		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, capable of launching a payload of 1.7 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).

	"Ariane 10 Tonnes": New 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 maintain Europe with a sure and competitive means of access to space.
		The first Ariane 5 launcher with a lift capability of 10 tonnes will be used on Flight 157, the 14th Ariane 5 launch and the European launcher's 11th commercial mission since it was commissioned by Arianespace in 1999.
		Ariane 5's development potential is by no means exhausted and this new version could increase its lift capability to the point of placing 12 tonnes in geostationary transfer orbit.
