Launchers Ariane 1 - 4

After the failure of the Europa 1/2 program, the ELDO was to design a totally new Europa 3. This launcher was to have a first stage L150 with storable propellant powered by 4 Viking motors from SEP and a second cryogenic stage H20 equipped with a high pressure HM-20 motor from Cryorocket. This project was found too risky both technically and financially especially by Germany, which wanted to focus on the Spacelab development.

In 1972 the CNES proposed to build a launcher with the same performance but using only European tested technology like the low-pressure cryogenic propulsion. This project designed L-IIIS (substitution third generation launcher) was to use an H6 cryogenic top stage with a HM-4 motor designed by SEP. The poor performance of the H6 compared to the H20 required the use of two base stages, on L140 (reduced version of the Europa 3 L150) and an L33 (featuring a single Viking motor adapted to altitude use).

In December 1972 the 5th European Space Conference ended on 3 agreements: creation of a European Space Agency (ESA to replace both ELDO and ESRO) and the start of the L-IIIS and Spacelab.
The following year the L-IIIS project was further defined (increased propellant of the H6 to become H8 and replacement of the 4-chamber HM-4 by a single-nozzle HM-7) and changed denomination: Ariane. The CNES granted Aerospatiale as the industrial architect of the project.

Ariane 1

The first Ariane version was a 208-ton launcher (without payload) of 47.4 m high. The first stage (L140) was 3.8 m diameter, 18.4 m high, containing 147.6 tons propellant (NTO + UDMH). It was powered by a set of 4 Viking 5 motors which fired during 146 seconds, providing 2485 kN thrust at takeoff (Isp = 247 s) and 2770 kN in vacuum (Isp = 278 s). The second stage (L33) was 2.6 m diameter for 11.6 m high. It was loaded with 34.2 tons propellant identical to first stage. It's Viking 4 motor provided 723 kN thrust (Isp = 296 s) during 138 seconds. The top stage (H8) of same diameter was 9.1 m high. It's cryogenic motor HM-7 developed 61.3 kN thrust (Isp = 441 s) and consumed 8.2 tons liquid oxygen and hydrogen in 545 seconds. The first and third stages were assembled in France by Aerospatiale, the second stage in Germany by ERNO. Ariane was optimized for launches in GTO to which it could deliver 1750 kg.

Ariane 2 & 3

As soon as 1977 the CNES started enhancing the performance of the launcher. The first derivatives named Ariane 2 & 3 had the following characteristics:
- On the two first stages: enhancement of the thrust of the Viking 4 and 5 by increasing the pressure of the combustion chamber and replacement of UDMH by UH25 (75% UDMH and 25% hydrazine hydrate). The combustion duration where then respectively 135 and 123 seconds.
- On the third stage: lengthening by 1.3 m of the tanks (10.7 tons propellant on this new H10) and increased specific impulsion of the motor (HM-7B). The combustion duration was then 720 s.
- Extension of the payload volume.
The Ariane 3 version had also two additional solid booster: 8 m high, 1.07 m diameter, 9.7 tons (including 7.3 tons solid propellant: Flexadyne). Each booster provided 666 kN thrust during 28 s. They were manufactured by BPD in Italy.

The two launchers were 48.7 high. Ariane 2 weighed 212 tons at takeoff while Ariane 3 weighed 230 tons. The payload weights then reached 2065 kg and 2580 kg in GTO.

Ariane 4

The construction of a series of launchers named Ariane 4 with enhanced performance was decided in 1981. Those launchers are directly derived from the previous version, retaining the 3 stages and lengthening the first one and addition solid and/or liquid boosters.
The first stage of Ariane 4 named L220 is 23.2 m high. It transports 227 tons propellant identical to Ariane 2/3. It is still powered by a set of Viking 5 motors (version C) which provide during 205 seconds 2710 kN thrust at takeoff (3010 kN in vacuum, Isp = 278 s). The two other stages are those of Ariane 2/3 with a reinforced structure. The 3rd stage has been lengthened twice giving the H10+ (11 tons propellant) and H10-3 (11.8 tons propellant) versions. The latter burns during 13 minutes.

The flexibility of Ariane 4 is due to the adaptation of the payload by addition of boosters on the first stage. Those are of 2 types: PAP (solid) and PAL (liquid). The PAPs are an enhancement of the Ariane 3 boosters. They are 12 m high, weigh 12.6 tons (including 9.5 tons powder) and provide 650 kN thrust (Isp = 224 s) during 36 seconds. The PALs are built by MBB/ERNO. They are 19 m high, 2.2 m diameter, weigh 43.5 tons (39 tons of the same propellant as the first stage). Their Viking 6 motor fires during 143 seconds and provides 678 kN at ground level, 752 kN in vacuum.

The possible configurations are:
- Ariane 40: no boosters
- Ariane 42: 2 boosters, 42P with 2 PAP and 42L with 2 PAL
- Ariane 44: 4 boosters, 44P with 4 PAP, 44L with 4 PAL, 44LP with 2 PAP and 2 PAL

The launcher's height ranges from 54.1 m to 58.4 m depending on the cap used. Its mass ranges from 243 tons (Ariane 40) to 480 tons (Ariane 44L) and the GTO performance from 2020 kg to 4460 kg. Ariane 4 should remain in active service until the end of the century.
