The European Space Agency (ESA) shared a new view of the Ariane 6 rocket on its launch pad ahead of engine tests this month.
A new photo shared on June 23 shows ESA's heavy-lift Ariane 6 rocket on the launch pad at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. It is the first view of Ariane 6 standing vertically on its launch pad. The rocket has been in development since the early 2010s, and is intended to replace the Ariane 5 launch vehicle, providing customers lower-cost access to space.
