled no earlier than 16:00 local time (21:00 CEST), with the live stream starting at 15:30 local time (20:30 CEST).

    Godspeed! I don’t think Ariane 6 will go down in history as a successful rocket, mostly on account of the shift in economics forced on the rest of the industry by SpaceX. But I do get excited for debut launches – some very clever people worked very hard on this. :)

    If it reenables European sovereign and independent access to space it’s a success. Fingers crossed that it’s also as reliably as A5. Commercially I agree.
