Wind-powered cargo ship takes Europe’s Ariane 6 rocket to launch site

After numerous setbacks, the European Space Agency recently announced that its next-generation rocket, Ariane 6, is set to launch in just six months’ time. If successful, the heavy-lift launcher will restore the continent’s independent access to space satellites. Now, various parts of the rocket, built in factories across Europe, need to be transported across the Atlantic Ocean to be assembled at ESA’s spaceport in French Guiana. This oversea territory is — for now — home to Europe’s only…

Crucial Rocket Parts End Up Crushed in a Landfill, Imperiling Satellite Mission
