Title
Ariane 5
Description
Europe's normally highly dependable rocket, the Ariane 5, experienced an anomaly during its latest launch. Telemetry from the vehicle was lost about nine minutes into its flight from French Guiana, shortly after its upper-stage began the final push for orbit. Uncertainty then followed as controllers tried to determine the status of Ariane and the satellites it was carrying. Eventually, though, radio signals from the spacecraft were picked up. It seems the rocket did do its job - but beyond the sight of controllers on the ground. However, it is also clear the Ariane 5 left the satellites in a less than perfect orbit. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/science-environment-42623297
