Vega-C and Sentinel-1C launch highlights
The third Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite, Sentinel-1C, has launched aboard a Vega-C rocket, flight VV25, from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The rocket lifted off on 5 December 2024 at 22:20 CET (18:20 local time).
Sentinel-1C extends the legacy of its predecessors, delivering high-resolution radar imagery to monitor Earth’s changing environment, supporting a diverse range of applications and advance scientific research. Additionally, Sentinel-1C introduces new capabilities for detecting and monitoring maritime traffic.
The launch also marks Vega-C’s ‘return to flight’, a key step in restoring Europe’s independent access to space. Vega-C is the evolution of the Vega family of rockets and delivers increased performance, greater payload volume and improved competitiveness.

Congratulations! I thought maybe ESA would play with our emotions a bit before confirming successful launch, you know, to build a suspense, but that's hardly important 🙂
ESA videos are nice but plz add some more explanation thoses kind of video should have somoene explane in details for 20minutes at least, we want more !
❤💕🚀🚀💕❤
That was a long day…💔💔💔
The music and editing make this feel like a comedy/parody video
complex work well done 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Go Europe go!
Europe #1, usa #2, Finland #3.
Nice music choice
The ESA and NASA need to learn how to cover a rocket launch like the private launch companies. Very dry, boring, with little telemetry or video.
its one use throw away rocket. Bet still cost more than just using SpaceX Falcon 9
Throw away rocket. Bleh

evidentemente imagino que el abuso es conmutado por mi red, cuenta Google, MAC adress y Vodadafone compañía de teléfonos. sabe que es víctima y sufre abuso.. lo subestiman sin evaluar la situación social y posición economica
from barcelona españa report abuse of our intellectual property. security space authorities, help please… someone must take responsibility for this problem. i am a victim of abuse, obsessed argentine and spanish gamers, please i need help. it is not fair of them to allow the debauchery of broadcasting satellite signals. there is only one life. please i need information… i think that allowing the emission of satellite signals in this way is your responsibility for the people.I obviously imagine that the abuse is switched by my network, Google account, MAC address and Vodadafone phone company. He knows that he is a victim and suffers abuse. They underestimate him without evaluating his social situation and economic position.
What I learned from this video is that ESA trusts in those iiyama monitors for monitoring rocket launches, whereas I didn't yet trust them as one of my desktop monitors!…
