This compilation details the launches conducted or planned using Ariane carrier rockets throughout the period from 2010 to 2019. Since 2004, the Ariane 5 has been the sole operational model, available in both ECA and ES variants. The final mission involving the Ariane 5 ES took place in 2018. The ECA variant continued flights through 2023, completing the gradual shift toward the Ariane 6 system.
