For 40 years, ESA has been shaping the future in space. That continues as brand-new rockets are set to take flight: some reusable, carbon-neutral, hybrid, little, large, crewed, uncrewed, to Earth orbit and to deep space — the journey continues. #HappyNewYear🥳 #HappyNewSpace🚀

🔊Wake up with a rocket launch, up close and loud. A view of Vega-C flight VV25 with Copernicus #Sentinel1 C aboard – just 5 m from the launch pad 🚀 Yes, the camera gets knocked over by the blast. 😁 Second scene shows liftoff from 50 m away.
