Ariane 6 Launch Delayed to 2025

The second flight of Europe's Ariane 6 rocket, initially expected in December, has been postponed to mid-February 2025, according to Arianespace. This launch, the first commercial mission for the rocket, will carry the CSO 3 reconnaissance satellite for the French military. The delay follows a mostly successful inaugural flight in July, with adjustments made to address minor data deviations and a software issue. Arianespace assures that this rescheduling will not impact future missions, with six launches planned for 2025.
