From cleanroom to space - MetOp-SG-A1 and Sentinel-5
Video Overview & Insights
Europe’s first MetOp Second Generation, MetOp-SG-A1, weather satellite – which hosts the Copernicus Sentinel-5 mission – has launched aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from the European spaceport in French Guiana. The rocket lifted off on 13 August at 02:37 CEST (12 August 21:37 Kourou time).
ESA should build a moon station. This could be a catalyst for the EUs economy
MetOp-SG-A1 is the first in a series of three successive pairs of satellites. The mission as a whole not only ensures the continued delivery of global observations from polar orbit for weather forecasting and climate analysis for more than 20 years, but also offers enhanced accuracy and resolution compared to the original MetOp mission – along with new measurement capabilities to expand its scientific reach.
This new weather satellite also carries the Copernicus Sentinel-5 mission to deliver daily global data on air pollutants and atmospheric trace gases as well as aerosols and ultraviolet radiation.
Wow high quality video absolutely amazing work be proud of our engineers...lift off humanity!! Here we go...hee..hee...hee!!
Ariane 6 is Europe’s heavy launcher and a key element of ESA’s efforts to ensure autonomous access to space for Europe’s citizens. Ariane 6 has three stages: two or four boosters, and a main and upper stage. For this flight, VA264, the rocket was used in its two-booster configuration.

@sindyhildebrandt9104No one is going to mention the rumble in the jungle?
@lextacy2008WOW
@HukkinenCongratulations🎉
To all their scientists and engineers🎉
今時、打ち上げるだけの動画なんて流行らないよ。時代遅れも良いところですよ。反省しなさいよ。❤
@安栖義尚-q6uAmazing video! Go ESA, go ARIANE 6!
@DarkralosHo visto il decollo di una macchina ufo Terra Universo. Le differenze ci sono quando l'ufo è schizzato verso l'universo più veloce della luce, per un nano secondo la realtà si è strappata.
@RaragrayI’m very impressed, to say the least. Amazing video, brilliant music, and a fantastic spacecraft.
@AntoineVideoLibraryLa séquence de 1m44 à 3m11 est prenante !
@jmb-the-only-oneFantástico. Gracias.
@AntonioRuiz-l7cEsa can also make an emotionally stimulating sizzle reel.
Go ESA GO EUROPE GO PEOPLE
