This is John Batcheter, a conversation with my good colleague Bob Zimmerman about Ariana Six.

You will recall, this is the European Space Agency's primary booster.

They've been working on Ariana Six for several years. It's now ready for launch, but the

space booster business has changed profoundly since first they conceived Ariana 6 to be fired out of French Kiana.

Space X, reusability, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Super Heavy, all passed by Ariana 6 still waiting for customers and now customers

cancelling Bob Zimmerman behind the black explaining what has happened to

Ariana 6 is what's happening to big space, getting

passed by commercial space, making money, monetizing low-Earth Orbit and beyond.

More of this tonight.

Ah, this is a great story to indicate the failure of the Arian 6 rocket.

Earlier last week, officials inpe were complaining that they should have

legislation guaranteeing all launches

take place on european rockets

we now know why airy and space were complaining. It appears that the company

you met sat, which is a European company that puts up for the government that puts up

weather satellites has canceled its launch on an Ariana six rocket. This is

supposed to be the third launch of the area out of six and

instead signed a contract with SpaceX to use SpaceX instead. It's Falcon Nine

rocket.
