00:00...manager there, Jean-Frédéric Alessar, announcing the beginning.
00:04You'll be hearing his voice making all the major announcements throughout today's launch.
00:12So we have a number of control rooms on the job today.
00:15We saw them earlier.
00:17And Smile is about to begin a journey that will change how we see Earth's magnetic shield forever.
00:24Good luck, everyone.
00:25Buona fortuna.
00:37To all the DDO, be careful for the final sequence.
00:427, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:49Top.
00:49Allumage P120 et décollage.
00:58Propulseur nominale.
01:00Début du basculement.
01:05Fin du basculement.
01:24Tout les paramètres à bord sont normaux.
01:28We have liftoff.
01:31Smile has started its journey on board Vega-Sea, lighting up the night sky as it flies above the European
01:39spaceport here in French Guiana.
01:41The range operations manager telling us that the propulsion is nominal.
01:49We are heading northeast, out over the Atlantic Ocean.
01:55And we can hear the rocket now in our commentary box.
01:58It's taken this amount of time for the sound to get to us.
02:01It lifts off so fast, doesn't it?
02:04Tous les paramètres à bord sont normaux.
02:06La trajectoire est nominale.
02:09And we're burning the P120 at the moment, the first stage.
02:14Yes.
02:14The name comes from 120 tons of propellant.
02:17But now it's faster.
02:18It's 140.
02:20It's gained weight.
02:21However, he has a very tries to weight ratio.
02:25Yes.
02:26We can see our rocket in the night skies here.
02:29We can still see that P120 engine burning.
02:32Yes, we are towards tail-off.
02:35So the stage separation of windows is open.
02:38And we're waiting for the separation command.
02:41It's times quicker than the sound.
02:44And we've started what we call the dog leg maneuver.
02:47Yes.
02:47The dog leg is the name of coming from the shape of this maneuver.
02:52It's a very steep maneuver.
02:53Although the green line is the planned trajectory, the yellow line, the actual trajectory.
02:59And that's how it looks when we lose the Z40.
03:04And he's confirmed that we've switched on the Z9, the next stage.
03:08And we have jettisoned the fairing.
03:11As you say, we're now in space effectively already.
03:13We don't need it anymore.
03:15And he's telling us the propulsion is nominal.
03:19So we are now burning the Z9, the third stage, the Zephyro 9.
03:26Separated the Znerf.
03:28It's burnt its propellant.
03:29It's done its job.
03:30We don't need it anymore.
03:32And we are now, there again is a good view of our tracking stations and our flight path.
03:42So, Irene, right now, at this point, normally, we would switch on the upper stage.
03:50The upper stage is that point.
03:51End of the Vigilité Galio.
04:20End of the Vigilité Galio.
04:30Gracias.
04:52Gracias.
