Up-close and a unique perspective on the Vega rocket for Arianespace’s VV07 mission, which launched earlier this evening, September 15. Europe’s small-payload launcher delivered PeruSat-1 into orbit, as well as four SkySat Earth observation satellites for Google.
Liftoff occurred at 9:43 EDT from the Guiana Space Center near Kourou, French Guiana. Standing more than 98 feet high, the three-stage, all-solid propellant rocket offers 490,000 pounds of thrust at liftoff. Today’s mission marked the first Vega flight of 2016, and the seventh since the rocket was introduced in early 2012.

THE KIDS!! Here are our four satellites getting mounted onto their respective MLBs! This was a few weeks ago before they were encapsulated. Now, they're in a fairing sitting on top of a fueled rocket ready to go to SPAAAAAACE!!! Photo credit: @cnes_france #vv07 #Vega #SkySat #TerraBella #sslmda #GoBabyGo
