ESA plans to set a target launch period for the first Ariane 6 in October, with the hopes that vehicle can finally take flight “not too late” into 2024.
Senior management from ESA, French space agency CNES and partners as well as astronauts will be on site all week, available for further discussions and individual interviews (depending on calendars). Some panellist participations are still subject to final confirmations. While all Space Pavilion stage events are open to participation for journalists, the following ESA/CNES communications milestones are highly recommended to the media: Monday 19 June (Welcome and VIP presences): Morn.
