Ariane 5 is a retired European heavy-lift space launch vehicle operated by Arianespace for the European Space Agency (ESA). It was launched from the Guiana Space Centre (CSG) in French Guiana . It was used to deliver payloads into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO), low Earth orbit (LEO) or further into space.
Falcon 9 Block 5, the most prolific active orbital launch system in the world.. This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit.

A Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful operational launch vehicles to date. This article compares different orbital launcher families (launchers which are significantly different from other members of the same 'family' have separate entries).
The Ariane 6’s predecessor, Ariane 5, flew its final voyage in July 2023, ending the rocket’s 27-year run. ... for choosing to launch a weather satellite on a SpaceX-built Falcon 9 rocket ...
On the other hand, if the propellants are cooled sufficiently, they exist in the liquid phase at higher density and lower pressure, simplifying tankage. These cryogenic temperatures vary depending on the propellant, with liquid oxygen existing below −183 °C (−297.4 °F; 90.1 K) and liquid hydrogen below −253 °C (−423.4 °F; 20.1 K).
In 2021, Falcon 9 carried a record of 143 satellites into orbit on a single launch. [7] Falcon Heavy uses three first stage boosters similarly to Delta IV Heavy, but requires a strengthened center core. Falcon Heavy made its first flight in 2017 and was most capable operational launch vehicle until NASA's SLS launched in 2022. [8]
