What appears in the image above is not a real rocket, but a model of the rocket that the European Union will send into space in 1996. This model was presented at the International Aeronautics Fair recently held in the city of Bourget and was exposed to the public the work to be done by the Ard rocket in the spring of next year. This is when they launch into space to analyze the behavior of materials used as rocket protection. More specifically, the study and prevention of reactions that occur when introducing the rocket into the atmosphere will be the teaching that researchers will draw from the trip of the Ard rocket.
