The continent has been waiting a long time for this moment after several delays to various parts of the rocket.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-40953\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather and systems have shown no issues during the early parts of the count. ESA has a liftoff time set for 3:00 P.M. ET from its brand new launch site at the Guiana Space Centre. The Ariane 6 will replace the retired Ariane 5 rocket that last launched almost one year ago to the date (July 5, 2023).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Ariane 6 and 5 are very similar in performance, the Ariane 6 is much lower in launch cost which will hopefully make it more competitive in the commercial launch market. However, the rocket will still face fierce competition by SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9 but for ESA missions, it might have a new homebuilt ride to space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch live coverage of Ariane 6\u2019s first launch on ESA\u2019s YouTube channel:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"post-youtube-video-1\" title=\"Ariane 6 first flight (Official broadcast)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B0oFpOJaIYc?feature=oembed&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B0oFpOJaIYc?feature=oembed&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21655"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21655\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
