This week, the rocket that flew James Webb to orbit will fly one last time as Arianespace prepares for the long-delayed debut flight of Ariane 6.
Ariane 6 is also not designed to be partly reusable like SpaceX's Falcon 9, though it was envisioned as a more price-competitive launch vehicle than its predecessor. Nonetheless, ESA hopes to see the first Ariane 6 launch soon, as it will be without an operational launch provider.
, executives from German aerospace company OHB, a key supplier for Ariane 6, predicted that Ariane 6 will perform its long-delayed debut launch in early 2024., but a string of delays was exacerbated by the pandemic, and it has recently remained tightlipped over any specific launch date.Ariane 5 made its debut launch attempt in 1996. That first attempt and the second ended in failure.
