The 20-metre fairing just opened up to reveal our payloads to space for the first time. The upper and core stages of the rocket remain connected to the satellites as the rocket keeps moving forward.

Look who's on her way 👀 Our next Vega-C passenger, @science.esa.int's Smile mission, is making its way from Europe to Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. Can't wait to welcome her with an open fairing 🤗 Just for fun, see where she's at: www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/detai...

Here we go! 🚀 The first Ariane 64 is now fully assembled, standing tall inside the mobile gantry, on the launch pad. This 20-metre tall fairing hides and protects 32 Amazon Leo satellites until it's time to reveal them to space.

The launcher is complete, all systems are ready and the countdown is on! ⚡️ Flight #VA268 will take 32 Amazon Leo satellites from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana to low Earth orbit. Liftoff is set for 30 April 2026 between 09:08-09:57 BST/10:08-10:57 CEST.

The Helix engine was the first European engine to demonstrate staged combustion technology. This engine uses an oxygen-rich staged combustion engine cycle, to get the most out of every drop of propellant.

Vinci just fired for the third time to ensure a safe deorbit and allowing Ariane 6 to adhere to the zero debris approach.

Women aren’t just reaching for the stars, they’re engineering the rockets that get us there. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, these are some of the faces of @esa.int Space Transportation.

AVUM+ just fired for the last time to ensure a safe deorbit and allowing Vega-C to adhere to the zero debris approach.

After 2 minutes of pure thrust (and 142 tonnes of solid propellant), the first stage of Vega-C, P120C, was turned off and left behind. Now the second stage takes over: Zefiro-40 will fire for 3 minutes, propelling the Smile farther away from Earth!

Nice to see you, Smile! Vega-C just opened up its fairing to reveal Smile to the skies, for the first time. But the journey is not over yet, there's still a long way to orbit.

Finished up #Privileges that is streaming on #HBOMax. It's a good little drama / thriller French series starring Manon Bresch from Netflix's "Mortel" series. It built up things slowly so it took a few eps to have things kick off but by ep 4, things started popping. I liked it. #tvsky #streaming
