SSC supports simultaneous launch of Elisa, Pleiades 1A and SSOT

SSC has successfully finalised its launch support to the European space industry leader Astrium and the French space agency CNES for the six satellites that were simultaneously launched 17 December on a Soyuz rocket from French Guiana. SSC has supported all satellites during their 7-10 days mission-critical Launch and Early Orbit Phases (LEOP), which have placed them into their final orbits.

A Russian-built rocket has launched successfully from the European spaceport in French Guiana - taking with it a payload of mostly spy satellites for France. One of the civilian uses, though, is that one of the satellites will provide us with high-resolution 3D colour images of the Earth. Also on board is a Chilean eye-in-the-sky, which will be used for mapping farmlands. It's only the second time a Russian rocket has blasted off from outside former Soviet countries - following a similar successful mission last month in French Guiana. RT talks to Mark Hempsell, Vice President of the British Interplanetary Society.
