LAUNCH OF ARIANE V - VA 220

Up in the sky, my Princess Ariane... With 5 tons of fuel per second....per booster... It's easy peasy...

There is a lovely story between me and Ariane V.
I was lucky to be there for her 1st launch with all the "Companions" who worked on her (ouh la la...).
No worries, I will let you know...

Yesterday The beautiful Princess Ariane V "performed an heavy lift mission from the Spaceport in French Guiana, which orbited a pair of telecommunications satellites for Latin America: Intelsat 30, which is hosting the DLA-1 payload; and ARSAT-1."

"Both spacecraft were deployed into geostationary transfer orbits following their ascent from the Spaceport’s ELA-3 launch zone, with Intelsat 30 released nearly 28 minutes after liftoff, and ARSAT-1 separating approximately six minutes later to complete the flight sequence."

Enjoy !
