Overall view and cut-away of the Ariane 5 launcher
Ariane 5. Artwork showing an overall view (left) and cut-away view (right) of the European Ariane 5 launcher. Ariane 5 consists of a large first stage (lower 2/3rds of the central vehicle) flanked by two solid rocket boosters, with a smaller second stage (top 1/3rd). Most of the first stage is taken up by the vast liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks, which feed the single Vulcain motor at bottom. The second stage is powered by a DASA engine powered by storable propellants (dinitrogen tetroxide and monomethyl hydrazine). The payload depicted here is the Cluster mission with its four identical spacecraft. The first Ariane 5 mission, carrying Cluster, is due for launch in mid-1996

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Ariane 5 launcher, providing both an overall view and a cut-away perspective. The European rocket stands tall with its powerful presence, ready to embark on a remarkable space flight journey. The Ariane 5 is composed of various components that make it a force to be reckoned with in the realm of space exploration. Its large first stage dominates the central vehicle, flanked by two solid rocket boosters that add even more thrust to its launch. Meanwhile, the smaller second stage sits atop this mighty structure. A significant portion of the first stage is dedicated to housing immense liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks. These tanks serve as vital fuel sources for the single Vulcain motor located at the bottom of this engineering marvel. As for the second stage, it relies on a DASA engine powered by storable propellants known as dinitrogen tetroxide and monomethyl hydrazine. In this particular artwork depiction, we can observe Cluster mission's payload consisting of four identical spacecrafts attached to the Ariane 5 launcher. This visual representation offers us a glimpse into what lies ahead for this groundbreaking mission set to take place in mid-1996. Science Photo Library brings forth yet another awe-inspiring image capturing humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our earthly boundaries through innovative creations like the Ariane 5 launcher by European Space Agency (ESA).
