Tuesday, Snidely observed:
Snidely explained on 7/9/2024 :
Ignition, lift off, and through booster sep. Trajectory nominal >>>>>>> at 163 km.
Stage separation at about 300 km. Onboard cameras showing a
glowing Vinci motor.
Flight path shown heads up over Scotland. High inclination launched >>>>> from the equator!
Past the Azores, and in the initial coast phase at 7.57 km/s.
Approaching Austalia, with a good circularization burn at 577 km
altitude.
9 seconds of cubesat release, roughly over Tasmania.
Ooops, there's been a problem with the 2nd stage APU, used for tank
pressure management and engine relight. A planned second boost did not occur, and it appears the stage could not turn to the proper orientation
for the de-orbit burn. More information pending.
Still and all, much, much better than the first launch of Ariane 5.
