A little more perspective
The source explicitly qualifies the height as “up to,” so 53 meters is not presented as the exact height of every flight. The ECA identity also matters: related Ariane 5 versions and Ariane 6 are separate configurations.
The upper fairing, central cryogenic stage, and two solid boosters remain within the cutout. Launch-table height and flame are excluded. The generated finish is an interpretive European-vehicle illustration, not a reproduction of a particular mission’s decals.
Quick facts
Ariane 5 ECA uses ESA’s upper height reference of 53 meters. The complete illustrated launcher includes its fairing and two solid boosters; other payload configurations can differ.
For a presentation or a research note, include the subject, the measurement definition, and the measurement used. A picture alone cannot explain those choices. The comparison guide explains how to export an image and its source notes together.
