Europe's Ariane 6 successfully launched on its maiden flight. Weighing 540 tonnes and standing 56 meters tall, the rocket left the Kourou launchpad in French Guiana around 4 p.m. local time (1900 GMT), ending a year-long hiatus in European access to space. #Ariane6 #SpaceLaunch #EuropeanSpaceAgency #SpaceExploration
