The Viking rocket engines were members of a series of bipropellant engines for the first and second stages of the Ariane 1 through Ariane 4 commercial launch vehicles, using storable, hypergolic propellants: dinitrogen tetroxide and UH 25, a mixture of 75% UDMH and 25% hydrazine [3] (originally UDMH ). The earliest versions, developed in 1965 ...
Ariane 5 is a retired European heavy-lift space launch vehicle developed and operated by Arianespace for the European Space Agency (ESA). It was launched from the Guiana Space Centre (CSG) in French Guiana. It was used to deliver payloads into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), low Earth orbit (LEO) or further into space.
Development of the family of launchers began in 1973, with the first Ariane 1 lifting off in 1979. Ariane 5's maiden flight in 1996 ended in failure as the rocket went off course after 40 seconds ...
