On 22/06, a Vega launcher lifted-off from the Centre Spatial Guyanais at 22:52 local time to put into Orbit an ESA/EU spacecraft: Sentinel-2A. The mission was declared successful about one hour after lift off when the spacecraft separated from the launcher and the expected telemetry was acquired.

This is of course a major achievement for all the teams who contributed for this outstanding success. We do want to congratulate in particular our ESA colleagues who have been working very hard during the last months to reach this point. Well done!
