Ariane 5 version 2
The new Ariane 5 and ATV versions are now available from the CVE-lite website.
This new version of Ariane5 contains three variants plus C3PO's new ATV.
The following are included:
- Ariane 5 versatile -- the standard A5 from the previous release.
- Ariane 5 evolved -- the no upperstage A5 designed to launch the ATV, plus other 20-tonne payloads to LEO.
- Ariane 5 ECB -- the cryogenically fuelled upperstage A5, designed to lift over ten tonnes to GTO.
- ATV beta 1 -- C3PO's ATV mesh, specifically designed for launch on the Ariane 5 E.
Full multipayload and multi extra-staging is implemented due to CVE-lite compatibility using the GPDS payload description language.
