Description
In order to end its dependence on the two major space powers, the United States and Russia, France – which has been at the forefront of rocket flight since the 1950s – launched the Ariane programme in collaboration with Europe. And so the first Ariane 1 rocket took to the skies on 24 December 1979. Since then, the Ariane family has expanded considerably and has proven its great reliability, from Ariane 1 to Ariane 6 today. A piece of thermal insulation from the upper stage of Ariane 1, recovered after its launch. 11.5 x 8.5 x 5 cm. France – Diamant and Ariane rockets
