It’s a busy week space-wise, with the Space Shuttle launch yesterday and an Ariane launch on Thursday (14th May).
The European space agency, Arianespace will be launching its massive Ariane 5 rocket and placing two satellites into orbit, the Herschel space telescope and the Planck scientific observatory.
You can watch the whole launch via a webcast, and for once, it isn’t happening at stupid o’clock – but at a much more sensible mid-afternoon timeslot.
The webcast starts at 2pm, and the launch is due as soon as possible after that. I think a late lunch is in order.
