Last night was the last #Ariane5 flight
#esa

What an amazing launch! Happy birthday to me and congratulations to #ArianeSpace and #ESA for the last launch of #Ariane5's history!

Cette nuit, Ariane V s'envolera une dernière fois vers les étoiles 🚀
Une réussite technologique brillante, symbole de notre indépendance spatiale.
Beaucoup reste à faire pour la remplacer, l'Europe doit poursuivre et amplifier le développement de ses futurs lanceurs.

With #Ariane5 the motto of #ArianceSpace (any mass, any orbit, anytime) has never been more appropriate:
- Any mass: from the lightest launch at 3’800kg of the XMM-Newton (the first orbital dildo-shaped object) to the over 20’000kg of each of the 5 ATVs shipped to the ISS.
- Any orbit: Ariane 5 launched stuff into LEO, MEO, HEO, GTO, SSO, plus for acronym-phobics there is Lagrange 2 and if for those not attracted to Earth there also were launches into heliocentric orbits towards Mercury, Jupiter's moons and a for the hyper-extravagants a comet even.
- Anytime: Ariane 5 has launched in every month of the year, even Christmas (JWST) isn't a holiday at ArianeSpace and if all goes well this will be the second launch in Ariane 5's history on my birthday (July 7th) which is pretty incredible that it happened twice (the first was V184 back in 2008)

Weather update from #ArianeSpace, still GO for today's launch of the last #Ariane5 with #VA261's launch window still set at 22:00 UTC (July 7th at 00:00 for CEST)!

RT @NathalieTinjod: 4h du matin à Kourou. Lever matinal. En apnée jusqu’au lancement, depuis Venus pour nous. Pensées pour tous les collègues des agences, de l’industrie & de la communauté scientifique mobilisés pour faire de cette avant-dernière #Ariane5 & la mission @ESA_JUICE un succès🤞 🚀

RT @esa: ESA's #Juice lifted off on an #Ariane5 rocket from @EuropeSpacePort in French Guiana at 13:14 BST/14:14 CEST on 14 April. This launch marks the beginning of an ambitious voyage to uncover the secrets of the ocean worlds around the giant planet #Jupiter👉 https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Juice/ESA_s_Juice_lifts_off_on_quest_to_discover_secrets_of_Jupiter_s_icy_moons

"The liftoff kicked off an ambitious mission to study Jupiter and three of its biggest, most intriguing moons — #Ganymede, #Callisto and #Europa, all of which are thought to harbor big liquid-water oceans beneath their icy shells."

Echec du premier vol commercial de la fusée #Vega-C

On ne sait pas si l'auto destruction a fonctionné ou s'il elle s'est abîmée en mer du fait de l'absence de transmission des mesures peu après la déviation de trajectoire
Après il ne faut pas être catastrophiste le premier vol d' #Ariane5 a également été un échec avec actionnement de l'autodestruction
