        <div>Ariane 6 is a new European launcher. It succeeds Ariane 5 which is one of the most reliable launchers in history.</div><div><br></div><div>Its first flight will take place in 2024. To celebrate this inaugural flight, I designed this Ariane 6 model.</div><div><img src="https://ideascdn.lego.com/media/generate/lego_ci/ce317474-5aa7-450a-bab7-80642070c8d3/resize:1200:675/webp"></div><div><br></div><div>History of the design of this model:</div><div>While searching the internet for models, I came across a MoppeW40k model. He had made a very nice version of Ariane 6. After building it for the first time, I realized that there were possible improvements to the structure and dimensions.</div><div>I therefore modified the structure and lengthened the fairing in 2022, going from 1 to 2 Satellites.</div><div><img src="https://ideascdn.lego.com/media/generate/lego_ci/32a1f9d6-12c4-4941-9878-766afe813bff/resize:1200:675/webp"></div><div><br></div><div>In 2022, following discussions with a member of CNES, I worked on the modeling of ELA4 and the ground sections. Which gave this addition.</div><div><img src="https://ideascdn.lego.com/media/generate/lego_ci/18c466cb-8c41-47be-b080-7159e8ce2c19/resize:1200:675/webp"></div><div><br></div><div>In 2023, following the publication by Arianegroup of Susie, I decided to work on it to add it to the existing model. At the same time, I decided to rework the boosters which needed to be improved on the dimensions and shape at the head level.</div><div><img src="https://ideascdn.lego.com/media/generate/lego_ci/a5ec4908-b783-415d-a3da-543b4893b120/resize:1200:675/webp"></div><div><br></div><div>In 2024, following the proposal from the collective including ESA, CNES, Ariangroup and Arianespace, I started from scratch on the model to match it as closely as possible with the version that will be launched during the inaugural flight. The modifications concerned</div><div>&nbsp;- the internal structure,</div><div>&nbsp;- a complete review of the exterior covering to have the right colors in the right places,</div><div>&nbsp;- a redesign of the exterior pipes to position them on the right sides and ensure a better rendering and the right dimensions,</div><div>&nbsp;- the addition of the logos of the different agencies and manufacturers</div><div>&nbsp;- A complete verification of the dimensions of the floors and the fearing.</div><div>&nbsp;- A change of payload to match the 1st mission.</div><div>&nbsp;- New satellites for the long fearing</div><div><img src="https://ideascdn.lego.com/media/generate/lego_ci/e85cd81d-7b9b-42cd-971f-1c1f9dc3455a/resize:1200:675/webp"></div>
