Buzztiger, in Sentinel-1C Launch Thread (return to flight of Vega-C)

Glad this worked out, good to have both Launchers back in service. We need independent access to space for Europe.

The Arianespace webcast experienced an anomaly between T+5:52 and 408s, the Vega C rocket seems to be unaffected.

It appears that we have Staging 3-4, Zefiro 9 burnout and separation, AVUM+ fourth stage ignition.

Décollage!

Trajectory and propulsion are “nominale”!

Go no-go poll is complete, they are go for launch!

tavostator, in Sentinel-1C Launch Thread (return to flight of Vega-C)

Fingers crossed, really hope it goes off without a hitch!

threelonmusketeers,

Same! Would be nice to see Arianespace’s launch cadence pick up a bit.

Great launch - there’s an article from ESA with a video describing the commissioning and operations to come: Eclipse-making double satellite Proba-3 enters orbit

Morphit, (edited ) in Watch eclipse-making Proba-3 launch today
@Morphit@feddit.uk avatar

Due to an anomaly detected in PROBA-3 spacecraft PSLV-C59/PROBA-3 launch rescheduled to tomorrow at 16:12 hours.

That’ll be 2024-12-05 10:42 UTC. Via the ISRO Youtube stream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJXXLLw0PBI

Edit: I suck at time zones - IST is UTC+0530

BrundleFly2077, in ESA, OpenCosmos sign contract for NanoMagSat mission

What an unfortunate photograph of those two people. Of all the ones they might have picked 😳

threelonmusketeers, in Super heavy-lift, frequent flights to space for Europe: Protein study results

Notables:

The potential proposed use cases of “a solar electricity generator and a data centre” seem not super practical.

The acronym is atrocious: “euroPean Reusable and cOsT Effective heavy lIft transport investigation” (PROTEIN)

The rockets look cool though. I’m excited to see what Rocket Factory Augsburg can do.
