Context

The Ariane V is the European Space Agencies main heavy lift launch vehicle. It can carry an impressive 20t to LEO and consists of 2 stages accompanied by twin solid rocket motors. The Ariane V has been launching since 1998, ableit the first launch was a failure, and is expected to retire at some point this decade when the new Ariane 6 that is currently under development launches regularly.

Craft Info

Not much to note about this particular craft, just keep the gravity turn fairly shallow as the only gimbal comes from the Mainsail core engine. As in real life, this craft can lift pretty much anything below 20t to LEO and half as much to a Keosyncrinous orbit.
