#EuropeanSpaceflight 📆 Oct 11, 2023 What could #IsarAerospace, #RocketFactory Augsburg, and #Latitude do with €1.8 billion 💰💰 in funding split three ways over the same period ?

#Ariane 6 is a pill that we’re just going to have to swallow. We cannot cancel the programme and any new development would take several years to mature. What we can do, however, is make sure that #ArianeGroup is not involved 🚫 in the future of European 🇪🇺 #launch https://europeanspaceflight.substack.com/p/arianegroup-wants-210m-per-year-more
