Décollage réussi pour VV29 ! 🤩✨️ Suivez la suite de la mission avec nous : youtube.com/live/KL8tN7ImV… Séparation du satellite prévue à H0+57min ! Go Vega-C, go ! 🚀

🦎 Project Hyguane news! Just before retiring, our former Director Toni Tolker-Nielsen signed a contract with MT Aerospace and @CNES representatives on a crucial step towards low-carbon hydrogen at Europe's Spaceport. The contract confirmed the construction of a 4.5 MWp solar power plant named PV3: ☀️ This solar power plant will be the third facility designed, commissioned, and operated by @CNES. PV3 is a key element to supply low-carbon hydrogen for Europe's Spaceport. esa.int/Enabling_Suppo…

✅ Mission success for Smile. Following lift-off on Vega-C at 05:52 CEST, separation at 06:48 CEST and solar panels deployment at 06:49 CEST, Smile is now underway to study Earth’s magnetic shield. 🔗 esa.int/Science_Explor… @esascience @ESA_transport @CNES @Avio_Group @CAS__Science

Un altro giorno in ufficio. O il lancio di #SMILE visto dallo @EuropeSpacePort di Kourou, in #GuyanaFrancese. Il liftoff è avvenuto alle 5:52 italiane su un VegaC di @Avio_Group. 57 minuti dopo #SMILE ha raggiunto l’orbita e dispiegato i suoi pannelli solari. Ne racconterò

At 00:52 AM, from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, Avio successfully launched the #Smile scientific satellite. #VV29 mission has been the first #VegaC launch operated by Avio as Launch Service Operator. Read the press release: tinyurl.com/ydcnx82v #space #spaceiscloser

A Vega-C launch goes quickly! Just eight minutes after liftoff and Smile is already coasting 200 km above our planet. 🛰️🌍 In order: P120C fired and separated, Zefiro-40 fired and separated, fairing was jettisoned, and Zefiro-9 stage has now taken over.

LIFTOFF! Vega-C #VV29 is on its way. GO #Smile!

Smile is an @esascience / @CAS__Science spacecraft, launching on a Vega-C rocket, flight #VV29. @ESA owns the Vega-C programme, working with @Avio as prime contractor and design authority. Avio is also the launch service operator for this Smile launch. French space agency @CNES maintains the Vega-C launch facilities at @EuropeSpacePort.

🌤️ La météo est au vert, Vega-C aussi : tout est prêt pour le lancement de la mission #VV29 aujourd’hui depuis le @EuropeSpacePort 📺Le live a commencé, pour voir le lancement en français. Décollage prévu à 5h52. youtube.com/watch?v=KL8tN7… @ESA_transport @esa_fr @esa

H0-1h34min avant le décollage de la 1ère mission Vega-C de l'année au CSG 🚀 Décollage entre 00h52 et 01h32 (Kourou), 05h52 et 06h32 (Paris). Plus d'infos sur la mission sur centrespatialguyanais.fr

For launches like #VV29 to happen, we need a place to launch them from. And that place is @EuropeSpacePort in French Guiana. ESA's Director of @ESA_transport Géraldine Naja, and Director of the Guiana Space Centre at @CNES Philippe Lier, signed a contract for its continued operation. The contract covers all activities needed to operate the French territory part of the spaceport, including both daily operations and running of the facilities and upgrades to adapt @EuropeSpacePort for the arrival of new rockets, launch services and so on. esa.int/Enabling_Suppo…

Another mission. Another milestone for global connectivity from space. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes from Europe’s Spaceport 🚀 #LaunchingAmbitions #Ariane6 #VA269 @Amazonleo @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

They’ve arrived in Kourou ✨ The next Amazon Leo satellites are now at Europe’s Spaceport, where Arianespace teams are preparing Ariane 6 for its upcoming mission. Over the coming weeks, every step of the launch campaign will bring these payloads closer to orbit, from satellite processing to integration on Ariane 6.

Relive the highlights of VA268. 🚀 One week after liftoff, the success of mission VA268 continues to resonate. From final preparations to liftoff and satellite deployment, this mission brought together months of expertise, precision and coordination to deliver 32 Amazon Leo satellites into low Earth orbit. This “best of” video captures the defining moments of the campaign, the intensity of launch, the energy on the ground, and the precision behind every step. A mission to experience again. ✨ #LaunchingAmbitions #Ariane6 #VA268 @Amazonleo @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

Two launches. Two continents. One mission. Leo Atlas 6 (LA-06) and Leo Europe 2 (LE-02) launched just over 48 hours apart, delivering 61 Leo satellites to orbit and growing our constellation to 300+ satellites. Leo is next on the manifest for both @ULAlaunch and @Arianespace as we prepare to accelerate deployment rates in year two. Learn more: aboutamazon.com/news/innovatio…

(Re)Discover mission VA268's highlights! 🚀 On April 30, Ariane 6 successfully launched 32 Amazon Leo satellites in its Ariane 64 configuration, the most powerful version of the launcher, with Arianespace as launch operator. This mission once again demonstrates the performance and versatility of Ariane 6. 📸 Take a closer look at this exceptional launch through our selection of photographs.
