Ariane 6 PPH - tony48/Unofficial-KNES-Wiki GitHub Wiki

Ariane 6 PPH was a proposed version for the next Ariane rocket, using only solid fuel on the lower stages and more efficient cryogenic engines as an upper stage. 3 versions were studied (Ariane 6 PPH A, B and C), using different configurations for the first two stages. PPH A and B are quite similar, using the same engines but differently arranged. PPH C is widely different, using a way bigger main booster and a lot side-boosters.

Those Ariane 6 versions may have been less capable than Ariane 5 (or than the actual Ariane 6), so it's unclear whether they could have been used for dual-payload launches.

Basic Build Guide - Ariane 6 PPH C

Ariane 6 PPH C is an heavier version of the PPH, with larger tanks and boosters. Also, the first stage cluster was replaced by a unique, large solid fuel booster. Oh, and yes, someone added 6 side boosters. But don't worry: they will detach soon !

Here you can see that it's carrying an ATV resuply cargo. Thus you have an idead of the capabilities of that impressive rocket.
