Ariane 5/Smart-1 succesfully launched
Arianne 5 succesfully launched on Saturday evening (Sunday morning local
time), bringing into space the European SMART-1 satellite that will use a ion drive to get to the moon, as well as 2 other satellites. Interestingly, this launch was broadcasted on BBCworld. In the past, the only launches we saw on TV were the ones that ended up as fireworks giving the impression that Arianne exploded just about every launch. Hopefully there won't be any mishaps between now and the launch of the first ATV to the station. |
