After years of waiting, Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket is finally ready to take its first journey into space this week.
This powerful rocket will carry nine tiny satellites and experiments to low Earth orbit, marking a significant step forward in European space exploration.
The Ariane 6 is designed with sustainability in mind, with its upper stage burning up in the atmosphere upon re-entry to prevent space junk accumulation.
With the ability to launch frequently, the Ariane 6 is expected to play a crucial role in transporting satellites, research equipment, and other payloads into space.
