Tests on the Ariane 6 upper stage are among the major milestones in this launcher's development. In Lampoldshausen, teams from DLR, ArianeGroup and the European Space Agency (ESA) were able to refuel the new upper stage and cool it down for the first time, testing its Vinci engine in a 'hot fire' test lasting 45 seconds.
