Ariane 5, a legend in pictures 06-16-2023 |  3 minutes

It was almost 30 years ago that the new European launcher Ariane 5 began its remarkable career, marked by many iconic missions that have written new chapters in the history of space.

Just ahead of Ariane 5’s very final launch, we offer a new series of photos as a tribute to this incredible rocket.

Photographers Charly and Raúl immortalized Ariane 5 during a photo shoot at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou last December.
