The venerable Ariane 5 rocket will lift off for a last time, from Kourou, French Guiana, carrying the French Syracuse 4B military satellite and German Heinrich Hertz satellite to geostationary transfer orbit.
Launch window: 1800-1905 EDT / 2200-2305 UTC.

After a string of 111 successful launches, Ariane 5 will be replaced by the lower-cost Ariane 6, scheduled for its maiden voyage in late 2023 or early 2024.

"Europe’s venerable Ariane 5 rocket faces a bittersweet ending on Tuesday" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - Last #Ariane5 launch with French & German satellites will lead to #ESA/#EU🇪🇺 launch capability gap until #Ariane6 is ready, maybe mid-2024. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/07/europes-venerable-ariane-5-rocket-faces-a-bittersweet-ending-on-tuesday/ #space

🇪🇺 "Normally, selecting the #launch #provider for communication #satellites that cost eight or nine figures is accompanied by a press release and plenty of celebration. That the #European #SpaceAgency, #Eutelsat, #Airbus, and #Thales #Alenia said next to nothing until the last moment says a lot about how all parties involved #really #feel about transferring three of their satellites onto #SpaceX #rockets. All three were #intended to launch on #Ariane #rockets" https://www.teslarati.com/european-spacecraft-spacex-falcon-9-launches

📆 January 5, 2023 The #French 🇫🇷 #aerospace industries association, #GIFAS, said #Europe’s 🇪🇺 #launch sector was in an “unprecedented #crisis situation” with the delayed availability of #Ariane 6 and the recent failure of the medium-lift #Vega-C rocket https://www.spaceintelreport.com/two-uncomfortable-truths-europes-launch-sector-is-in-crisis-and-no-one-knows-how-to-end-it/
