Ariane 6 Completes Wet Dress Rehearsal, Ready for Launch

Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket is set to launch with multiple missions, including the Nyx Bikini, a technology demonstrator for atmospheric reentry. Developed by The Exploration Company, Nyx Bikini aims to gather data on reentry and validate cost-effective, rapid spacecraft development. The mission will test innovative solutions, such as using drone avionics and a satellite phone for communication, despite inherent risks. This launch marks a significant step towards European reusable space capsules.
