The new Ariane 6 rocket smoothly launches into clear skies at 4pm local time (1900 GMT) from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, carrying with it the continent's hopes of regaining independent access to space. IMAGES
Starship, SpaceX's massive prototype rocket, launches for its fourth test flight, and is now attempting to fly halfway around the globe before splashing down in the Indian Ocean. The most powerful launch system ever built, vital to NASA's plans for returning astronauts to the Moon and for SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's hopes of one day colonizing Mars, blasts off from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas at 7:50 am (1250 GMT).

Boeing launches its first astronauts bound for the International Space Station aboard a Starliner capsule, which joins a select club of spacecraft to carry humans beyond Earth. The third time turns out to be the charm for the aerospace giant, after two previous bids to fly with crew were aborted late into the countdown, for technical reasons. IMAGES
Blue Origin launches its New Shepard rocket carrying six adventurers to the final frontier for the first time in nearly two years, reigniting competition in the space tourism market after a rocket mishap put its crewed operations on hold. The passengers include Black sculptor and former Air Force pilot Ed Dwight, who was controversially spurned by NASA's astronaut corps in the 1960s. The rocket launched around 10:36 am local time (1436 GMT) from the Launch Site One base in west Texas. IMAGES
