Ariane 5 ECA : Performance : 20.7 t (200 km x 200 km / 51.6 ) 20.6 t (300 km x 200 km / 51.6 ) natural EPC falldown in the Atlantic Ocean no performance gain with respect to Ariane 5 ES and Ariane 5 ESv due to - non optimal staging for LEO - ESC-A non reignitable
Altitude = 100 km

Synthesis
Ariane 5 performance is interesting mainly for robotic exploration missions (21 to 23 tons in LEO) Maximum performance increase to 27 tons in LEO while keeping the general Ariane 5 architecture Ariane 5 heavy-lift derivatives could be considered but high development costs to be expected even with proven technologies Ariane 5 elements could be used through an international cooperation aiming at developing an upper stage based on EPC and Vulcain technologies
