Europe's Ariane 6 rocket is scheduled to launch for the first time, ending a year-long pause in Europe's autonomous space access after a data glitch. The rocket, developed by ArianeGroup, is set to carry out its inaugural mission with satellites and experiments. The launch had a minor delay due to a data acquisition issue, but preparations were underway for a successful lift-off. The significance of Ariane 6 lies in providing Europe with independent space access amid growing competition in the global space-launch market.
