Maiden Flight of the Ariane 62 launch vehicle, carrying ten cubesats, two deployers, five experiments, and two reentry capsules.
Successful maiden flight of Ariane 6 from liftoff to payload separation in orbit.
An APU anomaly prevented the deorbit burn from happening, the reentry capsules will therefore remain attached to the second stage in orbit.
