European Space Agency's Ariane 6 rocket overcomes delays and setbacks, set for launch in 2024

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that its long-delayed Ariane 6 rocket is "ready to go" in terms of its ability to launch, despite concerns about the performance of its upper stage. Recent tests showed mixed results, with an aborted test due to parameters going beyond thresholds, but a successful launch countdown rehearsal. The ESA remains confident that investigations into the failed test will not impact the schedule for the inaugural flight of Ariane 6, which is expected to take place in 2024.
