After burning their fuel, the boosters will separate first from the rocket. Once past the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, the fairing will also separate.<\/p>\n<p>About eight minutes into flight, the entire main stage will separate. Ariane 6\u2019s upper stage will then take over, with the Vinci engine propelling the rocket into an elliptical orbit 700km above Earth.<\/p>\n<p>During the next phase, Vinci will reignite to place Ariane 6 into a circular orbit 580km from the Earth\u2019s surface. After the reignition, the launcher will deploy eight different satellites and activate four onboard experiments.<\/p>\n<p>In the final phase, the Vinci engine will reignite once again to initiate Ariane 6\u2019s controlled deorbiting through the atmosphere over the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/facts\/nemo.html\">NEMO point<\/a> in the South Pacific. Two reentry capsules onboard will separate from the upper stage to make their descent.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ESA will send a final command to passivate the upper stage (meaning, to remove any energy onboard) before it burns up in the atmosphere. This way, the agency aims to prevent the rocket part from lingering as space debris.<\/p>\n<p>Ariane 6 will take off from the European spaceport in French Guiana.
