ARIANESPACE FLIGHT VA219 - ATV Georges Lemaître
THE LAUNCH READINESS REVIEW (RAL) took place in Kourou on Saturday July 26, 2014 and authorized count-down operations for the ATV-Georges Lemaître launch. For its third Ariane 5 mission of the year, Arianespace will launch the fifth Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), dubbed “Georges Lemaître”, for the European Space Agency (ESA). Like the first four ATVs, launched in March 2008, February 2011, March 2012 and June 2013, the ATV-5 will play a vital role in bringing supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Reflecting the excellence of European space transport, encompassing both the launcher and the payload, this latest mission spotlights Europe’s key role in major international space programs. It will be launched from the Ariane launch complex N° 3 (ELA3), in Kourou, French Guiana.

Wir waren 5,1 Km entfernt. Da flattert die Hose am Bein wenn der Schall kommt. Pro Sekunde verbrennen alleine die Booster ca. 4 to. Treibstoff!
