  Ariane (rocket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ariane is a series of a civilian European expendable launch vehicles for space launch use.
Ariane 5-ECB, with further improvements intended to carry 12 tonnes into geostationary transfer orbit, was cancelled in May 2005 due to lack of demand.
A 4.5 metre long and 85 kilogram heavy flyable model of the Ariane 4, which was built by a working group of the ARGOS, was launched 2002 in Amarillo, Texas and on 19 September 2004 at 12.15 o'clock successfully in the Val de Ruz near Neuchatel, Switzerland.

 Ariane
Ariane 1 flew 11 times from 1979 to 1986, failed twice, and launched a number of communications and other satellites, and the Giotto probe to Halley’s Comet.
The first and third stages of the Ariane 2 and 3 were lengthened from those of their predecessor to enable a longer burn time, and the engines of stages one, two, and three were increased in thrust.
Ariane 5’s 17,500-kg LEO (low Earth orbit) payload capacity was intended to accommodate the Hermes space plane.

 Ariane 1, 2, and 3 from the ESA
Ariane 1 was designed primarily to put two telecommunications satellites at a time into orbit, thus reducing costs.
Ariane 3 made a record 11 flights from 1984 to 1989, all of which were successful.
The first and third stages of Ariane 2 and Ariane 3 were longer than those of Ariane 1, while Ariane 3 had strap-on boosters containing liquid or solid propellant, making it the most flexible and powerful of the three launchers, able to launch a payload of 1.7 tonnes.

Ariane 1 could carry a 1750-kilogram payload into a geostationary orbit.
Ariane 5 was projected to consist of the first stage of Ariane 4 in combination with a cryogen second stage.
With Ariane 5, that was the understanding in 1979, it would be possible to carry space stations or the European space shuttle Hermes.

 Spaceflight :Arianespace and the Ariane Family of Rockets
Ariane 1, March 4, 1984, payload was Intelsat V F8.
Ariane was the centerpiece of the European Space Agency (ESA) during its early years.
Industry analysts note that although Ariane may not be the cheapest launch vehicle available, even in the dual launch configuration, Arianespace's customer service and flexibility—such as a launch range free of other military or human spaceflight launches—makes it a highly-effective competitor.

 Ariane 1 - 4
Ariane was optimized for launches in GTO to which it could deliver 1750 kg.
The flexibility of Ariane 4 is due to the adaptation of the payload by addition of boosters on the first stage.
Its mass ranges from 243 tons (Ariane 40) to 480 tons (Ariane 44L) and the GTO performance from 2020 kg to 4460 kg.

Ariane, which first flew in December 1979, was designed primarily for putting telecommunications satellites into orbit two at a time to reduce launch costs.
As the size of satellites grew, Ariane 1 gave way in 1984 to the more powerful Ariane 2 and Ariane 3, and these in turn were superseded by Ariane 4 in 1988.
Ariane 2, 3 and 4 all belonged to the same family but with certain differences.

For the first time in the history of the space adventure, a heavy 3-stage launcher capable of placing a nearly 1-tonne satellite in geostationary orbit was successfully sent aloft.
The most important modification for Ariane 3 was the addition of 2 solid-fuel boosters to the first stage of the rocket.
Ariane 3's first flight successfully took place on 4 August 1984 with the launch of the ECS 2 and Telecom 1A satellites.

Since it became operational Ariane 5 has been used to launch satellites for communications, Earth observation and scientific research.
In order to launch Ariane 5, ESA built a new launch site at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, as well as facilities to integrate the solid boosters and a plant to produce the solid propellant they use.
Ariane 5 is used for launches into geostationary transfer orbit, medium and low Earth orbits and Sun-synchronous orbits.

 From Ariane-1 to Ariane-5
This is mainly due to Europe's political will to back the programme in order to achieve the best possible end result (launcher, launch base and services), developed and produced in a suitable structure fully geared to market requirements and capable of standing upto the competition.
Ariane's successes came thick and fast in the early eighties and today Ariane is the yardstick for success on the world launch services market, thanks to:
