The European Space Agency (ESA) is set to launch the Ariane 6 rocket on July 9 from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana.

Ariane 6 is developed as the successor to the Ariane 5, aiming to increase competitiveness and cost-effectiveness for European space missions.

Despite experiencing delays, the Ariane 6 has 30 commercial flights planned, with the first expected before the end of the year.

Components of the rocket were assembled in Bremen and Les Mureaux, with final preparations currently underway in Kourou.

This launch is critical for Europe, especially after recent setbacks in the rocket industry.

ESA Chief Josef Aschbacher expresses confidence in Europe's ability to restore trust through the successful operation of Ariane 6.
