Recommended Videos The camera was clamped firmly to a steel cable on the northern ramp surrounding the Ariane 5 flame trench, and the audio, which is also from the camera, picks up the noise of the approximately 3 million pounds of thrust generated by the rocket as it soars toward space. Ariane 5’s final flight successfully deployed the German aerospace agency DLR’s Heinrich Hertz experimental communications satellite and the French communications satellite Syracuse 4b into geostationary transfer orbits.
The Ariane 5 rocket bears some similarity to SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy and United Launch Alliance’s Delta IV, with a core booster and two side boosters affording it extra power for more complex missions carrying heavier payloads.
