See video of an Ariane 5 rocket launching the European Space agency's JUICE mission to Jupiter's icy moons from this morning.
An Ariane 5 rocket carrying a spacecraft bound for Jupiter’s icy moons was launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana at around 8 a.m. ET on Friday, April 14, in a spectacular daytime liftoff.
ESA provided a highlight reel of the launch of the spacecraft, including the liftoff and some stunning footage of the rocket soaring up through the sky as well as reactions from the crowd watching from near the launch pad in French Guiana, which you can see here: Or you can see video of the entire launch, including expert commentary and interviews with scientists and engineers who are working on the mission, plus coverage of the deployment of the solar panels and the first acquisition of signal from the spacecraft. That’s below:
These include a 16-meter-long radar antenna and a 10.6-meter-long magnetometer boom which are necessary to hold sensitive instruments away from the spacecraft body to avoid interference from the craft’s electrical systems. There’s a video animation showing the various stages of the spacecraft deployment process to give you an idea of what that involves:
