- Well…sadly it wasn’t to be today for #Sentinel1 C 😔 Issue with the mobile gantry means a 24h hold for our launch but the good news is that the rocket and the satellite are both fit and raring to go 🚀FLIGHT VV25: POSTPONEMENT OF THE LAUNCH (1/2) Due to a mechanical issue preventing the withdrawal of the mobile gantry, the launch chronology has been stopped. The earliest targeted launch date is planned for tomorrow Thursday 5 Dec. at 6:20 p.m. (Kourou time , 9:20 p.m. UTC).
- Go Vega-C! Go Sentinel-1C!🚀 Our Vega-C rocket is returning to flight tonight! Our launcher will take @CopernicusEU #Sentinel1 C to space. The mission is the next in a series with advanced radar technology to provide an all-weather, day-and-night supply of imagery of Earth’s surface to benefit society.
- First thing in space I ever operated…fantastic machine 😍🥳Today marks 29 years since the launch of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) on December 2, 1995 and the journey continues!
