![]() Lift-o weight: 38t.Īdvanced Diamant: an L10 (Coralie), a P10, a P4 Rita 1 and a P1.5. P1.5 to send 55kg in geostationnary orbit. Hyper Diamant: a P16, a P10, a P4 Rita 1 (from the ICBM programme) and a Super Diamant: a new P16 stage, a Topaze and a small P0.9 with a payload of 200kg in low orbit. Lift-o weight: 18t.ĭiamant 10t: a P10, a Topaze second stage and a small P0.68 with a payload of 130kg in low orbit. None of them ever went in production as the satellite weight was growwing faster than the launchers performances.ĭiamant 2: based on a military P10 rst stage and two «to be designed» cryogenic stages H2.2 and H0.5. Many projects were considered between 19. In addition some new vehicles developped for other programmes were considered: Coralie second stage from the Europa programme and components of the British cancelled programme Black Arrow.Ĭoralie’s engines, developped from Diamant’s Valois are the forunners of Ariane’s Viking. These are the direct ancestors of Ariane stages. ![]() Solid propelled stages are designed with the letter P (poudre) and weight.Ĭryogenic stage are designed with the letter H (hydrogène) and weight. Liquid propelled stages are designed with the letter L (liquide)and their propellant weight in tons. Following the initial Diamant successful launches, heavier vehicles were soon studied to carry the expected bigger payloads.ĭesigners could rely on the existing family of liquid powered stages used by the Diamant programme, as well as a new generation of solid powered vehicles built for the military ICBM and IRBM. ![]()
