The final countdown sequence for flight #VV24 begins: today's Launch Readiness Review (LRR) clears Sentinel-2C for liftoff 🚀. This milestone confirms that the launch vehicle, payload, Spaceport’s infrastructure, and the network of downrange tracking stations are all flight-ready. ✅ All is now set for the lift-off on September 3 at 10:50 p.m. local time in French Guiana (01:50 a.m. UTC, 03.50 a.m. CEST). ➡️ Tomorrow you can follow the launch #Live here: • ENGLISH https://lnkd.in/e5YSS9cB • FRENCH https://lnkd.in/e9wb_-6x This mission, called “VV24”, will place the Sentinel-2C satellite into Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) at an altitude of 775 km. Spacecraft separation will occur 57 minutes after lift-off. 🌍 Sentinel-2C is part of the European Commission’s #Copernicus #EarthObservation program, the world’s most advanced Earth observation system. This program, co-funded by the European Union and European Space Agency - ESA, delivers continuous, independent, and reliable Earth observation data and services to public authorities, businesses, and citizens globally. As AVIO’s Vega concludes its service with a total of 22 launches, we prepare for the transition to the Vega C launcher, scheduled to return to flight by the end of 2024. Stay tuned for more updates and join us for this historic event! #AccessToSpace #DestinationSpace Centre National d'Études Spatiales, Airbus Defence and Space, ArianeGroup, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, Simonetta Cheli, Toni Tolker-Nielsen, Stéphane Israël, #ChristophKautz

We are one week away from our next launch! #VV24 🚀 On September 3, 2024 (10:50 p.m. Kourou time | September 4 ,1:50 a.m. UTC, 3:50 a.m. CEST), #Arianespace will launch Sentinel-2C 🛰, a #Copernicus satellite for the European Commission within the scope of a contract signed with the European Space Agency - ESA. 📷 A few shots here of the satellite being placed inside the rocket fairing, prior to being mated with the Vega launcher at Europe's Space Port in Kourou, French Guiana. 🌍 This mission serves the #EarthObservation component of the European Union’s #Space Program, providing crucial environmental data for the planet (such as agriculture, water quality monitoring, natural disaster management and methane emissions detection), while also carrying out Arianespace’s commitment of guaranteeing #Europe’s independent #AccessToSpace.

The journey of the #JUICE spaceprobe continues after a spectacular world-first: a gravity-assisted lunar Earth flyby! 🌕🌍 JUICE altered its trajectory through space via a flyby, enabling it to reach Jupiter more quickly while conserving fuel. Having successfully launched this extraordinary mission by European Space Agency - ESA, we are eagerly watching the mission’s progress as the probe travels 800 million kilometres to the Jovian system. There, it will explore the icy moons of Jupiter, all of which are thought to harbor vast liquid-water oceans beneath their icy shells and potentially traces of life. 🛰️ 🚀 Arianespace's high-precision launch aboard ArianeGroup's penultimate Ariane 5 rocket on 14 April 2023 was a complete success. Our mission operators put JUICE into an escape orbit and precisely placed it on its trajectory towards the Jupiter system. This exceptional accuracy not only saved the fuel reserved for corrective manoeuvres, but also extended the mission's operational life. Congratulations to all the teams involved in achieving this amazing flyby manoeuvre. We’re looking forward to the Venus flyby in August 2025! 🤩 #AccessToSpace #LaunchServices #DestinationSpace

As the Paris Olympic Games have come to a close, showcasing incredible global talent, determination, and friendship between nations, we at ARIANESPACE are proud to reflect on our long-standing #partnerships with some of the best performing countries, in addition to France 🇫🇷: the USA (1st), and 3 Asia-Pacific nations: Japan (3rd), Australia (4th), South Korea (7th). 🇺🇸 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 Since our first mission with Intelsat on October 19, 1983 (Intelsat 507), we've conducted 115 launches. With 21 more missions planned, our partnership continues to flourish. 🇯🇵 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧 Our journey with Japan began on March 6, 1989 for Sky Perfect JSAT (JCSAT-1). Since then, we have completed 32 launches. While we currently have 2 more small satellites scheduled for launch as auxiliary payloads, our commitment remains as strong as ever. 🇦🇺 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚 Since our first Australian launch on September 16, 1989 for Optus (Optus A3), we've launched a total of 8 satellites. Looking ahead, our launch schedule includes one more mission for Australian projects, underscoring our continued collaboration. 🇰🇷 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚 Our partnership with South Korea began on August 10, 1992, when we orbited the first Korean satellite, Kitsat A for KAIST. With 8 launches to date and 2 more missions to come, our partnership continues to grow. 🌍 With strategic offices in 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧, 𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐲𝐨, and 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞, Arianespace is positioned at the heart of international space activity, facilitating close collaboration and meeting the diverse needs of our customers across continents. As we continue to support our partners' ambitions in space, we are reminded of the universal pursuit of #excellence – a theme that resonates both in the Olympic stadiums and in our journey to access space. The successful inaugural flight of #Ariane6 a few days before the #Olympics was the best way for us to enter the Games! Congratulations to all the athletes for their inspiring performances at the #Paris2024 Olympic Games.
