ArianeGroup teams have completed assembly of Ariane 6’s central core in the all-new Ariane 6

Launcher Assembly Building at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

The Ariane 6 core and upper stages were mechanically and electrically integrated to form the Ariane 6 central core, which is now ready to be transferred to the Ariane 6 Mobile Gantry and lifted into a vertical position. This step thus paves the way for connecting Ariane 6 with its launch pad, to be carried out under the responsibility of the European Space Agency (ESA) and executed by an integrated ESA-ArianeGroup-CNES team.
