Its first launch took place in June 1996, and the 5 NS version in July 2018. All launches of this rocket took place from the Space Center in French Guiana. Ariane 5 was developed and designed jointly by the French CNES and the European Space Agency. Although it was created as a successor to the very successful Ariane 4 rocket, it was created practically from scratch and only slightly adopted the technical solutions of its predecessor. Its main tasks are to deliver: satellites to Earth orbit (geostationary) and cargo to low Earth orbit. The most modern version of the Ariane 5 rocket is the ES model, the first successful launch of which took place in 2008.
