Update 4: <\/strong>The upper stage remains in Earth orbit and will be brought down and deorbited in a controlled manner if possible after the problem analysis. The aim is also to deploy the two remaining payloads beforehand, if possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>- 10.07.2024 10:01<\/span><\/span>\n
Update 3: <\/strong>Currently, 2 of the 17 payloads that were to be deployed remain in the upper stage. The deployment of the 15 other payloads worked without any problems. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>- 10.07.2024 09:59<\/span><\/span>\n
Update 2: <\/strong>The restart of the Vinci engine was successful, but it shut down shortly after ignition. The problem needs to be further analyzed and the public will be informed as soon as new information is available. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>- 10.07.2024 09:57<\/span><\/span>\n
Update 1:<\/strong> Martin Sion, head of Ariane Group, has announced that they are gathering as much data as possible from the faulty ignition of the Vinci engine to find out what led to the early shutdown. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>- 10.07.2024 00:06<\/span><\/span>\n
We are closing our live coverage at this moment. We will add an update tomorrow morning (European Time) to this live ticker with the latest information available. We thank you for your attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be no update from mission control at this moment. ESA will hold a press conference at 0:30 CEST (half-past Midnight) with hopefully more information. Nevertheless this was a successful launch and we can say, that Europe is back in space independently.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

The mission control is still in talks about what to do and how to bring the main engine back to Earth to avoid space debris.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

The APU (auxiliary proportion unit) allows the engine to be reactivated. It re-pressurizes the tanks so that they can be ignited. APU ensures a stable thrust in the fuel flow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

If the Vinci engine and the APU (auxiliary proportion unit) can't be reactivated the planned orbit for the return to Earth can't be reached. This is also a issue because of leaving space debris.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

The restart of the Vinci engine has happened but short after the restart the engine shutdown automatically as a safety measurement. This results that Ariane 6 is not in the planned orbit attitude any more. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
