ArianeGroup proposes Ariane 6 evolution using reusable MaiaSpace‑derived boosters under ESA BEST!
ArianeGroup has proposed an Ariane 6 evolution under ESA’s BEST! initiative that replaces expendable strap‑on boosters with reusable MaiaSpace‑derived boosters, retaining the Ariane 6 core while adding recoverable side stages. The design was submitted to ESA for consideration within BEST!'s evolution studies.
