Why Europe Is Still Using SpaceX As A Launch Provider

Why Europe Is Still Using SpaceX As A Launch Provider

Future Space

Europe has managed to put itself in a tough position as they are at the moment, without a launch vehicle. In this case, earlier this year the Ariane 5 rocket, Europe’s go-to, was retired and launched for the last time. The plan was to replace this system with Ariane 6, however, continued delays have pushed its maiden flight back quite a bit. Something a lot of spacecraft and satellite companies were not planning on.
