Beneath the Ariane 6 launch table

The ELA-4 launch zone at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana is currently undergoing reconstruction in preparation for Europe’s Ariane 6 launch vehicle.

In this image you see the underside of the launch table that will support Ariane 6 on the pad.

This 700 tonne steel structure is 4 m high, 20 m long and 18 m wide and sits in the centre of the launch pad. Equipment inside the table includes the fluid and cryogenic systems, power supply, air-conditioning and security systems.
