This is how we transport rockets 🚀

🛳️ Now that’s a space ship.
🚀 Have you ever wondered how we transport rockets?
All the elements that make up Ariane 6 are manufactured in mainland Europe and then transported by this ship, named Canopée.
It is the first custom-built transporter to use sails, reducing emissions and saving on fuel by up to 30%, and on this trip, it travels for 10 days covering over 7000 km to reach Europe’s Spaceport in French Giuana.
The hybrid-propulsion vessel is 121 m long and has 37 m tall sails. Canopée rotates continuously between stop-offs to load each Ariane 6 stage and other parts and ship them across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe’s spaceport.

I love the "Ariane 6 on board" text

Where do they build the boosters?

Also the payload adapter

The boosters structures are built in Italy, near Rome, and finished at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, while the payload adaptor is from Spain, near Madrid.

@@EuropeanSpaceAgency I'm assuming the adapter is transported with the payload(possibly by a plane), but what about the boosters and why aren't they transported with the rest of the rocket?

Well, seeing all the different origins of a Rocket, it is safe to say, Ariane is truly a daughter of Airbus (and Safran)

Why am I more intrigued by the ship then the actual rocket?!

How long does it take to build a rocket like Ariane 6? I hope everyone who reads this has the most perfect day ever!🎉

As with all industrial manufacturing there is a ramp up production time, while the Ariane 6 industrial system is designed to be able to produce and deliver up to eleven launchers a year, with 12 an additional possibility on exception. As such the time to assemble the parts can be as low as one month. 😊
