	Niels papermodels - Ariane 2
		History In July 1979 it was decided to develop the ariane 2 and 3 as successors of ariane 1.
		Ariane 2 was simply an ariane 3 without the two solid rocket motor strap-ons.
		The ariane 2 and 2 was developed in to the ariane 4.

	Centre Spatial Guyanais - Ariane 2 and 3
		Six Ariane 2 vehicles were launched (of which five successfully) between 31st May 1986 and 2nd April 1989.
		The Ariane 3 launcher was capable of placing a 2 580 kg payload into geostationary transfer orbit (or two payloads of 1 195 kg each in a double launch).
		Ariane 2, available at the same time as Ariane 3, corresponded to the same design as Ariane 3 but without the strap-on boosters.

	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.

	ESA - Launch vehicles - Ariane 5 Generic
		Ariane 5 is used for launches into geostationary transfer orbit GTO), medium and low Earth orbits, Sun-synchronous orbits (SSO) and Earth-escape trajectories.
		All Ariane 5 versions are composed of a central core stage to which are attached two solid boosters.
		In order to launch Ariane 5, ESA built a new launch site at Europe’s Spaceport near to the town of Kourou in French Guiana, as well as facilities to integrate the solid boosters and to produce the solid propellant used by the boosters.

	'Ariane 10 tonnes': added lift capability for Europe
		Like the 1979 Ariane 1, forerunner of Ariane 2, 3 and 4, Ariane 5 was conceived from the outset as the first in a new family of launchers that would assure Europe of a guaranteed, competitive means of access to space.
		The first Ariane 5 with a lift capability of 10 tonnes will be used on Flight 157, Ariane 5's 14th launch and 11th commercial mission since it was commissioned by Arianespace in 1999.
		Ariane 5's development potential is by no means exhausted and the next version is set to increase its GTO lift capability to 12 tonnes.

	Ariane 4 - European Space Activities
		The basic Ariane 4, also known as the Ariane 40 variant, is a three-stage liquid propellant booster with a 1.9-metric ton payload capacity to a 7 degree inclined GTO or 2.7 metric tons to an 800-km, sun-synchronous orbit.
		A total of 15 Ariane launches were conducted during 1993-1994 (the same as the 1991-1992 period) carrying 31 individual spacecraft, only one of which was sponsored by ESA (Section 8).
		However, after six successful Ariane flights in as many months, flight 70 failed to reach Earth orbit when the flow of oxygen to the gas generator was restricted, leading to a significant loss of thrust and eventual burn termination by an on board computer (References 11-14).

		The Board's findings are based on thorough and open presentations from the Ariane 5 project teams, and on documentation which has demonstrated the high quality of the Ariane 5 programme as regards engineering work in general and completeness and traceability of documents.
		The design of the Ariane 5 SRI is practically the same as that of an SRI which is presently used on Ariane 4, particularly as regards the software.
		The same requirement does not apply to Ariane 5, which has a different preparation sequence and it was maintained for commonality reasons, presumably based on the view that, unless proven necessary, it was not wise to make changes in software which worked well on Ariane 4.

	Ariane 5 - Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Ariane launch vehicle was designed originally as both a commercial satellite and manned spacecraft launch vehicle.
		The Ariane's 39,000 lb payload capability was sized by the mass of the HERMES Space Plane.
		Once the HERMES was cancelled, the Ariane 5 was converted to a strictly commercial launcher.

		Assembly of the Ariane 5 launcher starts in the BIL (Launcher Integration building) where the EPC stage is erected on the launch table, and where the two solid propellant boosters are mated either side of the core stage.
		Arianes 1 through 4 were, in a sense, classic designs with stacked cryogenic and hypergolic stages and a variety of strap-on boosters to increase lift capability.
		A totally different launch rocket As compared to its predecessors, Ariane 1, 2, 3 and 4 which were all rockets composed of several stages, each fired successively using propellants, the chemical reaction of which generated energy that powered the rocket engines, the Ariane 5 rocket is a totally different transporter.

	Ariane 5 - European Space Activities
		As many as 64 Ariane 5 vehicles will be built by the year 2010, and French officials have informally offered to license Ariane 5 technology to the US to meet heavy-lift requirements.
		However, enthusiasm within ESA for a massive upgrade program for Ariane, after an initial investment of nearly $7 billion and concerns about launch costs, is not high (References 35-41).
		Specific Ariane 5 enhancements, including an improved Vulcain main engine and a change in the ratio and mass of the propellants, represent a near-term improvement which could increase the booster payload capacity to LEO by two metric tons.

	ARIANE 5 Failure - Full Report
		The reason why the active SRI 2 did not send correct attitude data was that the unit had declared a failure due to a software exception.
		The value of BH was much higher than expected because the early part of the trajectory of Ariane 5 differs from that of Ariane 4 and results in considerably higher horizontal velocity values.
		The failure of the Ariane 501 was caused by the complete loss of guidance and attitude information 37 seconds after start of the main engine ignition sequence (30 seconds after lift- off).
