The year 2024 in pictures

With activities for 2025 in full swing, it’s a good time to invite you to look back at the events of the previous year that have led up to this moment. In this short dynamic video, you can revisit the iconic first flight of Europe’s Ariane 6 launcher and a host of other notable happenings on our various sites.

Buckle up for an exhilarating trip around the galaxy of ArianeGroup and its subsidiaries over the last months. Throughout the year we worked to secure Europe’s access to space with Ariane 6, to reinforce security for all citizens with our defence programmes and our Helix space tracking network, to prepare for the future with the new small Maia launcher and the Prometheus® rocket engine, to support space missions with our ever-widening range of equipment, and to inspire the next generation of rocket makers and space enthusiasts by engaging with students, educators and influencers.

The journey continues … stay tuned!
