Last night, the Vega-C 🚀 launch from Kourou spaceport failed (during 2nd stage burn).

will now have to investigate and find what happened, which could take several months.

Unfortunately, several / missions -the first of which Sentinel-1C- are to fly on a Vega-C. The failure and investigations would mean more delays before S1C is up as a replacement for the failed S1B.

We and others use the Sentinel1 satellites for monitoring .

Pleiades Neo 5 & 6 are likely in the ocean now. Appeared that there was a failure of the second stage about midway through it's phase of the launch.

In about 10 minutes Arianespace will start its broadcast about orbiting two geostationary satellites:

SES-17, a high throughput satellite operated by SES and SYRACUSE 4A, a telecommunications satellite developed for the French Ministry of Armed Forces.

Ah! Europe... sure... that space program there.

Who has set up that camera in such a terrible position? A Programmer or Mathematician?

lets hope that Europe will someday have a better space program than we have today.
