Ariane rocket

The Ariane rocket is Europe's main launch vehicle, and capable of carrying huge loads into space. Usuaully this is done from Europe's own spaceport, at Kourou in the French Guiana (South America), which is close to the equator, and reduces launch costs by around 5% due to the lower gravitation pull there.




The green rocket is the Russian Soyuz launcher, which is amazing reliable and powerful.
